Oh No, Mr Policeman!
Discussion
Slightly off topic.
Last year I was selling a house. The buyer's surveyor came round and when he had finished he asked if he could pop to the loo.
He was there ten minutes. Flushed, said goodbye.
There was a terrible stench from the bathroom. He'd had a massive dump.
I guess when you gotta go, you gotta go! A Pee can't wait but a s
t, unless it's liquid can.

I did say I find such stories amusing and where the source often is, but regardless I thought this one would and should prompt discussion - for the attitude of the shop assistant and also the policeman's situation.

If a copper knocked on my door busting for a piss, i'd let him in and make him a cuppa too. Don't the underappreciated sods have to put up with enough as it is?
Well, policemen are a little bit like vampires, in that they can't 'enter' without being invited (unless with a search warrant) and it's not been unknown for them to have a nosey round under the excuse of going to the toilet. I wouldn't let one in and leave them[1] to it unless I could see what they were up to. That's not from having anything to hide, that's just from not wanting them nosing through our stuff.[1] Er, a strange policeman who'd just turned up on the door that is, we're friends with 5 police officers (and another 3-ex officers), we'd let them use the toilet!

Bit difficult when they are out on street duty policing a public event.
No more difficult than making provision on small building sites. Presumably the event is annual; and there are similar events throughout the year in the area. therefore local facilities can be scouted and the officers briefed.wildcat45 said:

Additional 10 mins spent checking plumbing and bathroom ventillation. He should have added it on to his bill!!Last year I was selling a house. The buyer's surveyor came round and when he had finished he asked if he could pop to the loo.

Garages run by foreigners won't let you use their toilet facilities after you have filled up your car, I had put £110 in, asked to use the toilet to wash my hands from diesel and for a pee, he said we don't have one, I replied how do you manage then ? he replied its not for public use, ah so you do have one ? I popped around the back of the garage had to forego washing my hands though.
Okay, so you've all had your little digs and that's fine, I said I expected it. But it's probably worth me concluding my own contribution with a very reflective response from the originating site by someone else, also ex-police, who read the story. Quite a studious summary.
Here it is:
I've never been tempted to post a response to anything quite like this before but as you know, someone who spent near 30 years working alongside police officers at similar types of events, I have a few comments on this sad story.
Firstly, ask any copper about the drawbacks of policing big public events and you'll invariably get the predictable response of refreshments, toilet breaks and aching feet and that won't have changed for decades. Of course officers get caught short during shifts but there's usually a way to deal with the problem. I don't get why this officer left things until he was at crisis point, unless he'd had to wait so long for permission to leave. There comes a point when you know that serious alarm bells start to ring.
What I do understand is his difficulty in knowing where to go. Officers are drafted in from all over the area to police these events and so he would be totally unfamiliar with his surroundings, hence the reason he should have given himself sufficient time to locate a loo.
As for the shop's refusal, I do understand that as well. Believe me, it doesn't take much for word to get back that such-and-such a shop will let you use their toilet and before he knows it, the shopkeeper will have a stream of officers trudging in and out asking to use it. So I can see why he might have wanted to not allow it - heavy-footed policemen trampling all over your carpets is not great. It's probably a bit harsh but then again shops have a business to run and are not there for all types of public access.
As for the officer actually wetting himself, I'm amazed. I did 30 years of these type of events and never before have I known anything like that to happen. To allow himself to get into such a desperate predicament doesn't say much for his personal management and as for doing it in his trousers in front of people, it's a major embarrassment for both him and his force. That uniform represents an authoritative figure and wetting it in public is beyond comprehension.
I daren't imagine the nicknames he'll attract and it'll follow him throughout his career, sadly for him. I don't need to say it but coppers are top of charts of piss-takers.
It seems he was quite a young officer and I'm sure the awful experience will have scarred him as well as being a horrible lesson and I simply can't imagine the embarrassment of having to explain to his skipper what had happened.
The last thing organisers need at a busy event is having to deal with an officer who's wet his pants! Finding someone to replace him in his unit, organising transport back for him, clean clothes, explanations - it's a nightmare scenario.
I had to deal with many strange occurrences during my time but never something like that, fortunately. I can't think of many bigger embarrassments for an on-duty copper to suffer.
Was it his own fault? Probably, although he could have been helped more. Could he have avoided the ultimate disgrace? Possibly not, but it should never have got to that stage.

The police should arrest him for disgracing himself in the street. Thats what they do to people on nights out that have a wee against a wall when they can't find a toilet.
Never heard of the "disgracing yourself in the street" offence. But good contribution. Genius.Gassing Station | Speed, Plod & the Law | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
