As for timelines, I locked a guy up for drink driving back in August and it only just got to magistrates court on Monday, and that was quite fast for Manchester (GMP).
We nearly lost the case due to CPS dropping a clanger with the case and the defence lawyer being pretty hot and pulling at all sorts of threads to undermine the case. CPS had us getting a custody officer to write a statement while we were waiting for court to confirm they were trained on the intoximeter.
Can a magistrate impose extra penalties because defendant tried to be clever?We nearly lost the case due to CPS dropping a clanger with the case and the defence lawyer being pretty hot and pulling at all sorts of threads to undermine the case.

Yeah. Still nice to see more of ur money going up in smoke. £40k in written off vehicle costs from a chav who will never pay tax into the system. Imported criminals shoplifting thousands of pounds of items each week.
The chavs weren't driving the police cars, I saw over excited cops ramming stolen vehicles. Thing I don’t get is ‘No further action relating to …’, last week it was the lad who stole the motorcycle, this week it was shop thefts.
I’m aware it’s not up to the police, but rather a CPS decision, but what’s the point of catching them if the CPS aren’t going to try and prosecute, hardly a deterrent being caught and let off.

Yeah I wasn't sure why they didn't just let the stinger do it's thing as it seemed quiet enoughdaqinggregg said:

Same as usual really. I’m aware it’s not up to the police, but rather a CPS decision, but what’s the point of catching them if the CPS aren’t going to try and prosecute, hardly a deterrent being caught and let off.

I do like TS Julian
I find Julian interesting. On the beat he comes across as a prize prick (IMO); whether that's acting up for the camera or necessary for the job I don't know. Off the beat, during the interludes, he comes across as far more thoughtful and introspective.I do like TS Julian

Another week of no real deterrents for involvement in shoplifting. The 14-year-old in the back of the Corolla hasn't seen any real reason to fear or respect the law when nobody got a touch despite having the tagged items in the car.
Some knobs alright, Easy target comes to mind.
No need for getting mouthy with him, It was pretty obvious he didn't see/hear them. I seen him take out ear plugs when he stopped.
I also wouldn't like the patronising manner they dealt with it, If they stopped me like that.
Not very professional if you ask me.
