Well, V7 and I have had a private chat and we've made up.
No point a misunderstanding getting out of hand, I think.
Xmas cards are now back in the pipeline and the BBQ in July is now back on as long as he brings good wine this time.

It's only the internet. FFS it's just people arguing, falling out or messing about.
Am I not allowed to reply to someone judging me because of the job I do and an interpretation that I'm heartless?
The only damage done is maybe V7 won't send me a chritmas card. All perceptions are internet based and mean nothing.

I'm really surprised at that attitude.Everything you (and others in the force/service) say always carries slightly more weight. And in THIS context too

Diesel.....
Again, it was tongue in cheek.
I don't think I have said anything here to inflame anything. The very reason I didn't get into a 'net fight'.

, and what part of the force do you work in. I think it may give people a better perspective of your role in the force and possibly your attitude. I guess a beat copper/desk Sgt is more likely to be in the line of fire from members of the public abuse wise, whereas other parts of the force are more likely to come across violent crims, and others speeding motorists, accidents etc.
imo dependant on role/area it will affect any policemans perspective and attitude (no just you, all police)
Although some of your points are valid it's the way you put them across, it does read as condescending and arrogant and you know the OP is wound up, you didn't do anything to extinguish that.
There's good and bad in parts of society, that includes the police. Like most people I have had good and bad experiences, but we'd be stuffed without them !
The only part of the force that would have interested me would be SOCO, certainly not cut out to be a policeman.
And if you could start knicking people for not indicating that would be great

I work in CID in central London. Won't say where for obvious reasons
3 years doing this and 3 years on the beat. The front line of policing isn't so dangerous as long as you speak to people properly; a skill many struggle with, unfortunately. Desk Sgts aren't front line....! They sit behind a desk!
I joined the police at 30 so had the advantage of a bit of life experience (12yrs RAF prior). If you wind someone up then they fight, so why bother? I treat people as I find and usually all's ok. People are people and make mistakes in life. Most people I deal with have just been unlucky and got caught!
I appreciate my posting style is dry which may seem condescending, but it's not meant that way. I have spoken with the OP and all cleared......
Oh..... and CID is front line, btw! Certain areas aren't, but not having the uniform on and getting into it is more dangerous than being in uniform in many cases. Just saying that before I get abuse from other police on here lol.

Exuse my ignorance but I assume front line to be a beat copper ?
Never saw too many of them in NW London, usually belting about in Astra's with the blues and twos in frll affect.
One reason we got out of there, couldn't put up with the constant sirens, although I had a theory that not every siren was on it's way to an incident, but just a cunning deterant to any would-be crims in the area.

Do you have a private police force? I thought they were paid by the local government.
I beg to differ the role of a police officer are made up of four parts not just the one you quoted ( or the "to serve and protect" americanism). The four points are:
- Maintain the Queen's peace
- Protection of life and property
- Prevention and detection of crime
- Prosecustion of offenders
In the case of the OP, he's ben nicked and cautioned due to his behaviour for "warning" the so called offender, so the OP has clearly fallen foul of "Protection of life" if he's threatening. Making threats, as the OP said he'd "sort it out himself" in an earlier post would to me think he's still committing offences. If it was down to me, I'd nick him under the Public Order Act sec 5

- Use threatening behaviour, abusive or insulting words, behaviour or disorderly behaviour; or
- Display any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting
within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harrassment, alarm or distress by such action.
Secondly, I'd hasten to add that if the person the OP had initially complained about, who then received a talk to from the OP, who again as the recipient judges of he has been on the recieving end of use threatening behaviour, abusive or insulting words, behaviour or disorderly behaviour, would be justified in making a complaint under section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986.
Arguably, a charge of Breach of Peace could be looked at:
Originally Posted by Breach of Peace

- Harm is actually done or is likely to be done to a person, or
- to a person's property in his presence, or
- a person is in fear of being harmed through: assault, affray, unlaful asembly, or other disturbance
Therefore I'd understand that the OP was taken in as the cops were fulfilling there duty to:
- Maintain the Queen's peace - they have reasonable grounds to believe a BoP has occurred.
- Protection of life and property - they are protecting the person/property pf the person being "talked to" by the OP
- Prevention and detection of crime - they are stopping the OP from taking the law into his own hands by;
- Prosecustion of offenders - using discretion and issuing a caution rather than prosecuting.
I am not expecting a Christmas/Valentine/Easter/Birthday card from the OP

You have now given V7whatshisface a bit more credibility for any new readers.
The post title set the tone, and in my uneducated opinion, should have been left to stand.
But you have the power, and an education so I will go and find a watch thread..good morning.

If on refelction he still thinks he's been treated badly he should make an official complaint. Just as you would with any other institution that you feel have let you down.
