I sent a few emails of a none threatening nature to a woman I work with. The Police wanted to question me. She contacted the Police on the 20th Dec. Yet they only arrested me at midday about a month later. I would have been quiet happy to have gone the Police station voluntarily. The arrest happend in a workplace in frount of guests. I was put in a cell about 2:30 and no one bothered to interview me until 8pm in the evening. I admitted my guilt and my solictor said that I would probably get a caution. I was put back in my cell at 9pm. It was at 1am in the morning 4 hours later they said they where going to charge me and take me to court. I was told the reason behind this was that they saw me a threat to the public. If this was the case why had they taken 4 weeks to arrest me. I have never been arrested for a violent act of any kind. Do they really think after being in the cell I would walk out on to the streets and cause a riot? I was then put back in a cell with Custody Officers shining lights in my faces distrupting what little sleep I could get. How was I suppose to properly defend myself. I then went to the magistrates court where I was in another cell for 3 hours. By the time I reached court I was in tears. My defence Solictor could see that I had mental health issuses. In total I spent 24 hours in custody, this was a bloody disgrace.

my partner was arrested for something he didnt do, as at the time of this offence he was with me at home, the police kept him for 48 hours, then he was due in court the following morning, he was given bail, no police came for my statement as i know he was with me at the time this offence took place,he was then re-arrested kept for 48 hours, then back up in court, he was refused bail and sent to prison for 7 days, on the 7th day he was to appear at court again, he was then again refused bail, and sent back to jail for another 7 days,due back again on the 7th day, i have asked why this has happened and they wont tell me anything, i have not heard anything from him , and i dont know what to do,

I was arrested 2 years ago the police dropped the charges and decided not to investigate any further. Then a officer that knows my ex decided to reopen the case and charge me ( this being a officer that has arrested me on 20 occasions because of false allegations made by my ex) I now have a trial date .....i was arrested in 2011 and the trial is not going to be until 2013 ................ So my question is even if i am found guilty of this fit up because the trial is so long after the offence is it possible to be put in prison in the uk ? The charge is harrasment ( Texting 1 time a day asking how my daughter is or calling) And burgulry my ex claims i stole a picture of our daughter out her house there is no forensic evidence or anything like that however my solicitor has said be prepared for prison ???? But a friend of mine said because the trial is taking place so long after the arrest i cant be put in prison even if found guilty ???

For god sake, get a Court action started as asap, sue the ....ards for compensation.it is happening all over this country because the PO PO's think they can get away with murder. They seem to be a law unto themselves, and I for one who have successfully sued these idiots, would have started litigation the following day.

i was aressted for a fight nearly 2 years ago, i was left in a cell for 7/8 hours with a head injury. i was seen by a police officer the following morning who noticed my injuryand called a ambulance. The paramedics blue lighted me to a local hospital, where i was seen to and x rayed for a number of hours while being held by 2 police officers. I was released back to the police station and told to go to another hospital the next day. Back at the police station they put me in a cell that had cctv and called the police doctor, who was shocked at the way i was treated and told me to sue the police! I wasgiven a NFA and went on my way, but since then i have undergone 2 ops on my head and lost a lot of money taking days of work to vist the doctors/hospital. so im thinking i might take this further???

If I think I am being investagated by the police with my ex employer if I call the police and ask do they have to tell me.

I have listened to the UK Police Arrest Caution many times on TV and each time I ask myself what it REALLY means, but I cannot fathom it no matter how much I think about it. And if I can't get to what it REALLY means I suspect that many, many others have the same problem. I thought I would just be able to Google a question and get a sensible answer but this has utterly failed. When I closely read the words, the best understanding that I can come to is that an arrestee MUST reveal the WHOLE of his potential defence WHENEVER he is questioned by the Police;if he does not reveal the WHOLE of his potential defence at, e.g., the first questioning then there will be a PRESUMPTION AGAINST HIS INNOCENCE when he appears in court. I sincerely hope that this is not what it REALLY means for it would run counter to the principle of fairness that I naively like to believe has been established as the core of our legal system over many centuries. More than this (as if that wasn't enough) I note that this Arrest Caution is very often delivered to people who are emotionally extremely distressed or who are mentally severely impaired through drugs (including alcohol), or whose first language is not English, and who therefore cannot hope to understand what it means even if it did have some clear meaning;this too runs counter to any reasonable concept of fairness within our legal system. Can someone tell me in simple words what the REAL meaning of the UK Police Arrest Caution actually is? Can someone tell me if the Caution has any legal validity if it is delivered to a person who cannot hope to understand it at the time of its delivery (or, very likely, at any time), notwithstanding that they may answer 'yes' when asked if they understand?

i have read one of these comments about how a person has been examined by a doctor i dont understand why or how they are examined, i thought that only happens in hospital or doctors surgery, so do they mean examine a certain injury, a chat, or is it a routine all over medical examination.

1: The police have CCTV cameras in their cells, are they keep as custody records? 2: How long are they kept for? 3:What are the CCTV cameras for?

Sir or Madam, I was arrested and taken to a police station and charged with Child Cruelty, my husband had notified the authorities, and my two children from this marriage were taken in to care, I was given one hour twice a week to see them, in the charges it says that my husband KNEW about the things I was charged with, he knew that medication had to be given, and that there were different dosages but only that prescribed at the time should be given, I have tried to convince who ever that it was possible for him to swap the medication so I gave the wrong dosage either higher or lower, this is because of the Stress that he had caused me, by moving with what was our friend and building a case against me using another friends case, he had full access to, I have been stressed to breaking point with this, and he is laughing at me, his intentions are to divorce me, then marry his girl friend and try and get full custody of the two children, I have done all things asked of me by courts etc, as said he could have changed the prescriptions around,if this is the case, surely if there is or was a crime of child cruelty, he is equally to blame because he did nothing to question what I was or was not doing< he contrived a case against me to get the children into his custody and me locked up etc. SOME ONE HELP ME PLEASE

I was present for him being booked in and for his interview. I was phoned later and asked to attend the police station because he was to be charged. When I got there he had already been charged. I think this is wrong is there anything I can do about this?

i was arrested by the police and i told the custody sergeant i had a mental health problem, they only had me assest by a nurse not a doctor can they do this? I told the nurse i had a mental health problem. i thought it had to be a Forensic Medical Examiner that examined me? They did not tell me anything about been able to have an appropriate adult, they searched me and questioned me with out an approriate adult present. I was bailed. when i answered my bail i asked to see the police code of practice and signed saying i asked to see it, however the police never showed me this, i was in custody for 4.5 hrs and could not be questioned because the could not get an Appropriate Adult. Again they searched me without an appropriate adult been present, i pointed out that i thought an appropriate adult had to be present when i was searched. this time however they insured i have been examined by a Forensic Medical Examiner, i was re-bailed. I asked if when i attend my next bail will i have to be examined by a a Forensic Medical Examiner, they have said no is this correct?

i was almost arrested from my home after i bit an ex partner on the arm to stop him sufforcating me in an extremely tight headlock.my daughter heard the scuffle and ran almost came into the room, as i took her back upstairs quickly he called the police to report me for biting his arm, they came and has said i'm under arrest for common assult and that my children have to stay with this guywhile they take me to the station. when i refused to leave him in my home with my 3yr old and14yr old girls they were confused and asked me why don't i feel he can stay or they will call social services to come and take my girls into care while i be taken into custody. i then explained that this person was just visiting and not even british but visiting from abroard and had come for the day to return to his family in london then they changed their mind and decided to right down the events in thier note pad and not once did they ask to see where he had or if he had hurt or injured me they took his side and had also said that i was previously arrested in 2009 but they refused to tell me what 4 because i had never been arrested but the officer had insisted that i was. they said i have been coutioned and that i will recieve a letter saying when to attened court also the man who attecked me has been messaging about making sure he get me convicted. does this mean i will lose my children and because he was quicker than me to call police i will be most certainly charged for common assult even though it was eighter he sufforcates me to death or i bite him to release myself how is this fair. also being a black female and him self a mixed raced apperance i felt discrimitated agaist because i was the darker and bigger person. can someone let me know what do i have to expect to happen next and also my plans to start nursing in uni seem completely demollished now that i have this on me

If you leave the county and the police havent pulled you in for questioning then what is the protocol?

I was arrested on the basis I looked like a person on a photo from a cctv camera .the person in question was seen taking a purse from a pram .In fact I wasquote " positively identified " Firstly the person in question was at least 10 years older than me and thinner , my solicitor saw this straight away and also Iexplained that on the date of the crimeI was working abroad ( I live and work in France I was back in England looking after my mother for a few days ) I was eventually released without charges at about 22.00.However I was arrested about 12.30 and the police DID NOT send for a solicitor until after 19.00 although I said I wanted one when I was arrested .? So I wish to know is it normal to wait so long for a solicitor ? for a charge of theft ? thanking you in advance chris Mcdonough
