Whats the correct arrest speech?
Discussion
Hi Guys,
We were out and about over the holiday, when one pub got a bit over the top, a slanging match started and a woman (i think it was...technically) was arrested but as the PC was struggling and reading the riot act to her he seemed to get the words all wrong.
Does it matter in the case later?
What is the correct arrest speech?

The Official Caution is,
" You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you fail to mention when questioned something which you later rely on in Court.
Anything you do say may be given in Evidence".
In reality, if you get a couple of words wrong it doesnt really matter as long as the person understands what you have said and the fact that they are in no doubt that they have been arrested etc etc.
In a 'heated' arrest,you can legally give the caution when the person has calmed down.

Hi Guys,
I was out on the beers over the holiday, when this Porsche driver reckoned his Boxster was quicker than my chimaera, a slanging match started and, erm, a woman (it wasnt really me, honest) was arrested but as the PC was struggling and reading the riot act to me, sorry, her, the PC seemed to get the words all wrong.
Can I manage to wangle my way out of this little hole cos the copper made a cock up?

after being pulled (for a driving offence - surprise) the policeman asked if I had anything to add for his record. I replied, "It's a fair cop 'guv". He refused to write that down as all his colleagues would take the mick. So instead I got him to write, "why are you planting that evidence in my pockets". His face was a picture

Funny that, someone said that to me, I did write it down with a chuckle.
It's funny what some people say, usually mmfsffpbbsasbbffmggbbbffbbaaassstaaaaarrrd.
Hard to spell that though!
Last week on that TV programme where they arranged a sting operation to catch court dodgers etc, the PC said " I am arresting you etc etc", to which the scrote replied "Is this a joke?" The PC replied "No, if this had been a joke I would have said "I say I say I say, I am arresting you etc etc"
Most amusing!

The classic one when dealing with a mong for obnoxious behaviour is to ask, "What you think a magistrate would make of behaviour like this?"
To which mong will invariably reply, "Don't give a f**k. Bunch of f***ing w@nker$...blah blah...."
Makes for a bit of fun when you write your statement!

That had be rolling about on the floor in tears
I had to interview a very attractive young lady and her equally atractive female friend once regarding a serious RTA they had been involved in.
I reported the driver for (as it was then) reckless and careless driving, cautioned her to which she replied " I suppose a blow job's out of the question then?"
She didn't half turn a funny shade of red when it was read out in court

I saw that too - genius
Chaps - one thing I've often wondered is after reading out the arrest speech you have to ask if you understand what's been said. What happens if they say "no I dont"??
