Challenging the Police

Ask a Question
Challenging the Police

Challenging the police if you feel they have not properly carried out their duties is a legal right for people living in Britain.

There are a number of different ways that complaints can be made if you feel the police have been acting irresponsibly within their duties.

Police Misconduct

There are a number of reasons why the public may want to make a complaint regarding police behaviour.

Reasons can include:

  • Abuse of rights
  • Harassment and use of excessive force
  • A member of the public has been arrested unlawfully
  • A member of the public has been a witness to police misconduct
  • The police are treating certain groups in the community unfairly
  • Allegations of corruption, hate crimes, assault and injury
  • Death or serious injury while in custody

Where to Make a Complaint

Complaints can be submitted verbally or in writing at any local police station. If you are making a complaint in writing always make sure you obtain a copy of the complaint for yourself. You can also make a complaint about the police to an independent agency such as the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB). Information that is given must be accurate and honest and contain as many details as possible. Remember, the police can take legal action against anyone who makes a false complaint against the police force.

The IPCC

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is an organisation designed specifically to deal with complaints made against the police. If a complaint is made directly to the IPCC they will then forward it to the appropriate police force. The IPCC is a regulatory body that sets the standard regarding how police complaints procedures are handled. This organisation will handle complaints dealing with the behaviour of police officers and police staff. You can also use the IPCC’s online complaint form to send your complaint directly to the IPCC.

Police Complaints Procedure

Complaints about inappropriate behaviour of police officers and staff must be reported within 12 months of the incident taking place. Details should be as accurate as possible and include the time and date of the incident, the people involved and the police identity numbers if possible. Also try to include the names of any witnesses to the incident and anything that may support your claim such as CCTV cameras in the area. Witness statements will also be helpful but should be set out only by the witnesses.

Investigating the Complaint

The complaint will be investigated by a complaints and discipline department within the police force. Most complaints will be dealt with through the local police force but there are exceptions. Very serious complaints such as assault, corruption and discriminatory behaviour may be passed on to the IOPC. The IOPC may then conduct a supervised investigation. The IOPC can conduct supervised, managed and independent investigations depending on the seriousness of the allegation.

Your situation may be slightly different. ask a question below ↓ and our editorial team will reply with our advice.

Why You Should Complain?

Many people who feel they do have a justifiable complaint against the police will simply forget the matter due to fear of consequences. However, the police do take complaints against police officers very seriously and allegations should always be thoroughly investigated. By making a complaint you are taking a stand that this sort of behaviour will not be tolerated within your own community. Complaints should also always be made if you are a witness to any type of police misconduct.

The Complaint Outcome

There are a number of different scenarios that may be the result of an allegation made against the police. As a result of a complaint the police may have to improve or change their procedures. If the complaint is of a particularly serious nature it may end up being taken to the criminal courts. The police may also end up taking misformal conduct action against the individual officer or officers that the complaint was made against.

Making an Appeal

If you feel that the complaint was not appropriately handled or you are unhappy about the outcome then you may be able to complain to the IOPC. The IOPC will look at the appeal and make a decision as to whether or not to investigate the matter further. The IOPC can also make the police change their decision or investigate the allegation further.

Members of the public should never be afraid of making a complaint against the police. Making a complaint is the only way to ensure that police misconduct is not tolerated within the community.

@N That sounds incredibly distressing, and a dismissed complaint is sadly common at the first stage. Escalate it to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) directly, as they can review how the force handled your complaint. Make sure your son has a solicitor specialising in criminal defence, not just a duty solicitor, and keep a written log of every interaction with the police. Organisations like Liberty and the Centre for Criminal Appeals may also be worth contacting if you genuinely believe he was framed.

My son is wrongfully accused of a crime he hasn’t committed.We believe he got framed up and now we struggle to get him out of this misery.
I have formal complaint they just laughed their way out.

Three innocent people a family of three, shame on such

I witnessed and reported the murder of my English friend. The GMP have concluded a murder case without interviewing the complainant or the witnesses. Now, they are silencing me and my family by harrasment and intimidation.
A genuine murder case swept under the mat.
Any advice, can anyone help!
Davec 14/07/2020 at 12:56 am
And they haven’t even got the initials of the IOPC correct. It is a total joke and it seems it will never criticise a group police action , only an individual officer who they are wanting to get rid of
Davec 13/07/2020 at 5:26 pm
Police arrested and prosecuted me for visiting a scam website. Made out it was genuine even though it wasn’t I have autism became very anxious cycle accidy3 days before I was de in court nearly killed left disabled and blind one eye court found me unanimously not guilty. Tried to complain that police caused me to be nearly killed. Police brick wall complaint I have also lost £2m due to this. Ippc are all ex police and won’t look at it. There is no way to get complaint fairly considered Look at Hillsboro. The police are above the law and can abuse it. They’ve ruined my life and family

Hi. My sister's boyfriend was arrested a few months ago. He has not been convinced. The police arrested him in a raid on my sister's house. They have tried to arrest her on money laundering, but didn't have any evidence. My sister has since moved house due to anxiety over living in previous house due to the raid. A few days ago they raided her new home and said that it was nothing to do with her but her boyfriend (who they still have in custody). Her boyfriend has never been to her new home. The police seem to be grasping at straws. My sister has had a massive decline in her mental health since this began. She is already thinking of moving house again but I think that they will just raid her new home if she did. I think she will end up having a mental breakdown if this continues. Any advice would be great.

English person living in Scotland, police are racist against us and will not help, we’ve suffered years of abuse from neighbours around us and even been assaulted, police won’t even make an arrest against the perpetrators but arrest us instead.

Evi Dence 09/04/2019 at 9:52 am
My son and I have had problems with a new neighbour (a senior banker) for nearly 3 years, he has verbally abused us, assaulted us, watched his dog poo outside our premises, driven at us, driven at speed across the grass verge in front of our house, made false accusations to police and local authorities, called my 40 year old son a paedophile because he'd looked at his 17 year old son, fishtailed when driving towards my 70 year old wife. The police refuse to take any action against him, the local authority have prosecuted for his dogs mess and served him with an anti-social order, yet he still continues. We believe senior police officers are influenced by Lloyds Bank or his uncle a senior Freemason! View 'Michael huke' on YouTube to see some evidence for your selves. We are at a loss as what to do to dissuade this mans actions!
Terry 26/03/2019 at 12:57 pm
Once a police PSD record a complaint under the provisions of the Police Reform Act 2002 are they legally required to investigate, or can they ignore the complaint? I have asked the IOPC this question, but am referred to the local force PSD who do not reply.
Simon 22/03/2019 at 7:01 pm
I would like to enquiry as to whether there is any case against Police? The crux of my enquiry is that we have long-lasting (for a number of years in a row) problems with neighbours next door. They behave in anti-social, harassing, abusive and threatening manner along with causing systematic noise disturbance by long-hours (until 3-4am next day) drunken parties held in their backyard garden which is just separated with fence. Our local Council have witnessed by issuing a formal abatement notice under Section 80 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Further, a breach of that notice has been twice witnessed by that same Council. Our problems with neighbours escalated to such outrageous displays like burning cigarette ends along with a bag filled with neighbours dogs' poor were thrown onto our conservatory roof. Police who did initially allegedly 'investigated' such behaviour concluded there was no case by even suggesting, in a mockery-sounding manner, that it could be seagulls who picked up burning cigarettes' butts and then dropped them onto our conservatory's roof. Further, just recently, there were another two outrageous displays of the escalation of the neighbours' abusive, threatening and harassing hate-motivated behaviour towards us. In the night-time (at around 2am) a heavy glass item was thrown from the neighbouring property into one of our house' bedroom windows. An hour later, the neighbour who was heavily drunk, used switched on high-pressure washer as kind of weapon by directing it at one of our outside CCTV cameras with apparent intention to destroy it. All these incidents recorded by our CCTV cameras which, along with video capture have sound-recording. As it is evident from these records contents, regardless that it is almost impossible to recognise faces of the perpetrators, nevertheless, both incidents are backed up by voice/audio-recordings which establish identity of the perpetrators. Police did initially again allegedly started 'investigation' by further quickly jumping to conclusion that there is 'no enough evidence to support prosecution'. This assertion appears to be false, as police did not investigate anything. Why? Plainly because the main house owner, our neighbour, is an active police officer of that same police force which allegedly 'investigated' my claims. I have already submitted a formal complaint to the Chief Constable, by addressing to the criminal activity committed by the police officer's members of family, as well as against the investigator who effectively buried out investigation by destroying / making 'inadmissible' all documentary evidence and failing to investigate criminal offences. However, shockingly, I have been approached by that same 'investigator' who is a subject of my complaint. Can I sue police for misconduct and cover up of criminal activity of the police officer's members of family?

I have reported to police about my sister who took tens of thousands of pounds out of my mams accounts even though my mother lacked capacity and was in a nursing home it was proved someone’s rent was going out of the account which wasn’t my mothers as she is fully funded safeguarding know all about this as does the bank and dwp who froze accounts one police officer on the case said there was enough evidence to arrest sister and partner then she left and passed it over to another officer who said he only had evidence to arrest her then after over a year of waiting he decides it’s not a crime because apparently she will get it any way when my mother dies this is unbelievable

Anon 08/07/2018 at 7:05 pm
The police do as they wish they are not fearful of being investigated by the IPCC why should they, police "police" themselves basically. My poor friend suffered as a result of relaying information to them assuming that they would help and wouldn't breach confidentially but they did just that and they do it openly too, they simply don't care.
Have they changed since poor Stephen Lawrence's death some 25 years ago - no!
I no longer have faith in them, - the force is no longer fit for purpose.
I would be fearful of having any contact with them following this incident.
bizzybetty 10/06/2018 at 3:03 pm
Many of the force is corrupt and if you are an officer with human morals you don't fit in!

Either gaining cheated funds for pensions or using position to lie or con the public (yes the police investigate themselves - their friends and collegues), so what do you expect.

Vote for a party who believes in justice and share, share, share on the net.
The disillusioned public will not stay quiet.

Look at all these people trying to get some justice!!! There will never be any because the police investigate themselves!

The police and magistrates find innocent people guilty and wreck lives so they can get a pay rise and promotion so don't waste your time its bs.

The police will lie for crap people they know as family and friends and make bad reports against good people.

My son was murdered on 28th j
October 2015 he was a fit 28 year old boy . The investigation into his death was almost none resistant I have for 2 years fought tierlsley for unuswered questions . Still last week ipcc came back with again the appeal is not being upheld. Not one question has been answered again fourth appeal. NOW I'm being told I cannot appeal against the discussion!! What decision you haven't answered anything just did they cross the I and dot the T nobody is listening to me concerning all this evidence they have ignored . I was asked by the DI had I ever thought about joining the police my answer was have you
The solid evidence they have ignored is disgusting the lying the none resistant line of solid enquiry . My son served for queen and country to be written off as a number not a human being . The guy who through him off the 11th floor was a known london drug dealer for the police to say we have never arrested him for drugs. Well if I kill someone you won't arrest me as iv never murdered anyone before??
I want to see the see the commissioner of police with all my findings I want answers I have
Tried for 2 years to get answers nothing not one. The ipcc have openly omitted they can only look at certain areas ie did the dot the I and cross the T what about all the rest . My son cannot ask for himself I am his voice now

My son has been assused of DV. I have evidence of a witness who was present at the time of the incident. I have told the police this in my statement as i too was in the house at the time of the incident. Photos were shown to police proving the fact. They have not sort a statement from the witness and are taking tbe case to the cps.. What can we do?
nikki 17/01/2018 at 11:02 am
How can the police not investigate evidence told and showed to them in defence of allegations made against some one .My sons bail has been extended as CPS have not made a decision but they have not looked into the evidence that infact his ex partner has set him up we have the evidence. Three separate occasions we have tried no one will listen he has disabilities and still no one has looked into it where is the safe guarding !!!

My wife had an affair with a police officer, I confronted the policeman but only on the phone as I did not know who he was, I found his number in my wifes purse, he cautioned me over the phone, I could not believe he was hiding behind his job and abusing the power he has.
To cut a long story short, he got away with it, his commanding officer more or less swept it under the carpet, the IPCC were not interested. This was 17 years ago. I have suffered with all sorts of mental conditions since this. The police look after there own.
Anna 03/01/2018 at 12:24 am
Police push me and want to arrest me for nothing. I call police report someone stole my friend passport. When we came to the house got thief. We said to them we call police if they don't return passport. They scared and throw my friend passport outside the house on the street. And they want to fight with us, we press call police, they saw we call police. Two guys go inside and lock the house. They don't let my friend come inside, he rent a room there and still valid. When police come, we try to ask them help my friend can get inside stay there. But they refuse to help. Police didn't knock the house and ask what happen. Police even shout at us, they don't let us explain. And one police lady push me ask me leave this place. I said no. I just stand outside on the street. I do nothing wrong. Why she push me and ask me leave? I said no, she said she will arrest me if I don't leave. My husband was very angry. He come hug me and protect me, he said to her"my wife got pregnant why you push her" she got no right to treated us this way. Where can I complaint? Unfair for me, for my friend. People stole his passport for a week. But police said as long as they return mean they are not thief. How those thief can respect the law if police just don't care?
Mark Durham 26/12/2017 at 4:05 pm
I have tried various ways of complaining and I can tell you first hand that the IPCC cover up for all of the actions of misconduct and corruption, I was a victim and nothing was done, the IPCC is a waste of tax payers money and a huge investigation needs to go into sorting this mess out, police misconduct, harassment and corruption is in all police stations and nothing ever gets done, colleagues don't whistleblow and look after there own, I'm disgusted with the police force and if I was to become an officer of the law, I would lead by example, but these days there is very little that can be done to protect your self from the bad cops, the good officers just leave and go to a different station whilst the culprits still continue there actions

Mungo at the Crossro 04/12/2017 at 6:04 am
I experienced abuse in a children's home. I was taken out of the home by the officer in charge to her private flat to abuse me. I complained at the time several years ago but noone listened. I went back to police and made video statement in 2010. My uncle who also abused me was jailed. However they took no action about the childrens home. When I complained they told me they weren't sure why they took no action but thought the officer in charge of he home was dead. They then said the officer in charge died in 2016 six years after I made my statement to them so was alive at the time. More recently I gave evidence to an independent enquiry for people abused in care etc and as part of their processes they contact police. Someone contacted me form the police. I told them what had happened but they just stopped responding to me.

I complained through the IPCC and the professional standards of the police. I got no response after eight weeks so went back to IPCC. They said they had now got police to record my complaint. Another six weeks passed I went back to IPCC. They got police to send a letter saying they were were recording complaint. Still nothing. Finally I heard from someone else form the police who said the person who was dealing with my complaint had now left and that if I wanted to complain to the police about the missed opportunity I should contact the professional standards which I have already done and been ignored. I contacted IPCC again who tld me they only deal with 'serious' crimes such as death in custody and cannot force the police to act.

I have been to countless solicitors who won't help due to time that has elapsed and the fact the police took no action. What happened to me in that home ruined my life and I complained at the time but noone wanted to know.
CivilRightsMovement Editor 28/11/2017 at 2:09 pm
If the police can't trace the man or don't feel they can prosecute for some reason, your other option is a private action via the courts. If you don't know who the man is or his address that might be difficult though. A solicitor should be able to give you details of your options.

I was accused of hitting a car in a car park with my car door, which I hadn't done. The man accusing me started to take pictures of my registration and told me he would deal with my insurance, so I started to take pictures of his vehicle to show there was no damage he didnt like this so grabbed me by both arms and threw me across the car park. I immediately phoned the police and whilst on the phone with them (they didn't attend) this man was screaming in my face and pushed me over twice more. There is cctv to back all of this up. I got a phone call from the police later that evening to say after listening to the call and my statement the man, when found, would be arrested for a section 39 assault. However the following morning I received another call from a different police officer to inform me that as it was unlikely I would bump into this man again there was no immediate threat to myself, and I wasn't injured, just red marks on my arms where he had grabbed me, it wasn't a priority case and would be looked into when they had an officer free. I have received a text message this morning (7days after the assault took place) to inform me after an initial investigation no further action will take place. Not even the courtesy of a phone call this time. How is it right that a man gets away with assaulting a woman in the middle of the afternoon under a cctv camera and isn't even arrested? Is there anything more I can do?
CivilRightsMovement Editor 08/11/2017 at 10:43 am
Ask the police why they were visiting? They should have told you at the time really.

My 15 year old is diagnosed with ADHD and was found setting a fire in the neighbourhood yesterday.
A community officer came to my home and suggested my son could take part in a FireBrigade Course. This was of interest so the community officer said she would return with forms for me to sign.
The community Officer returned with two police officers and I let them into my home not thinking anything of it.
The two officers looked into my fridge and decided to look up stairs. They lifted up my children's bed sheets to look at their mattresses. They told me 'You have too many kids.' I was in complete shock.
I asked what the nature of their invasion was and their response was defensive, rude and un answered.
Is there anything I can do to complain about this and if so whom do I address?
CivilRightsMovement Editor 01/11/2017 at 12:55 pm
Have you considered making a complaint to the IPCC about this?
CivilRightsMovement Editor 01/11/2017 at 11:05 am
We can't comment on individual liability unfortunately. If he wants to dispute the charge he will need to be willing to attend court and it might be worth seeking professional legal help.
Rower750 30/10/2017 at 1:10 pm
Hello,

My husband was involved in a minor rtc, his car was parked legally in a car park and it was rear ended by a woman who claimed she never saw his car there, fair enough she admitted fault, my husband was in the parked car at the time and was thrown forward, only minor injuries, the other driver reluctantly gave her surname and a phone number only, she never answered her phone. She refused her insurance.

My husband traced her and had put a note on her driveway gate politely asking to get in touch to sort this out and asked her again for her insurance details, she refused these, she for some reason took offence at something like this letter being hung on her gate, no damage was done.

Then out of the blue two police officers turned up at our door, saying they were there to investigate a complaint made over the communication the other driver had received - we were like? Huh a polite not asking her to get in touch over the accident she caused and her insurance details.

Police were aggressive and said my husband had no right to ask for her insurance details, any injuries he had weren't real if he didn't go to a GP, any legal advice he had was all wrong in their view, and the other driver had clearly just made a mistake, asked if he ever made a mistake, said she clearly didn't know her insurance and shouldn't be harassed for it! One officer said he didn't know his insurance company off hand either, all odd and personal comments to be making we thought.

Put a complaint into the local station and was told that there was no such complaint ever been made against my husband. So the police have lied, made up an allegation which was false to gain entry to our house and harass us. When the officers were questioned they lied to their Sgt stating they never said they were investigating a complaint against my husband. So no reason for them ever have called around, no criminal matter to be looked into at all here, the officers have called around to harass us, i've since learned that the lie of the complaint they made up to gain entry to our house and stated this was the reason of their visit, was caught on the home cctv audio. What's my next step?
Danielle 29/10/2017 at 11:56 pm
My partner was involved in a car accident.
He had finished work at 8:35pm, got in his car & was making his way home, he drove down a dark country lane, he said he saw two ref lights up ahead (another car), being dark he thought the car was moving, all of a sudden he said he came too close to this car, slammed his breaks & crashed I to the car up ahead, the car was stationary on the road with no hazards on, talking to a cyclist. Ambulance, fire & police came, thankfully no one was hurt. After my partner spoke to police they decided to blame him with dangerous driving despite him doing the legal limit & the car in front having no lights on. To me this doesn't seem just, he wasnt drinking, speeding or doing anything wrong but he has been given the blame. Can we appeal this? Does this seem fair?
PJ 12/10/2017 at 5:15 pm
Have had police refusing to respond to crime, stating it is a civil matter, they ignore crimes which are defined as such by the Home Office, but simply refuse to respond. Is there any way to have them do their duty.
CivilRightsMovement Editor 10/10/2017 at 2:26 pm
If that's what your solicitor advises (and he/she will have more background information than we do) then we would go along with that.
Dabby 09/10/2017 at 12:26 pm
Arrested then no further action taken, had to inform my employer and I willingly signed for them to access my police records. Subsequently now face dismissal as there was another allegation of harassment, damage to property and theft which I was unaware of and never charged for, but which my employer state I never made them aware of. I have since been in touch with my solicitor who advised to go down the police complaints route and take it from there. Is this necessary?
CivilRightsMovement Editor 29/09/2017 at 3:31 pm
You should seek professional legal advice about this, it's not something we can advise on.
Marimena 28/09/2017 at 6:04 pm
I was involved in an accident Christmas of 2015. I was driven into by a private police car when it tried to overtake as I was turning at a junction. The inspector that reviewed the dash can footage came to our home and apologised and said that it was the mistake of the police officer. I was not concerned about taking legal action against the police but 2 years on I am still suffering from whiplash and most annoyingly although police had said it was not my fault the insurance found me responsible. Is there any type of compensation I can get to try and seek private medical treatment? Many thanks

However he is getting harrassed and having people inciting violence towards him, even taking pictures of him while he does his shopping! He has gone too the police where he lives and they have said they won't do anything as they want to keep the public happy. He's been to see them again and said they still won't do anything. I don't understand how he's getting harrassed and the police will not do anything about it. He pays his taxes, he works so hard. But he is now struggling. Are we able to make a complaint?? Thank you
CivilRightsMovement Editor 19/09/2017 at 1:45 pm
You need to make a complaint to the IPCC about this. It might be worth seeking professional legal advice - 22 times seems particurly excessive, especially if no charges have ever been made.

After getting separated from my ex partner I have been the victim of serious harassment from her and her partner. She lives in a small village where most of the police are local and are friends of hers. I'm continually being pulled into the police station in my own area over these false allegations. Almost 2 years ago a police officers wife entered my taxi and threatened me by telling me that if any charges were pressed against my ex they would be lost and not followed up but their local police force were looking to help her out by charging me for stupid things. I've complained to police Scotland only to be ignored. I've been released every time without charge after 22 times in police station it's driving me nuts

I gave a witness statement to the police which was true to the best of my knowledge, I then tried to give photographic evidence to the officer, who refused to take it from me, this may or may not of had an impact on the guilty verdict of the case.
I filed a complaint and had proof of this in my phone.
He then arrested me (seizing my phone) for making a false statement and due to this I was told my complaint could not get dealt with until my arrest/case was over.I got a letter telling me no further action was being taken against me, but when I tried to get my phone back I was told I couldn't have it as the same officer was challenging the decision of the cps
It Has since become apparent that part of my statement was not accurate, but was still to the best of my knowledge at the time given.
I have been found guilty of perverting the course of justice, and have been told I will get a custodial sentence.
My statement was changed and original went 'missing'.
CivilRightsMovement Editor 23/08/2017 at 9:56 am
This is a completely inappropriate thing for a police officer to say. The IPCC may be willing to address this
Ella 21/08/2017 at 5:30 am
I was encouraged to complain about the police by Victim Support and I received a visit by two officers after dark saying that Victim Support had sent them to see if i was alright.Another member of my family was present. The officers then went on to say that they didn't
Ike people complaining about colleagues. I don't feel I can report anything to the police anymore. I have health difficulties which makes everything harder.
Ffeds 16/08/2017 at 9:08 pm
The police have been informed by the ICO that they must provide me with certain documents I've requested because i'm legally entitled to them. It is now 2 months later and every time I call up they tell me the person dealing with my claim is in a meeting. The police honestly believe they don't have to follow the law because they are never held accountable.
CivilRightsMovement Editor 15/08/2017 at 11:44 am
You could seek professional legal advice, or if you evidence that the police took no action, make a complaint to the IPCC.

Hi I reported a crime 2months ago of threats to kill and racial words the police still haven't action anything what can j do
CivilRightsMovement Editor 27/06/2017 at 10:22 am
If you don't feel the police have acted in the correct manner, follow the guidance on the IPCC website
CivilRightsMovement Editor 26/06/2017 at 2:46 pm
It's certainly worth making a formal complaint about (a) lack of response at the time of the incident and (b) lack of response to your follow up complaint. Here is the IPCC how to complain page
H 24/06/2017 at 10:17 am
I recently had someone try to run me over twice in an Asda car park in front of multiple witnesses. The police have charged him with making a racial comment (before trying to harm or kill me). I feel this has been taken far too lightly, what can I do?

Thanks in advance for any help
JimT 23/06/2017 at 11:12 pm
Hi,

My house was recently broken into but we weren't present. Our neighbours called the police at least twice, possibly 3 times, once at 3am, second time at 6am, and possibly 3rd at 6:15am - when the break in itself was taking place - yes, they returned 3 times. We feel that because the police did not originally attend at 3am, this may have prevented the break-in and our belongings taken. Do you think we have a complaint here? We have emailed the police to query this but no response after 3 days.

Thanks.
CivilRightsMovement Editor 16/06/2017 at 12:15 pm

Hi
My partner was arrested 2 months ago but he was released without being charged. In the process of the arrest some of my property was seized as being necessary for the investigation. I have not gotten my property back yet and when I call to find out I get told theres nothing I can do but wait. Its been more than 2 months now and I need my laptop for work. What can I do to get my property back or make a complaint against this?
CivilRightsMovement Editor 03/04/2017 at 2:26 pm
Who did you complain to? Try letting the IPCC know about this. The best thing to do would be to tell your insurer, give them the police incident number and let them sort it out.
Cassie 31/03/2017 at 5:05 pm
Hi my car was write off while being parked. There was a witness who saw everything. I reported it to the police and they lost the form so I submitted it again. I've had a letter from the police saying my witness did not co-operate. My witress sent the form back to the police recorded delivery and kept the receipt which shows it was signed for. Police are now saying I ran out of time.. everything was sent in plenty of time ..I'm fuming. I've made a complaint but heard nothing
CivilRightsMovement Editor 21/03/2017 at 11:38 am
We can't help in situations like this. You need to seek legal advice....try Citizens' Advice to start.

I can relate to most of your stories i was told that i have mental health problems by the police they referred me to mental health because i am asking why treat my family and I like thieves it is not a joke and they all lies together for one another they don't care I have complained to the IPCC and i want to see what the outcome will be if they would come and section me for talking the truth why can't you talk the truth in this country what is happening
Trinitidbone 20/03/2017 at 1:14 pm
The police use their powers to intimidate you because they believe we are too scared to confront them but i had enough of them are their lies they are treating my family and I like thieves for the past 7 years and even using our car numbers so when we go for petrol they come to the window and looking at us we changed? out cars and the same thing is happening what i want to know who give them all this authority to treat people like dogs this is discrimination because you don't have a life at all.

CivilRightsMovement Editor 22/02/2017 at 2:04 pm
If you feel you were unfairly treated and have evidence to back this up, it might be worth lodging a complaint.

Hi i will keep this short as I can need some advice i was on my motorcycle yesterday evning when a police car going in the opposite direction spun around followed me to my address and as I was going thew my gate in my back garden the officer jumped on my back and tried pulling me off my motorcycle only stopping ones my fiance come outside with my 9 moth old girl in her arms then his attitude changed abit I told him to get off my property as he was being very aggressive and obviously me not being very happy I didn't wish to speak to him he wouldn't leave so I ushered my fiance indoors and tried closing my back door but couldn't because the officer stuck his foot in my door he said his resons for doing it was first because my rear light wasn't working then it changes to speeding then he changed it to going over a mini roundabout then assault. They did not make any attempts to pull me over what I would of done if they did as my bike is mine and all up to scratch I feel as if I should complain I do have video evidence of this from he had his foot in my door as I felt very threatened at that point. Any advice would be very much appreciated
Kazzie 17/02/2017 at 2:54 pm
The IPCC is not fit for purpose. When you contact them you are gaslighted and lied to by the form filler they employ to shut you up and scupper the investigation that never takes place. The investigation that they do not bother to investigate (they are too lazy, bad tempered and narcissistic to care) because you dared to complain about them – they make you suffer. This is what I have endured with the waste of space South Norfolk Police. JW is the so-called Police Commander for South Norfolk. She is a bully and a gas-lighter, was dishonest and cruel to me for questioning incompetence. My cat was stolen on 24th May 2016 by a mentally deranged old woman. She gets kicks out of stealing cats and making the owners suffer and she gets a high from not allowing the cat to leave once they are in her stinking, filthy, dilapidated home. She is the person who I suspected had stolen her as she admitted to having my cat when I questioned her. The police dragged their feet and were very rude and failed to do anything about this woman and she still continues to steal cats and get away with it. My neighbours animal was stolen but managed to escape after 4 months in 2015. Cats Protection say that she is known to feed cats. There is no need for her to do this as all the cats in Mill Lane, Thetford have owners and are not STRAYS. She uses food and milk to lure them in and then they cannot go home – because the animal abuser and psycho does not allow them to. I reported the incompetent police to the IPCC. I have been emotionally abused and lied to by JW. I can image what rubbish she has written down on the form. She said that she was not going to put it down as theft. Was that revenge for complaining to the IPCC? What is it if it is not theft. Of course its theft? My cat did not rent a flat and feed herself for the 9 months she was imprisoned by an evil psycho from Mill Lane, Thetford, who should not be living on her own as she is a danger to all cats in our area.

JW was rude and aggressive and said you are not going to like this. She went on to lie about the officers searching the house. They would need a Warrant to do so. As the Old Woman switched her story and she and her daughter both lie about her cat stealing. The Old Woman lied and told them she did not have my cat. They are nice to the criminals and stab the victims in the back. She had the audacity to say I am not going back there again, we could be charged with harassment. I was intimidated by the cat thief's daughter who knocked on my door after I told them to return my cat. She screamed her mother's innocent because this is what liars do, alter their voices to cover the lies. JW said she was going to get back to me before she went on holiday, that was on 12th January 2016. I have not heard anything more from the liar. I do not want to hear from the bully again. She is employed to cause mayhem and not solve crimes. Norfolk Police are not fit for purpose and are a waste of time. We would be better off
mwstuntz 16/02/2017 at 2:05 am
I had a log made against my name for harassment, made by a mental health service I was engaged with.

They made the call to the police based on NO evidence. Details of this I wasn't aware of until a month or so after the incident.

As I have recently stood up for myself and made the conduct of these people public, not just the police log, I receive an sms from the managing director claiming abusive messaging for my posts online and that he has called the police.

I have not harassed him. It is clearly him retaliating fro the fact that I made the conduct of him and his colleagues public.
PhilD 09/02/2017 at 1:21 pm
This whole country is now corrupt from the top down, with police covering up for inappropriate and grossly incompitant actions, politicians, council workers, dwp workers, wca assesors, all working the head, fiddling paper work and subsequent reports, in order to make themselves look good and covering up for massive levels of incopitence and harassment, of large groups of people.

In this country now its the most ruthless, evil, devious, head working obnoxious bullying people who, get what they want.

I'd like to comment please,, with seeing many people's comments on here by seeking on any help or advice. However, I don't seem to see any replies back relating to giving out any help or advice. ? Why is this ? Thank you.
Maza 06/02/2017 at 8:31 pm
Hi,, may I please place here on an issue that has happenend to myself. Which I feel really badly let down by the police. Due to my downstairs neighbours. (Whom I've always helped them when ever they had asked me). However, there was always issues regards to there oldest daughter. To whom had re-created some issues trouble back in 2015. And on June 2016 I had tried to speak to this young 22 year old politely by asking her to stop all this trouble she was causing. (Which her two parents where there... and this taking. Place while walking my young dog). Then the father had decided to jump in by being intimidating towards me. And prevented me more than once to enter in to main close area. With threats aimed at me. And telling his daughter call police. (Before Anything had happenend). She went in close area to house to do this. (But to claim herself being false whiteness). Due to the father being threatening towards me my dog had tried to bite him. Which i was making sure he was not able to do. As with trying to detain my dog by the use of my right hand and right leg in front of him. Was then man hit me. I did hit him back. Again as I was trying to enter in close area the wife grabs my hair from behind and punches me twice. I then could only pull her hair down to stop her punching. Police came out and family falsely accused me of assault (to both! So meaning I was fully able to assault attack two adults with only having the use of my left hand and leg... and trying to detain my dog at the same time). Also falsely accused me of racism comments. Which again not of truth. (also I not have any history record of such accusations ever to be against me and never being in trouble) (And this family had also placed onto housing officer in our housing with accusations of being racism and stalking the whole family). The police had seen some of my injuries on that night. However the police had decided to believe there statements. I had tried to place counter charges on to those responsible for injuries placed on me. Police refused me my own rights to do this. By saying due to the both of them not admitting to this and there's no evidence to place counter charges. Even though I had told them that there is evedence as I've taken pics of all injuries. But no they refused. I tried this second time counter charges as I know this is wrong to refuse me my own rights to do this more upsetting was comment made by one of officers saying to me on phone "this will not be placed on your record till your found guilty". Which I found this wrong with him saying such comments like this on to me. I feel that this police officer had something majorly against me,, regardless with the fact that I'm not even known to the police as I've never been In trouble. But yet I'm being treated in this unfair way. ?? Thank you.
CurlieGirlie 06/02/2017 at 7:36 pm
In 2013, I was harassed and intimidated by a gang of Youths. They made a number of false allegations against me including that I had assaulted a young mother and her baby (who was in the group) In fact it was me that was assaulted and my glasses were broken. They called the Police and the police spoke to them first. I told the police I had been assaulted and showed them the broken glasses. They took no notice and six weeks later I had to voluntary attend the Police Station. I was interviewed under caution. The decision was made to refer the matter to the CPS. I was not charged nor was I put in Police Custody. Yet when I voluntary attended my DNA, fingerprints and photos were taken. The CPS decided to charge me with Section 39 Assault .I entered a plea of not guilty. It took 11 months for the case to come before the Magistrates. During the trial the accuser admitted no assault had taken place, thus changing her version of events. The case was dismissed. I made a complaint against the constabulary involved. They are stating that I was charged and in police custody and therefore they were permitted to take my dna, fingerprints and photos. I was not charged by police and neither was I in police custody. They say they took independent witnesses statements but they were all from the group of Youths, no witness appeal was made by the police. The treatment by the police has left me with PTSD.I believe they did not investigate the matter, or treat the case subjectively and impartially. The Constabulary have not upheld my complaint. I have taken my complaint to the IPCC but they are still saying that the police were permitted to take my dna because I was charged and in police custody.This is factually incorrect information. Is there anything I can do? As anyone got any advice for me? Thank you.

I was arrested by GMP as my ex said I made a death threat to her and I said I had not made the threat but was given a police pin noticentre so I have not been able to talk to her since 3 March 2016 so not been able to ask to see my girls 8 and 11. She made multiple death threats to me including when I was in hospital that will have been documented. Then she made more death threats aimed at me through my daughter with two being recorded but the police talked to her without talking to me as my daughter went to them and said I'm disabled I have daily seizures and have a bad back and already had a spinal operation and sleeping on my ladding floor in fear for my life and it's the only place with no window. I was arrested at 7pm onot the day I came out of hospital just as I was about to start eating my tea. I have a morphine patches on 24/7 and in custody I had my medication 13 items at 10 pm and at 8am and using oral morphine in custody but was offered cereal at 7 am but I said I can not have milk it makes me sick due to medication I was held till 2pm so 19 hours with no food and my meds say to be taken with food but the police say they have done nothing wrong I think our police are a bunch of complete idiots.
Daddydawson 16/01/2017 at 9:25 pm
I was in my kitchen cooking with my son, the kitchen door was open and we heard a knock, two police officers who failed to identify themselves by number despite many requests. They asked who i was I said why, at this point the male officer starts ranting and swearing at me, grabs me by the neck drags me outside slams me into a wall and starts punching my sides, I managed to turned my back and the assault continued, then out of the darkness two huge blokes, now known to be warrent officers ran round the corner and joined in the beating, one even smashed my arm into the corner of a wall, a suspected fractured elbow the result. One of the warrent officers also man handled my fifteen year old son. At no point did anybody identify themselves or explain why they were there. I struggled back into my house and they called for back up, five officers forced me into cuffs despite me clearly in an anxiety attack and some what battered and bruised, they forced me to pay a £450 fine or threaten to lock me up and have my children put into Care.

What are my rights in this, my son witnessed it all and got most of it on video.

Earth Angel 03/01/2017 at 12:33 am
Some 3 years ago I was taken in by a Con Man, who knowingly and intentionally lied and deceived me in order to take advantage. He took money from me, "used" and psychologically abused me. When I discovered the truth - everything he had told me were lies - I publicly exposed him in order to warn others. He had me arrested for harassment. I pleaded not guilty at Crown Court. My abuser was allowed special measures to appear behind a screen in court, under oath he described himself as "A Mouse" and admitted to telling lies. Because I showed no remorse, the Judge gave me a 12 month sentence, 6 months custodial. I served 5 months in jail. Whilst in jail and out on probation I wrote to the arresting officer, trying to prove my innocence and sending him evidence which wasn't allowed to be put before the court, along with expressing my dismay at how the police and court had also been taken in by the same cunning and devious person who fooled me. There were no threats or abuse in the letters. 10 weeks have elapsed since writing the last of the letters, all addressed to the police station, to which I had no acknowledgement or any communication whatsoever to ask me not to write any further. The letters were my way of trying to deal with the horrendous situation I was going through, being in jail - a victim of someone with no conscience. I underwent counselling to help me try and come to terms with the nightmare of events brought about by the dishonesty of that person. 2 weeks ago I was contacted by my local police to attend an interview - the police officer I wrote the letters to has reported me for harassment. What he is hoping to gain? Having me sent back to prison? Compensation? I think I have been punished enough for what I considered to be my "duty" when I exposed the person who exploited me. Yes, perhaps I should have reported my abuser to the police in the first place, as my probation officer advised, but, would they have done anything about him? He told me his daughter was a police officer - how true that is, I don't know. I have an appointment with my Solicitor next week. I am innocent and want to plead Not Guilty, but, because of my last experience, I really don't think it would be in my best interest to do so, the way the law works. I have always held the police and judicial system in high regard, having never been in trouble with the law before, but I am afraid, the way I have been treat, I can no longer trust them.

Help me go further, I was strangled by a PC, brushed around neck, taken to court as they say I hit PC which I did in self defence, as I was being chocked, court threw case out due to lying officers, GMP failed to deal with PC and coved he's lyes, threw a investergater lying on my statement that was forced to sign without reading, threw out GMP have coved and lyed threw out, they have turned down complaint, not knowing that the same people I'm complaining about, are the ones who is turning it down, GMP are saying there's no appeal, I've already appealed? How can I go in front of a judge and present my case as GMP are so cunning at getting away with crimes there officers are doing and there investergating team coving up, I've got proof I just need the right people to deal with it, like a judge

trucker43 04/12/2016 at 2:04 pm
I have a stepdad who has a low iq of 62 and was falsely accused of csc. He has many character witnesses who was not involved with the investigation of the local police. There were a few others that were not questioned during this investigation. Also during the investigation they did not make him aware of the allegations until the prosecutor issued a warrant to pick him up. The investigation only consisted of him, his wife, his mom but that was only after the arrest. They talked to one neighbor that didn't really know him that long but if they would have questioned his grand kids that were there which was left unsaid and also myself they would have followed through with their investigation.

During this investigation they would have discovered the accusers were involved in a prior case which the gentleman pleaded guilty to as well as discovered the testimony of the accusers was also stated in the other case as well.

So i wanna say the investigation was improperly handled and now the stepdad is in prison for a crime that had never been committed due to this mishandled investigation.

After 29 years of living in a residential area we have such inconsiderate neighbours who think this is a bus depot parking almost 10 buses doing repairs spray painting idling the buses at all odd ours, a family member of mine even picked up a lung disease due to all the fumes ect,. After contacting metro police,town planning parks and gardens on numerous occasions including files that was opened regarding this matter we still have no joy as it would seem our neighbours work hand in hand with the aboved mentioned reason for this its been two years and they have still no concluded their investigations despite having have all the evidence that we have provided at a stage all evidence even went missing from town planning. It is really sad that we are not getting any solid help from anyone.
Anton 27/09/2016 at 8:55 pm
The things with complaints is they go on and on and you get no where plus the timescales are to interfere and prevent victims from making complaints.

Get a Queens Bench Claim form and make a claim against each Individual officer.

soon as they interfere, it's a trespass, soon as they touch you, it's assault/battery,

if they fail to do there duty,.let's not forget there main duty under common law is to protect man and property, if they fail then it's breach of duty or negligence,

if they transport you from point A to point B it's kidnapping, you also have misconduct which could affect the officers job

If your being taken advantage of due to vulnerability they get paid to safeguard, they must show due regard towards disability under Equality Act 2010 if they fail is disability discrimination

Let's not forget this

Criminal Justice Act 1988 section 134 Torture

Where if any official intentionally inflicts mental suffering upon another person acting in official roll they commit the offence of torture in which the penalty for such a crime is life in prison

Always get there numbers and take notes soon as its happened just incase you make a claim which will enable you to be able to hold that person to account for his actions

If your constantly being abused get educated in common law look for the name Karl Lentz listen to his clips about legal and lawful as your not a legal person if you learn a lot you will be able to understand you don't have to abide with legislation it's really worth looking in to this to protect yourself

I feel for all who are being abused by abuse of power just remember you can hold them liable for there wrongdoing in court then they will think again

PS timescales they can always extend timescales what happens if your not well enough and most cases you have 6 years unless its serious like me who has a brain. Injury leaving me disabled I am out of time but I got a bloody good reason why its late

Be lucky

I am age 75 and a layperson not married and live on my own vunerable and l am a victim of fraud theft of my property through a consent order l never received or agreed or much less signed relinquishing all my right to the title of my home and giving it away to someone not entitled who now lives in it. I ACCUSE - the Birmingham court chancery division and some district judges and 4 Birmingham solicitor of concealment. conspiracy to defraud, collusion perverting the course of justice, submitting fraudulent misrepresentations, obtaining my property by deceit, all without making me aware. They deleted my name off the title deeds of my property, the court and land registry did not inform me ever. I have now discovered how it happened. I phoned 101 on the Monday to report the crime and they said they would get two officers to come to my house within 2 hours and take details. They reported me to the Mental health who called round. I opened the door and 3 men grabbed me and detained me throwing me against the wall of my house ripping my shirt breaking the clasp on my watch strapping me to a stretcher in daylight 6pm and bundling me in an ambulance and took me to the Queen Elizabeth hospital and took to a place of safty. I could not inform my family. They assessed me 8 hours at 2pm later for 8 mins and let go home. The police at Bournville phoned me the next day Tuesday and sent the ambulance again Wed and Thurs.. I did not answer the door. l was petrified. On the Friday my phone rang again Bournville police asking me-"Do you stilll need police help, to which l replied- "No l do not need police help thank you. I was asked to repeat it and l did" and they said okay and put the phone down. What can l do. Lost over £300,000. It is a Tyrannical regime not a Police Force. John Carroll.

I want to express my disgust at the treatment I have received by the police. I believe that the police have abused their power to manipulate the situation , close my case and sweep under an allegation which demonstrates how deeply embedded racism is within the police.

If you like to know about my whole case and help me to get justice done , please do not hesitate to contact me by email. Thank you for your time.

How can you make a complaint about an ongoing police investigation? Our complaints have been put on hold because the investigation is ongoing, but part of the complaint is that the time the investigation is taking is unreasonable. 13 months so far.

Hi Everyone
I am looking for information regarding Police Bail Forms to aid my studies.
If a person was to be released on Sec 34 (5) (a) unconditional bail to return to a Police Station on a specified date, which MG form (or other type of form) is printed from the PNC and given to the Person?
Thanks.

You would need professional legal assistance and medical evidence to take this further.

I had been in the state of simple partial seizure whereby you are not aware of what happened or are not of sound mind at that time, however you are not classes as having a mental health disability but have the signs and symptoms of someone who is due to the fact that the physical effects upon the brain of the seizure have the signs and symptoms of someone who is, after the seizure you remember what happenes whilst in the seizure sometimes minutes, days, weeks, months and years later. At the latest time i was trying to report a crime within Durham city and the police did nothing to take note of it, i was in a state of stress without the help required by the police, i was asked to leave and started doing so, as i was leaving the officer who asked me to leave told two officers to grab me, i was doing as he asked and leaving so i stressed out even further and went into a state of seizure, whilst i was in that state of simple partial/complex partial seizure i carried out a self defence judo move and swept one of the officers to the ground, i turned to chuck another officer over my shoulder and at that point came out of seizure, i flattened my hands as if to say I'm not going to carry out any more moves and allowed 2 of the officers to take me down, as they took me down i said that i had been in a state of seizure at the comittal of taking the initial officer down and only did it as an automatic self defence move, and allowed them to restrain me, they then battered an epileptic persons head three times against the ground whilst he was in a position of being allowed to be restrained, and punched a restrained epileptic person three times in the ribs. I asked for those officers to be arrested for assault of a disabled person as i was allowing myself to be restrained and was told that the officers would not be arrested as they were finishing in 5 minutes and had families to go home to. I do not trust the IPCC for Durham as he used to be a police officer ..and when i have shown notes to labour mps of Durham with regardd to previous offences committed by police within Durham i have been told that they have been lost, or she has taken my phone away and come back and said text messages have been deleted by accident . How do i go about getting gis matter investigated as courts state that only police can bring a criminal matter to court and all police are bent within the county of Durham, and the IPCC used to be a police officer so he is clearly not independent and i get no help ...

Hi how do I stand if I have a mental health condition that is a disadvantage to formatting a complaint and understanding time scales what is the police actions have caused time limitations to exceed by failing to properly investigate crimes

Some which have limitations.
And one that does not perverting the course of justice which I have been trying to have properly investigated for 11yrs
Only to find that the police have been responsible for the Crimes not being procecuted.

My Name is Thomas Moorehouse. I was arrested on the 8 May 2015 due to a EFIT image that was passed around the police force by a young girl that was held up and burglared in Slough, I was arrested nearly 70 miles away in Guildford. I was brought to Maidenhead police station were they interviewed me. When interviewed they showed me a efit they made themselves of me, I got really scared because I knew I never done this crime my heart jumped. They then Put me in a id viper parade and said the victim picked me out. My Whole life ended that day, they then charged me and put me to court where I was later put to prison for three months. I was scared for my life.Three days before they had to put there evidence to court they dropped there case and let me go. After release I put the crime into Google and guess THE EFIT THEY SHOWED ME WAS NOT THE EFIT THE VICTIM DONE I found it on crime stoppers. I was arrested on complete corruption how can this be aloud in 2016 I nearly killed myself in prison my hole life has changed the way I look at things. My name was put on loads different news sites. Everywhere I go I'm scared to look at the police, every time I hear a siren my heart jumps. The police officer was Helen Bentley from Slough Cid. She laughed at me in court. She must have done some sort of deal with my Solictor Adam James from Goodall Barrett James Solictors Horley Surrey because he kept trying scare me to plead guilty and he now knows the police showed me a different EFIT and he won't do anything about it. I can't get on with my life until those responsible are dealt with.

If you're unhappy about the way the police have handled the case, you could consider complaining to the IPCC . If you feel unsafe, please do go back to the police and also consider asking a family member or friend to accompany you etc.
mary 17/07/2016 at 1:11 pm
The end of the story is that the police have dropped the case. They have not used an independent witness and they have not interviewed the people who came out and saw my distress and heard the lies she was telling. This is a small village and most people know me.
Both her and her partner have been outside with their video camera laughing and joking.
I am so frightened and don't know where to turn. Please is there anything I can do?

I have never been in dispute with my neighbour and have paid for damage to my boundary wall myself. The damage was caused by very large vehicles ie. skips,etc.going to my neighbours property. As a pensioner I couldn't keep doing this and so approached my insurance company. They asked me to photograph events as they happened and to forward them. This situation started earlier this year.
Another skip vehicle arrived and made contact with my boundary wall. I went out to look and found that my neighbour was standing there with her daughter.
I smiled and said hello. She did not speak.
The skip driver managed to reverse down the lane and my neighbour said " That was very well done wasn't it?" She became more aggressive and kept repeating this.
I felt that it was best not to get into a conversation and so turned to get back onto my property. She prevented this and started to become threatening.
when I tried to get away from her she stepped in front of me.
I was very frightened and walked away towards another neighbours back gate, so that I could escape. She was behind me and suddenly I was pushed very hard in the back and l fell against the wall. I hurt my arm and it was bleeding. I was terrified. Again I walked forward and she then put her foot up on the wall and forced her knee into my stomach. I eventually managed to stand up straight and walked forward again.
My only thought was to get to a neighbour and as I continued along a very narrow footpath she grabbed my hair from behind and dragged me to the floor. I screamed and screamed. She was threatening me through out.
Just when I felt that I was going to die, she let go of my hair. I got up and walked to the end of the path. some people came out of the bungalows. She changed her voice and told the people that I had forgotten to take my tablets and that I had been let out of hospital too soon again. She turned to me and said, "you've been taking photos inside my house and I've told you it's not safe" She then held her phone out and said she was calling an ambulance. I was in a state. shaking, crying and terrified. A lady stepped foreward and took my hand. She asked me where I lived and told me I was safe and that she would walk me home. I do not take tablets and I have not been in hospital.
I got in the house and broke my heart. I didn't want to call my two sons as they were many miles away working. I called 999.
Details were taken and at the request of the person who took my call I did contact my sons. I also rang a friend and they came and sat with me.
My family arrived and we waited a considerable time for the police.
I made my statement and my injuries were photographed.
The police said she would be arrested.
She was not arrested but went to the police station the following day with her daughter.
That same day my local village shop offered to bring anything I might need up to the house. They were concerned for me and I have to say that I broke down on the phone and coul

This is the third time I have posted on here. The last two seem to have been deleted by moderators or something.

I was given threats of harm and death by my ex girlfriend. I recorded the conversation and played it to the police who did absolutely nothing. Some three months later I was assaulted in my own house by her new partner. I sustained a nasty gash to my head in the assault. This was also reported to the police who did nothing only to arrest me for harassment.

I can only wonder if this has anything to do with her paternal father being MI6 and her step dad used to be the assistant chief constable of Gmp.

Hi. My partner and I went to deliver a sofa and we were beaten up.. The police were called and they said it was a 'civil matter' and they had no time... The aggressors ran away after beating us up.
ubermers 14/06/2016 at 3:26 pm
I have been under police surviellence for many years, but instead of clearing up, it is gettibng worse. I have done nothing either immoral or illegal. Yet my phone and email are tapped and even the post office has been told to stop anything I send. Many books never reached their destination. I even recognized someone who had been following me, in the Post Office.The most recent harrassment was when I had an appointment with the dentist, by phone. As I was walking to the dentist a police van slowly passed me the same way. It must have contacted dentist to say that IT WAS ME that was coming, and my teeth were badly treated. I immediately went to another dentsit, but had to make further appointment, so that dentist too was 'got at' and I even heard him saying to his assistent as I was waiting as the next patient 'I don't want any comeback", etc. He didn't know I overheard. But I coudn't feel I could trust him either. He first wished to pull my tooth then accepted my request to fill it. It was a firm enough tooth, so much so that I even suggested that he could fill it without anaesthetic. The break was all above the gum.I even suspected that my previous dentist had put a microchip in another tooth which they left with a temporary filling. He filled tooth without anesthetic as suggested, but it soon cracked at the top and enamal (tooth materia) this time came off, leaving the filling. I went to another dentist, but this time, asked for my previous dentist, I refused to say. But I was followed to this dentist and I AM SURE his assistent was a police assistent. I am also sure that they made my treeth worse. Both have fallen out now (after only a few months). Now this is harassment, even torture, by the police state we now seem to live in. I don't know what I can do and can only suspect the cause of it. Much too convoluted to write all here. They even got to one of my 'friends' who asked me out and was wired!

Dear Civil Rights
I have a complaint regarding a police officer who has incriminated me in his report to the CPS, in his MG 5 report that I didn't see before sending it to the CPS he signed the declaration and his Sgt signed it off saying/confirming they have been Balanced and Fair gathering ALL information for the Defence, this is Not correct and I have been convicted
There is history to my case and as Steve says here if you make a complaint about a officer the PSD will pursue you at all cost and arrest you, in 2007 I upheld my Right to File a complaint regarding another officer and have paid the price, have a black mark against my name
I have just filed a complaint to PSD involving the officer who failed to do his investigation properly
please help as I have been wrongly convicted by a corrupt police officer
steve1456 22/05/2016 at 10:05 am
I have a no of very serious complaints against the police but if you complain they will use their rights to bully the population and the complainant to full! My advice never complain they will persue anyone who puts in a complaint with vigor!!
Zee 14/05/2016 at 8:39 pm
I made a complaint of serious police corruption to IPCC, I also complained of corrupt investigations into complaints by PSD I offered to provide the IPCC with all THE DOCUMENTED PROOF, this damning evidence was compiled by the police and the PSD themselves and can prove my allegations 100%. I was effectively told they couldn't do anything about it and to refere my complaint to the PSD even though the complaint involved the PSD. I told the IPCC in no uncertain terms that their role was to investigate serious police complaints. They refused point blank and didn't even want to see the documentation which proved beyond doubt everything from forged documents to serious fraud counter mounting to hundreds of thousands of pounds by the chief constable. Surely this is a case that proves beyond all reasonable doubt that the IPCC are a waste of space and cherry pick only those cases that suit them unless it relates to a death and when taking all the above into consideration how can anyone expect them to thoroughly and impartially investigate those matters?
Stillstanding 28/03/2016 at 2:30 pm
Very alarming comments but now I am thinking what yes doing IPCC.....been harassed by police detectives operating in private . Have proof !!!! One kicked the door in Dec 2013....accusing me of something I did not do .Relatives I'm involved in litigation ...with said if they don't get 400.000 pounds they would get a police investigation into me . I made complaint regarding the lone detective. He lied ...I have a witness ...he pushed his way into home saw the friend in the kitchen and ran out . I had to attend police station....gave evidence willingly ...but when I questioned the detective he said he had not behaved that way....the harassment continued into mid 2014...threats of arrest ...his superior detective above him making frequent itimidating calls . Complaints led nowhere ...all went quiet until Feb 2016....I was arrested on the trumped up lie by.relatives ....put in solitary for 25 hours by police no food !!! Collapsed twice taken to hospital second time ...intimidated questioning ...awful....police lie .....full stop....and have begun to operate in the private .. 6 police officers while I was locked up declared my home a fire risk threw out an elderly guest .. I was told can't go back to my home !!!!!
Been informed by solicitors ...I've had false eviction...false arrest ....the 6 officers that seized the home are not on the system...so I have to find out who they are ...why are we all putting up with it in 21st century UK.....they are running amok with no enforcement! !!!!!

On 11 September 2015 I was accused multiple times by a former landlord of vandalizing a fixture in part of the household and each time I stated that I had not done any such thing. Not satisfied, he called the police and shortly after I was arrested for criminal damage and subsequently taken to and held in a police cell for approximately 14 hours, during which time certain officers took the proverbial 'bloody p**s' as far as I'm concerned.
Eventually, however, all charges were dropped and I was released, etc, etc. All well and good then, one would think. No! It was not! My former landlord should have been arrested for wasting police time for jumping to conclusions and or the arresting officers should have been at least cautioned for wrongful arrest. Neither has happened. I also wasn't told the exact reason as to why the charges were dropped; as to why the matter wasn't taken to court. I suspect it was because the officers dealing with the matter knew I would win the case; that I could end up getting damages from my former landlord - and this they did not want. They did not want me to win! Why? I have no doubt that many officers of the police authority concerned have some thing against me, because I often am in the habit of calling a spade a spade. Anyway, this is my story. I've not contacted the IPCC because in my experience all they do is refer the matter to the so-called 'Professional Standards Division' of the police authority concerned, who of course will simply 'stick-up' for the officers involved...

My home was searched by police officers last November. They had a warrant for someone who no longer lives here and hasn't since months prior to the issuance of the warrant. After the search I realised that something was missing from my home. I made a complaint within minutes of me realising this. When the officers all entered my home I was told that the search was being filmed. Once I was visited by the IPCC lady I was told that the officer in question had his camera switched off. Now I'm being told he wasn't wearing one. I know for a fact he was wearing one. I feel like I'm being railroaded and I need help! I cannot afford a solicitor and I can't just walk away from this.
Radio-Head_Nunny 30/01/2016 at 10:47 pm
Please read this before it is is too late for me and, who knows, others who are subject to what I am about to report to you once again.
I am being subjected to constant harassment by means of what my research suggests is V2K (Voice to Skull) and/or RNM (Remote Neural Monitoring) technology. There is constant and varying buzzing and other noises (helicopters, steam trains, football crowds, anything you can think of added at will) in my head that no one else can hear. I can hear little else. The noise goes on 24/7, so obviously I do not sleep well, if at all. Day to day living has become impossible. There is also 'transmitted' speech, through which the perpetrators have have repeatedly threatened, promised to deafen, blind, cripple and even kill me. Believe me, they have tried, and have thoroughly enjoyed the very real pain that they have knowingly caused me. Every thought, every notion, every emotion, is repeated back to me, and almost certainly recorded. The technology enables 'users' to cause serious disorienting symptoms on targets, resulting in my having experienced serious fit-like symptoms that ended on one occasion with me in hospital as a result of physical injuries that I sustained in the attack. My thoughts are constantly 'read' back to me as I make them, adding to the already debilitating confusion. I am not safe when out on the streets, being particularly vulnerable when crossing, or being near to, roads, a favoured point to have fit symptoms initiated.
The perpetrators have identified themselves as being from the EDF, the EDL, the National Front, the NCA, and a whole bevvy of groups that I have never heard of. They even occasionally claim to be members of one or other police forces, but then swiftly deny that this is the case....quote: "We are the police....no, we're not the police but we work for the police"
I have reported this to police at the front desk of the Nuneaton station, where I was effectively told to bugger off, no record having been made of my concerns. I have even called police to my home address. They obviously thought that I was mad, and recommended I consult my doctor. No help there then. I have had three detailed brain scans run, no doubt at considerable public expense, and no problem has been found.
I have given this a whole load of thought, all of which I suspect has been modified and monitored by the still unknown vile perpetrators. I had believed that only security forces would have ready access to such equipment. Then again, who knows, with what is possible these days. I would also have hoped that its use would be strictly controlled; maybe this is not possible.
My email and internet accounts are also under attack, with my connection becoming so slow as to be nearly useless. Passwords to sites and correspondence to them have been disruped, edited and sometimes even deleted. Important personal files have been deleted also.
I've always had high regard for the British police, even though I hav

Arnold 25/01/2016 at 11:47 am
A long description for a few short questions: please, open your mind!
Over four years ago I became aware of voices around my flat. They were threatening to kill me, put my windows through, cause other damage, on a daily basis. I called the police, who called round and assured me that there was no one there. The voices, however, continued. I began to think that I was going mad. Subsequent medical tests at large expense to the NHS have proved that this is probably a long way from the truth.Tinnitus-like noises began to constantly accompany the now increasingly hostile voices, who assure me that I will be physically harmed, if not killed, and to be on the look-out at all times. I'm atheist, but did start to wonder if some 'greater force' may be operating in me. I turned to the web for help, and discovered a technology that some have called 'the voice of god'. Probing further, I came across references to two seemingly related technologies. These are:
i) Voice to Skull (V2K for short) It can place any and multiple sounds, including voices, unheard by anyone else, into the head of the Targeted Individual. It looks feasible. Patents have been around for more than fifty years for such ideas.
ii) Remote Neural Monitoring (RNM for short) Along with V2K capabilities, it can read thoughts, modify thoughts, distort vision, cause pain, muscle spasms, alter physical perceptions (sight sound smell etc.) Operatives can see through the eyes of the targeted individual. To me it sounds less feasible, but not without its possibilities. Again patents have existed.
Since making these discoveries, the attacks on me have intensified in duration and hostility to the point of being constant stream of noise, insults, threats and 'recommendations'. Remember, only I can here them. I am now living without sleep, 'their' idea, and am rapidly losing all coordination and self-worth.
As to ownership/stewardship of such technology, I can only think that access would be strictly controlled and very limited to security forces and high level police (NCA, anti terror etc.). It could be a very effective weapon of terror in 'the wrong hands'.
My questions:
Does this technology exist? If so:
Who has access to it?
Do our police force have access to it? (What price an emergent police state?)
Under what circumstances are they allowed to use it?
Is total sleep deprivation allowed under any circumstances?
Are physical assaults using its capabilities allowed (Yes, it has happened!) ?
What side effects are there to continued exposure to this rf technology?
It's worth mentioning that I have yet to see anyone from any authority in connection with any of the accusations, threats and 'promises' made to me throughout this ordeal.
Like I said, open your mind!
Any helpful comment gratefully received..
caramel 20/01/2016 at 10:16 pm
The IPCC dont take any complant seriously unless it involves death. They put you through to the force you are complaining about. If that station only has four officers, then you try complaining! They are all massaging each others backs. My son was on a straight road and a police officers wife pulled out of a junction squashing him into two other cars. Five cars arrived in 6 minutes and guess who was given a notice?? She wasn't even breathalyzed. Fortunately for us they all had an IQ of below 10, they were so intent on dragging my son out of his squashed car they didn't notice the camera on the garage opposite. Recorded two hours of the whole event. All we can do his wait for a court case now. They are supposed to protect the public, they protect their own!

Be careful of the IPCC my friend just got his caution removed it took him 50 weeks to do this and he did it himself.

With regards to the IPCC which he contacted they are bigger liars than the Police his report was full of lies and was total fiction, in one instant they told him that a police officer tried to rectify and correct his statement to my friends employer when my friend contacted his employer he was told that they had no knowledge of this he return to the IPCC where he was offer an apology as they confirmed this never happen,he still trying to get the IPCC to talk to him but they are all covering up this massive massive lie and refuse to reply to any of his email. Shocking behaviour from a government backed independent body be careful of these cowboys I've seen how they work and its all for the Police'

Just read a newspaper reporting a police officer making sexual contact to domestic violence victims apparently the police investigated him for a couple of years after he committed one contact. They monitored him and watched him contact and commit further offences to lots more women. Why did the let him carry on surely he should have been stopped at the earliest opportunity to prevent the other victims been caught up in this matter . Police don't care about victims it's obvious they should have prevented this at the earliest opportunity and nipped it in the bud . Poor by the police

Lawnmower 29/12/2015 at 7:28 pm
When will you people understand that the police complaints procedure is never going to do any good? Forget it, it's designed to help the police not you. Instead, find a solicitor that does work on a no win no fee basis that specialises in suing police for wrongs. They are out there and they will act if you have evidence. Please do not keep suggesting people, use the police complaints procedure. The police investigate their own complaints they will not find against other officers unless they have absolutely no choice. The IPCC will ONLY become involved if there is a breach of process, other than that the police decide their own complaints results so the procedure itself is not fit for purpose.

Fed up with TIDWORTH police in Wiltshire harassing and abusing my son. It started when I complained about the piece of crap they call a police officer for wrongly arresting me when two men tried to force their way into my house. PC Bunt liar and harasser let the now convicted paedophile get away to damage my property while I was under his arrest. This bully in uniform has ego issues and has never stopped harassing my family since then. He constantly picks on my son who has learning disabilities. He is an abuser of children with special needs. The complaints procedure is a complete fass. Complaints are dissolved by their professional standards to make them look good. The crime commissioner is like the police lap dog, he does what he is told. Well I am considering bringing a ruthless media campaign against Wiltshire police for child abuse. It appears that the police in Wiltshire can perpetrate abuse on children and never be brought to account. In fact the crime commissioner for Wiltshire stated on local media recently he is responsible for police accountability. It's a pity he is as dishonest as they are, dammed liar. I will be clapping my hands the next time one of them dies in agony. I so hope its PC Bunt the child abuser that cops it next.

I was stalked, harrassed by people engaged by someone I dated. Myself, family & friends received nails in their car tyres. My car was frequently broken into, myself and my young children were followed, taunted & abused by strangers. I reported this repeatedly to police in a very distressed state. Police did nothing. After so much car vandalism I ended up (inexplicably) crashing into an electricity pylon. It was attempted murder. By some miracle I survived. My phones, laptops, social media accounts, emails were repeatedly hacked by this man and I ceased receiving any communications from friends until i became totally isolated. When I complained police took my phones & laptop but never once spoke to the man I accuse. I complained to IPCC & oplice standards. The outcome was unsatisfactory. I was then harrassed repeatedly by police who would follow me and park outside my house at night with their engines running. All this time the man who was the casue of my problems was left to go about his business. To this day I received abuse not justice from the police. I have been advised they broke the law by taking my phones & discrimminated against me beucase hte man I accuse is high status. I really want some legal advise. I have a strong case against the police but struggling on my own. Can anyone help?

i had my phone taken by thames valley police on the 13th december 2015 when i was only a visitor they also did not have a search warrant! i told them they can not take my phone as i suffer from mental health issues but they ignored this!. I am still trying to get my phone back! my poor friend who they arrested wrongly is trying to get his phone back too! he has lost 2 jobs in a week due to this as he is self employed!. i just need my contact list so i feel safe again as i suffer from bipolor and personalty disorder and have tried to kill myself twice. no one at the aylesbury police station is listening to me and i am getting my anixety back real bad now and it is like they dont care!. i want to sue them for the suffering they are causing me with all the distress. i live in a womens refudge also which makes it worse as i have no contacts with my key workers if i am not there. i feel alone and feel very emontional and need answers.

The police seized my pedigree not dangerous breed puppy from the dogwalker as he pulled the puppy and said it was abusing the dog... we have had no contact from the police in 72 hours, despite numerous calls to them and not been given a crime reference number... what are my rights? Are the police covering this up?

If what you say is true, then you will be able to state your case in court; any "guess work" that the police use, should also become clear in the court process.

I feel I will be making a police complaint soon.

In short I was arrested for something I haven't done. Before the arrest I stated the evidence that proves I am innocent. They never bothered to follow this up though.

They are trying to prosecute me based on guess work and by looking at evidence the way they want to see it, not the way it actually is.

Because of them ignoring evidence that proves I'm innocent, I have been bailed for quite some time. This has caused a big lack of earnings and I have had to get into debt in order to pay bills and put some towards rent.

I haven't been in trouble with the police before so this bail time is really causing me problems with my health too.

Myself and my family have been subjected to 2 years of abuse by neighbours,but recently things have become much more serious we have had death threats my car window smashed police just say no evidence, yet there are 8 other family's also threatening my family,the police always side with the people causing the problem I have 4 children 2 disabled one of my daughters has had to move in with her nan as she's terrified,there are 2 drug dealing family's involved with the constant death threats yet this seems to be perfectly fine according to the police, today I had a meeting with the police and my housing officer and was told my son had sent a message to one of the abusers claiming we are causing trouble so we can move, I was shocked by this we have a mountain of logs to police messages from the abusers,but because they claim my son wrote a comment the police claim we are the ones causing all the trouble and said no further action is to be taken and closed the case. My wife sobbed we live in our home like we are in prison we keep all the curtains closed we only leave the house by getting in the car my children can not play outside,my daughter had to move out she's 13 and disabled police have never made any effort we agreed mediation the other family's refused we are living in fear we found out some of the family's have police officers in the family and this is another reason police have brushed all this off. This is our lives and we live in fear with no help or support from those who should protect you ,(what now!!!!!!!!)

She has admitted to people around her that what she has done with us and also said will keep doing it what can we do?

i can't argue with anything being said by anyone on this site, the police force of this country is one of the most bent in the world today. Fenland police where called to a house where an old lady was murdered. At the time time the case was not treated as a murder but only after allowing the family in to destroy all forensic evidence available to date nearly 18 months on the killer has not been found or caught. Following a failure of duty by the officer to the PSD, the in house investigation or as referred to local resolution found no action to be taken against the officers, only some additional training to be under taken. One officer was even promoted to the rank of SGT we here. At the same time the IPCC are about as much use as a chocolate soldier backing the force. Fenland police also fail to investigate fraudulent mortgages even when they have a fraudulent signature on a title deed LOCAL RESOLUTION local resolution on this followed by a complaint to the PSA find s no case to answer by the police buy to let/let to buy mortgage is one of the biggest frauds today yet the mortgage advisors, mortgage companies and solictors are getting away with breaking the law and the police are protecting them. It would appear this whole situation is corrupt and the police are getting away with it like the rest.

around 9 years ago i was stopped by the police, and told a vehicle with my van number plates was used in a robbery,i had to prove where i was at that time, and since then my life periodically has become hell, with police vehicles i encounter on my journeys sirens and blue lights that leave me feeling dizzy the next morning for around the first 3 hours of getting up, there has been a lot more horrible experiences that are for me very upsetting for me . ive done nothing wrong ,please can any one help. me. regards gary burrows

A lady made fales accusations(high very criminals offences) against me. When i whent to the police station i was shouting at them as they should see that eveythings proving it's 100% fales. They let me go strait away after the interview. Since 8 months i am on bail but i am free like a bird as i am traveling in different countries without any one stoping me. With those accusations i should be in prison if they have some litle douts i can be guilty.
In fact they are protecting the lady because i am muslim and she is a blonde christian with blue eyes. Now the police officers are criminals and breaching my humain rights, they are extremly sick as the cannot find somthing wrong in my whole life!. If we follow proprely the uk law, this lady should be in prion and many officers should go in prisons as they are 100% sure i am totaly innocent. Anyone who has a look at my case c will see in few minutes that i am 100% innocent and will be extremly astonish about this situation, the most disgusting police officers ever lived on this planete.
Police hate minoriti 18/07/2015 at 8:27 am
Sir Adrian Leppard

I am not guilty of Assault on Constable in the execution of his/her duty, according to section 89(1) Police Act 1996
I believe that an offence as such is committed when a person assaults
a constable acting in the execution of his/her duty; or a person assisting a constable in the execution of his/her duty intending to cause harm or injury.
I also believe that police constable Espisito and police constable cockshull were not acting within their duties when they neglected my allegation of assault but decided to detained only me and allow the person who had assaulted me walk free and flee the scene of the crime. In order to prevent the loss of evidence they should have detained everyone involved and establish the truth.

I also believe in order for the police constables to be deemed to be acting fairly without partiality or racial motives It was necessary under section 117 pace 1984 for them to detain the person who had assaulted me.
Their actions were biased and were racially motivated as they tolerated the inhumane treatment of another person. They concluded that being assaulted and evidence from me bleeding not worth investigating, yet an accusation of attempt robbery worth investigation.

I have been a police special constable myself and I know from my experiences as former police special constable that under metropolitan police service standard of professionalism code of conduct under equality and diversity it states;

Code "1.26. Police officers act with fairness and impartiality. They do not discriminate unlawfully or unfairly.

Police constable Joseph Espisito and police constable Caroline cockshull were biased by assuming I was guilty of robbery and not protecting me when I made allegation of assault, therefore were not acting within the code of conduct but making assumptions instead of exercising their duty within the code of conduct.


Code 1.22 Police officers do not, under any circumstances inflict, instigate or tolerate any act of inhuman or degrading treatment (as enshrined in Article 3 of the European Convention of Human Rights).
The fact that I was assaulted and my allegation were not taken into account or deemed worth investigating confirms that the two police constable In question tolerated this inhumane treatment and deemed it reasonable within human rights for me to be punched, it is not their place to make such a decision.

Code 1.20 In exercising their duties, police officers never abuse their authority or the powers entrusted to them. Police officers are well placed to protect the human rights of individuals and groups within society. They have been given important powers and responsibilities due to the complex and difficult situations they deal with. The public have the right to expect that such powers are used professionally.

I am a victim of such discrimination. when the two police officers firstly spoke to me and I calmly informed that I had been assaulted by the white man wea

I was grabbed round the throat by a chief officer of pembrokeshire police and my autistic son was held at gunpoint for 26 hours All this after being savagely attacked by a thug from the landlord . my son was unarmed and because of his autism and being beaten up was behaving erratic and the police dealt with it by threatening him with many guns pointed at him .They would not let me calm him and he was very traumatised .They knew of my sons condition and used him as a gun exercise . Some of the officers were rude and behaved like bullies their reports state they were unaware i was there well who was screaming "don't shoot him" when i heard officers next to me ( i refused to leave the scene) saying i've got a shot shall i take it . I am still as is my son very traumatised by the whole incident My son and I are both disabled and the way we've treated by pembrokeshire police is disgusting . I couldn't keep quiet anymore as i've just received the ipcc report that looks like its been written by a six year old and I am appealing again . Three years of fighting for justice Thanks for the stress heres to the next three . funny how the officer who had no numbers and refused to give his name was the one who assaulted me,I've had three years to do my own research and I have found you and i'm aware of cctv footage which will have the man running away from the flat where he assaulted us you never even tried to look for him yet you mention in your badly writ report that you have me on cctv leaving the flat to ring you after the attack .You never did even question the landlords family member even though we knew it was him. I have lost faith in your police and your companies that are supposed to look into bad behaviour of the police .
RT 04/07/2015 at 9:21 pm
The PSD is a joke...all they do is delay the complaint until the time limit for suing the police via a civil rights solicitor has expired...if you sent them a live recording to prove the misconduct ....I have.... they will refuse to consider it as evidence as only the police are allowed to bring their side You will need to ring the freedom of information office., who for 10 pounds will send you the actual police logs for your case ...check them yourself and if they are inconsistent with the officers claims then forward them on to a solicitor who specializes in this area. This will take it out of police hands . legal aid is available so search for a firm that will offer this.
Pru 22/06/2015 at 5:57 pm
Just when you think that you've heard it all ,the Met cops sink to a new low.Yesterday threats were made over the phone to me by an inspector at Bexleyheath station ,he also informed me that I would never get away "from us" ,he further stated that I had "invented " a son whom he alleges doesnt exist and cited me to be "a vile dirty " this that and the other....The behaviour of these cops seems to be related to a book of information that I have ,information relating to crooked cops an pimping by them.I WILL NOT be giving said item to the cops as I am sure that afterwards the book would vanish and possibly I myself would be disposed of.

If some one makes an allegation to the Police about me, do I have a legal right to be informed of the allegation, even if Im not told who made the allegation ?
justice4all 19/06/2015 at 1:07 pm
Though people do have the right to complain and should freely exercise that right, I'm afraid that experience shows that making a complaint about police conduct is often futile and a complete waste of time.

Having the police investigate themselves as a matter of the first stage in the complaints procedure is obviously a clear conflict of interest. Rarely if ever will you complaint be upheld, even when you have clear evidence in a case of misconduct against the police.

They will often take longer than is necessary to reply to each stage of the complaint or investigate. More often than not they try to resolve the matter informally with a local resolution, even you ask for the matter to be investigated formally and recoded. And the IPCC are no better.

In all respects your complaint against the police is unlikely to come to a satisfactory conclusion. You will be continuously frustrated when coming up against one barrier after another, or completely ignored when you have obviously done your research and followed correct procedure or presented clear evidence of wrong doing.

Vexatious and spurious are the go to comments for when an officer can find no other justification's or sound reasoning not to uphold your continued complaint when addressing their obviously dubvious handling of a so called investigation.

The police complaints procedure and the IPCC are clearly not fit for purpose. There is often a clear conflict of interest and institutional bias. In almost all cases complaints against the police are not upheld. Something needs to be done.

I gave a statement and signed it , the police officer never made me aware of my rights as a witness , I wasn't asked to read before signing or given the option of him reading it to me. I wasn't informed of my rights . This statement could be exaggerated for all I know

I was falsely accused by the Essex police.When the allegations were proved false by CPS.I complained to IPCC.who adviced PSD to register my complaint.The PSD were forced to register my complaint.but there are various loopholes in the police reform act and the PSD department is trying its best to put it below the carpet. I see no other option except a judicial review.I don't know who can help.with recommending a good lawyer ECT.Any help will be appreciated.

Did a Statement with a Foreign Police Force (EU) it's been 2 weeks since this was done and sent to a Police Force in the UK. The Statement was in regards to Historical Abuse. One of the Abusers is still alive but has some pulling power with the Police and 'Friends' I honestly believe they will sweep this under the carpet or twist it around as we all know they are good at it. Any advice to put pressure on lazy Police Officers?????
me 08/05/2015 at 2:50 pm
If the police cant solve low level crime and just chuck out crime reference numbers for the insurance claim,and they cant solve high level crime because they come out with the old chesnut about asking the community for their help because they havent a clue themselves,then you really have to ask what is the point of them? They just exist as enforcers to the government,they are a waste of tax payers money and they exist only to abuse civilians,...,we cant all be wrong and ask yourselves this question,.....why is there brothels( massage parlours) on every high street in britain? Because thr police take backhanders ,thats why,totally corrupt institution.
Unjustin 19/04/2015 at 11:36 am
I recently went for a drink with a friend and his disabled girlfriend, we went first to a wetherspoons where i had 2 maybe 3 pints, we then went across the road to a pub/club where i had a further 2 pints and 2 double brandys, this amount of alcohol is in no way unusual for a night out for myself. My friend and his girlfriend left so i decided to stay, i noticed drug dealing going on and being a past drug dealer myself and a little drunk, i mentioned to one of them that 'they had it proper boxed off in there', the guy looked uneasy and next thing i know im being ejected by two doormen into the waiting arms of 2 policemen who immediately put their hands on me and attempted to restrain me. As not one person was listening to a word i was saying, i refused to let the police restrain me or put me in handcuffs which resulted in a struggle which ended up me on the floor in cuffs, the two policeman then bowed my head and reigned blows to my face and were making remarks that only two cowardly thugs would make while i was incapacitated. The next day i was released on bail charged with police assault for allegedly trying to bite one of the officers fingers when i distinctly remember one of them forcing his finger in my mouth which i thought strange at the time and only twigged when the officers gloves became supposed evidence. The officers also claim i was ejected for sexually assaulting a girl inside the bar which is completely and utterly out of character for myself as im quite shy around women even in drink which confirmed to myself that these were two corrupt officers that had gone too far and would say anything to paint a bad picture of me to save themselves. I now have a trial in july and to say i dont need this at present is the ultimate understatement. These appointed men and women are supposed to prevent incidents such as this, and from my experience, they were working with the doormen to hit their nights arrest wee quoter while just goal hanging outside the club... Justice??.. lawful behaviour??, where i ask?
JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS 17/04/2015 at 7:30 pm
I have had anti social behaviour from a neighbour for the past two years. We as residents have stuck together through it all. mostly for my sake as it has bought me to a break down. I am so lucky and appreciate all of the support my neighbours have and are giving me.Other residents are affected by the behaviour too. We have had meetings with the police, who are called out regularly on mostly a weekly basis. We have involved our local mp who has been marvellous but, we still do not get any end to the night mare. They have human rights on their side. It is ruining lives on a daily basis yet the innocent victims of this scenario do not have our human rights apparently as it is still on going. I have virtually given up ringing the police when it kicks off as nothing gets done. We just have to 'put up with and live with the horrendous scenario that has become our way of living' it is disgusting and it should'nt be allowed to continue.
Pensioner 12/04/2015 at 11:42 am
I wish t comment on Bill's of 20.8.2014 - what is it with the Police nowadays - I feel every sympathy for him. I was in a similar position -I am abused, threatened, assaulted,and still the police take no action - this is over 3+ year period by a family next door - and now my CICA claim has been denited because of what the police have stated - which is not true - as they avoided dealing with my assault in the first place - why is this - why are Victims being ignored? Why are they treat6ed as if they are the perpetrators?

If I appeal against this outcome it opens up the can of worms about how the police did not handle it correctly - and the emotional effect it had and still has on me. Who is there out there to deal with these issues. I feel totally undermined, ignored and not listened too - and very desperate at times. The police put this down to a neighbour dispute and not harassment even though my Victim support Office, Counsellor and GP and others all say it is but as they deny this I can fight my case until I collapse - I will be ignored.

I would really like someone out there to take this up. Even as of a month ago - the husband attempted to run me down on my own drive and when reported to 101 said they would get someone out here asap - when it reach my local police station - NOTHING happened - they are instructed (as per tel message of a PC) by the CI not to respond. Why - how can this be allowed? I am desperate to have justice.

My son now aged 15 suffered in excess of two hundred hate crimes, mostly physical assaults by his peers. Most of these offences reported to Wiltshire police who decided it was my sons own fault he was being attacked daily and they went on to do what ever they could to protect those we reported. This caused us to complain about Wiltshire police over a hundred times because it became very clear that they would not prosecute or even properly investigate anything we reported. The hate crimes got to the stage of part slashing our car and bike tyres, making personal threats to fire bomb us while the perpetrators published comments about how the police where backing them and watching their backs. Every time we reported a hate crime they encouraged the perpetrators to bring about counter allegations which were always investigated against him . They eventually convicted my son after messing his head up by giving him the clearest message, put up with it or face a conviction. I despise and hate these animals in uniforms that are known as Wiltshire police. They should be hanged for the crimes they perpetrated against us and my child, ruining his life to discredit him and his evidence. Child abusing scum they are !

CCTV show's the theives,the make,model,colour and its registration number as the theives steal tool's worth approx £1000,mobile phone worth £170 and money from our van.
The police took all details and explained what they would do adding that they would ring up later to get the mobile IMEI No.
After us having to contact the police in the evening they informed us the case had been closed due to lack of evidence ! They have'nt done a thing with the evidence that we had got by checking factory,garage & pub cctv.We also got a witness but the police did'nt speak to him.
I thought its part of the job for the police to get evidence to arrest and charge.
The mobile was mine,with the only pics of my little boy on it i hoped the police would catch the culprit's.Is this Rochdale Police serving & protecting ??

You might be able to help one of our service users who has sought advice from us.
Her long term partner was found dead in his bedsit. The Police investigation concluded to a sudden death - he collapsed and hit his head on the sink.

Partner is not satisfied of outcomes of investigation, as she says that at that time before his death he was asked several times money by a fellow who never re-appeared.

Client was not married with late partner but they had been together for 32 years.
She would like to know if there are any ways to contest / challenge a police investigation, as she is not happy about outcomes and has been living with doubts on the way he died.

Thanks in advance for your help.

police investigation which I put forward, does not seem right I know there are going to cover up as much as pos, even with the paper work and evidence, I take this serious as this is perverting the courts of justice, the police man the interviewed my wife told her if she does not make a statement against me he will take the kids off her plus loads more.

Myself and family have over the many years have experienced discrimination, intimidation and harassment e.c.t.. by the Avon and Sumerset Police, who have disregarded complaints of Child abuse, racism, death threats, violent assaults e.c.t.. However, my daughter has made many complaints, regarding my neighbors false allegations, that has led to no support or protection from the authorities. I believe that the police with my evidence, have shown nothing but lack of police investigations. On many occasions the Avon and Sumerset Police who i believe have committed serious misconducts. However, the Avon and Sumerset Police have a very poor and disappointing complaints system, due to the serious complaints made against the police, never going to trial or investigated, to show their disgraceful behaviour and crimes. The Justice System Is Being Abused
