Put a 24 Duty Solicitor slot into your life and stay cool.
It’s a good job all our police officers are in their early 20’s. Hopefullythey are not too fazed by the situations they have to attend too.
The police training course is all online from Hendon. Any public minded individual should maybe give it a go?

The day started with (let’s call him) Kev; the usual domestic violence following a believed infidelity. Cuts and bruses, but no statement of complaint from the victim. Calling the police was the extent of her intended cooperation. It removes Kev from the block for 24 plus hours and then keeps him on bail until no further action is taken

To Cheadle Hulme where my heart went out to poor Kaya from London. Found with 3 kilos of Cocaine in a suit case bought in Beat Street Kingston Jamacia, at Manchester Airport. Returning from a weeks holiday paid for by her step father (no name) who had collected her from London, driven her to Manchester Airport and collected her on her return, had she made it.

Kaya maintained and maintains she had no idea there were drugs in the suitcase and will present this to a Jury at Manchester Crown Court in 2025 or 26. She is in custody separated from her 2 year old child. Kaya is a single parent. She is 21 years old and was quietly spoken. She has worked in the care sector.

Back to Newton Heath where Ruben was 4 times over the legal alcohol limit for driving. He is a delivery driver, today, this day, is his sons birthday and he will lose his job, miss his son’s party and face a prison sentence. He cried. everyone went through the motions. The officers were sympathetic to him

Jack was ready to go later that day. Another no comment interview to an allegation of domestic violence with a complainant who has refused to make a statement but asked the police to intervene.

Finally a nameless full blown highly dangerous conspiracy theory holding rabbit hole dwelling racist. Arrested outside his south asian neighbours house, metal bar in hand. The house search found the axe behind the door, the rifle, pistol, cross bow, pepper spray and hunting knife in his (safe space) bedroom.

On arrest the language of replacement theory, civil war and riots were heard on body worn cameras. He was bailed subject to the counter terrorist unit seizing his computer. This will not end well.

Court the next day dealing with the mad and sad with the odd bad.
