24 Hours in Police Custody: Ch4
Discussion
'Guilty man' seemed resigned to his fate from the start - he must have known the game was up months before when they seized his hardware.
'Blurry man' clearly had unusual fetishes but did seem to be the usual suspect /prior felon the Police picked up when something happened. His comment that he was being left open to a baying mob by them tapping his door with a film crew in tow was fair - this time at least he'd done nothing wrong.
I tip my hat to the guy that sat in a marketing meeting and suggested a throbbing pseudo vagina in an Orville would be a good seller - who'd have thought it.
Selena was a honey....

There's nowt as funny as folk! "don't harm my girlfriend in there, she's inflatable!"
I'm interested to know how they approached his work about checking out his alibi. Do they say:
a) "we're investigating Blurry bloke on an undisclosed matter, can you tell us if he was at work on DD/MM/CCYY?", or
b) "we're investigating Blurry bloke on suspicision of attempted child abduction, can you tell us if he was at work on DD/MM/CCYY?" By the way, give his back bedroom a swerve.
Kudos to those female DCs. Really don't know how they can do that job in such a professional manner, although I suspect the mentions of sleepless nights etc mean that compartmentalisation of what they see at work only goes so far. I would hazard a guess that they would find it impossible to carry on as mothers themselves?

In this coutnry you need to have a suspicion someone has committed a particular offence to arrest them for it - so they must have had SOMETHIGN (which they didn't mention). Polcie just go around arresting the 'usual suspects' - although as I understand he had been arrested quite a long time ago with no action taken - so not sure he was a person who was arrested regularly whenever something went down.
Have to say, it would be quite obvious who he is to people who know him and I think there is a strong argument that they shouldn't be allowed to show the footage - or at the least blank him out much more. I can forsee baying mobs at the door and at the end of the day he is innocent until proven guilty.

I do hope his girlfriend doesn't leave him.Oakey said:
Why has that nonce got something to read in his cell?
Read pace, you are entitled to writing material (If my memory serves me right now).Custody sergeants don't like giving pens and pencils in most cases for obvious reasons. You will usually be fobbed off with the codes of practise, but if you are in a decent custody suite they might have a stack of old books. It's a good thing, keeps people on side and stops them getting bored and kicking off. By kicking off I mean that they don't pretend to have chest pains and need taking to hospital etc... 2 officers having to be stuck with you for 10 hours off the streets whilst Checks are done.
Allowing someone to read a book, is not being soft. It's basic common sense, police custody isn't meant to be isolation punishment. If you are drunk, suicidal or on drugs you won't get anything.

They need reasonable grounds. The bar for arrest in the uk is very low. I won't go into the rights of wrongs of that. Reasonable grounds can be as simple as "someone fitting that look was seen in the area". And all you will probably get as a disclosure is a one line special disclosure "We have reasonable ground to believe your client may have been involved in x....".
The police do have a duty of care to the arrested person. However how that is implemented is not the focus of the show. My guess would be that they would turn up if he called, and that the council or housing association would rehouse him if it was thought needed. I didn't like him, but I didn't think the police came across well laughing at him when he said he'd like an apology when found innocent. Ultimately if you are unable to apologise when you have mistakenly taken away someone's Liberty, even if it was the right thing to do at the time, you need to evaluate what your priorities are.
I also think there is an argument to extend the same anominity to people with certain offences that is given to victims. Buts that's a different can of worms.
