That's a very detailed calculation of numbers you've completely made up. We don't have GBH in Scotland either, or aggravated robbery as a term. He's likely to be dealt with at the High Court if he's injured someone badly enough to put them in hospital, or if a weapon was used and so could in theory receive anything up to a life sentence. Some recent sentencing statements here, there's a few robberies listed: http://www.scotland-judiciary.org.uk/8/0/4/Sentencing-Statements by Glasgowpolis (Wed 16th Jan 2019 12:39pm)

He'll definitely get jail time if he's convicted of these. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 16th Jan 2019 1:09pm)

Serious assault. If you want to go down a rabbit hole with all the complicated ways crimes are recorded... http://www.scotland.police.uk/assets/pdf/138327/232757/scottish-crime-recording-standard?view=Standard by Glasgowpolis (Wed 16th Jan 2019 1:08pm)

If a litter warden sees you that's reasonable suspicion too. They've got no real power to make you wait while they call for the police though. by Glasgowpolis (Fri 18th Jan 2019 1:34pm)

There's no facial recognition CCTV in Glasgow. See my other reply re number plates. by Glasgowpolis (Fri 18th Jan 2019 1:31pm)

Problem with that is the registered keeper has no legal responsibility for the littering of their passengers. They also don't have any legal requirement to identify who their passengers were. Road traffic law requires them to identify who was driving if a traffic offence was committed but nothing else. by Glasgowpolis (Fri 18th Jan 2019 1:29pm)

Aye I know. Was just pointing out that if they see you and phone us that's enough for us to require you to id yourself and raise a crime report with you as a suspect to be identified if you've left before the police get there. by Glasgowpolis (Fri 18th Jan 2019 1:48pm)

Realistically nah i doubt it. If you give fake details they'll just do their paperwork and when the fines not paid keep sending letters. Too late for the police to be any use at that point. If you don't give any details they might phone the police and we'd investigate while they still have their bodycam footage etc. by Glasgowpolis (Fri 18th Jan 2019 1:55pm)

They'll only download the bodycam footage if there's an expectation it'll be required, i.e. if you've refused details. If they believe you've given real details and expect the fine to be paid they've no reason to download the footage so by the time anyone realises the fines not going to be paid and the details are duff any useful evidence is gone. by Glasgowpolis (Fri 18th Jan 2019 2:04pm)

Nice mate. by Glasgowpolis (Fri 25th Jan 2019 10:01pm)

Yes. by Glasgowpolis (Fri 25th Jan 2019 10:01pm)

Please ask your friend not to bypass the electricity while they're experimenting. It's fucking dangerous. by Glasgowpolis (Mon 28th Jan 2019 12:23pm)

There's no such crime as home burglary in Scotland so i can only assume you're getting your shite information from sources in another country. by Glasgowpolis (Mon 28th Jan 2019 4:13pm)

Crime in progress justifies a 999 call and we would definitely attend this. by Glasgowpolis (Mon 28th Jan 2019 4:11pm)

So I can't swear because I'm the polis? Fuck that. by Glasgowpolis (Mon 28th Jan 2019 5:40pm)

No, it's because he's talking absolute nonsense and when told that doubled down on it using made up fact that police don't attend "house burglaries". People spreading lies as fact need challenged strongly imo. Letting that pass as fact is the start of the slippery slope that ends with flat earthers and president trumps. by Glasgowpolis (Mon 28th Jan 2019 5:54pm)

No, that wasn't my argument. That was part of my evidence that you're far from an expert on policing in Scotland. I thought that was obvious. It was just the easiest way to highlight that you're talking shite that someone who's had their house broken into won't see a cop after it. by Glasgowpolis (Mon 28th Jan 2019 6:07pm)

Yeah mate. by Glasgowpolis (Mon 28th Jan 2019 6:15pm)

Give me an example. by Glasgowpolis (Mon 28th Jan 2019 6:21pm)

I'm a polis not a statistician. If you want exact figures submit a FOI request and a pencil pusher will spend time getting you numbers. I can tell you that if someone phones in while a housebreaking (that's what we call it in Scotland) is ongoing it's a Priority 1 call and pretty much every single cop whose free will be blue lighting it to the call as soon as it's received. Cops on their break will give it up and go straight out to blue light it to the call as well because housebreakers are scumbags and arresting them is very high on everyone's priorities. If you discover your house has been broken into after the event you're likely to get a response in a matter of hours because there are higher priority calls coming in and we don't lose much of evidential value from the slightly delayed response. by Glasgowpolis (Mon 28th Jan 2019 6:20pm)

Would you expect a blue light response to a crime that isn't ongoing? I've arrested numerous scumbag housebreakers after arriving a few hours after the initial report. My enquiries from door to door, CCTV, DNA, fingerprints and much more are not impacted at all by how quickly i got there from the call from the reporter. by Glasgowpolis (Mon 28th Jan 2019 6:36pm)

When they announce prices they always go with how much people would pay for the smallest amount and multiply that up - so say £50 a quarter oz or whatever (been a while since i bought any!). Makes a better headline. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 6th Feb 2019 11:40am)

I'm sure the smallest we price cannabis is a quarter oz. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 6th Feb 2019 12:25pm)

It's theft, plain and simple. Even if they don't manage to get your money attempted theft is still a crime. Phone 999 if you see it happening or are the victim, ongoing crime should be a priority for the call handlers but resources can be thin on the ground, especially in the city centre. It's not robbery because there's no violence or threat of violence. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 27th Mar 2019 10:42am)

That's nonsense. We have the same number of cars but now don't have any cops left on shifts to be out on the beat once the cars are filled. Loads of cops lost to office jobs and shit like delivering citations that the courts used to employ people to do that now fall on the police. To claim beat cops don't get results is absolutely mental. There's no community engagement when all the cops are driving about their full shift and we're losing out on loads of intelligence that we used to glean from beat cops. Any cop claiming we're better off without beat cops has about 2 years service and is happier driving about all the time. by Glasgowpolis (Sun 5th May 2019 5:21pm)

Get this to fuck. by Glasgowpolis (Tue 7th May 2019 6:15am)

No. We don't. by Glasgowpolis (Tue 7th May 2019 10:07am)

I'm not speaking with any knowledge of this particular guy or case but...the Fiscal needs to authorise the release of someone's image for a police appeal and they will never allow it to be mentioned if the offence is sexual in nature. Their reasoning is that they fear vigilante attacks. So for example if I'm dealing with a sexual assault I'll be allowed to do a press release with CCTV images and mention the time, date and locus but only be allowed to call it an assault, not mention the sexual element. That said, there could be a completely different reason in this case. by Glasgowpolis (Fri 24th May 2019 9:47am)

If what you did was tell 2 polis on the street get your mate to go into an office and file a lost report. Those get sent to the custodiers at found property and they match up anything handed in with anything reported lost. If you told 2 cops on the street they'd have kept an eye out for it but unlikely they filled in a lost report. by Glasgowpolis (Thu 13th Jun 2019 9:35am)

That is a fucking joke article from the evening times. Literally reads like an advert from the private parking firm and they've accepted what the firm have said about the cars owner always being responsible in civil cases with no explanation. You only need to identify yourself as the driver of a vehicle to the police and even then only in relation to the car being driven, not parked. by Glasgowpolis (Sat 22nd Jun 2019 2:13pm)

Why? Is he wearing a name badge on the CCTV? by Glasgowpolis (Tue 25th Jun 2019 10:29am)

Not a lot of people know this but there are rewards for found property handed it to the police Rewards for Finders 8.1 When property is being claimed, the Chief Constable may require the owner to pay a reward as detailed in the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 Section 8.2 In respect of property valued at less than £50, no reward is required (however, if the owner wishes to leave a reward this can be accepted and processed). 8.3 In respect of property valued at £50 or more, a 10% reward (rounded up to the nearest one pound) is required. However, if the value of the property exceeds £1,000, the reward is to be determined in consultation with the Chief Constable. 8.4 Where owners of property refuse to pay a reward, the property may be retained until such time as agreement is reached between the authorised person and the owner. 8.5 Each case will be decided upon on its own merits and will reflect the owner’s ability to pay. 8.6 Should it not prove possible to reconcile the dispute, a full report will be prepared and retained for reference purposes in the event that legal action via a Sheriff, under Section 76 of the Act is made by the owner or finder. 8.7 When a reward is taken, the finder must be notified. In cases where the finder cannot collect a reward, other payment methods may be utilised. 8.8 Unclaimed rewards must be retained for a period lasting no longer than 28 working days from the date of deposit and thereafter paid / banked into the relevant Police Scotland Account. Alternatively, depending on the wishes of the owner, the reward should be returned to them or donated to a recognised charity of their choice. 8.9 A single receipt is to be issued in respect of all rewards and expenses recovered. The found property reference number is to be included at the top of the relevant record. 8.10 Should an owner claim to be in impoverished financial circumstances, rewards may be waived. The Senior Officer or member of staff on duty will make this decision on a case by case basis. 8.11 No reward can be made in respect of property which has been stolen. by Glasgowpolis (Tue 25th Jun 2019 10:32am)

Because how the fuck do they know from having him on CCTV that he's the registeref keeper?! They can't just start court action against Jimmy because they've got some random guy in CCTV parking the car. by Glasgowpolis (Tue 25th Jun 2019 10:31pm)

I started this thread by saying the article was bullshit and not factual. From the Scottish Parliament website: Keeper liability Scotland opted out of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, which introduced keeper liability in England and Wales.9 Keeper liability makes the registered keeper of a vehicle liable for any unpaid parking charges on that vehicle if the amount cannot be recovered from the driver (for example, if the driver’s identity is not known). The Act allows the parking company to apply to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) for the keeper’s name and address (although the DVLA’s practice is only to provide this information to parking companies that are members of either the BPA or IPC).10 A registered keeper is defined as the person whose name the vehicle is registered in. Since the 2012 Act does not apply in Scotland, the registered keeper of a vehicle cannot be held liable for unpaid parking charges. This means that if another driver was using the car at the time of the incurred penalty notice, the registered keeper cannot be compelled to pay the charge, or name the driver. This puts the burden on the car park operator to identify the driver, along with the car, in order to press for payment of charges. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 26th Jun 2019 2:23pm)

Do you work for the parking company? Nothing needs said beyond what i just told you in my last post. He probably identified himself but he didn't have to and nobody else does in Scotland. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 26th Jun 2019 5:23pm)

Don't talk shite. by Glasgowpolis (Mon 8th Jul 2019 3:33pm)

Part of our job is to prevent crime/disorder. Asking folk to not raise tensions by trying to antagonise others is part of that, regardless of how amusing their attempts at antagonising might be. Language could have been better right enough. by Glasgowpolis (Mon 8th Jul 2019 4:17pm)

Begging itself isn't against the law so the police are limited in what we can do. by Glasgowpolis (Mon 8th Jul 2019 7:49pm)

Whether anyone likes it or not, the walk itself is a lawful event. The clown in this videos actions weren't and neither are the actions of a number of the hangers on. by Glasgowpolis (Mon 8th Jul 2019 7:47pm)

He might get into bother for incivility. No real need for the language. Its a pain in the arse having to police the walks and nobody enjoys it, especially if their day offs been cancelled but need to stay professional. by Glasgowpolis (Mon 8th Jul 2019 7:45pm)

Bollocks. Don't know a single cop who feels anything but dread at having to spend a shift policing that. by Glasgowpolis (Mon 8th Jul 2019 8:16pm)

Aye I got that, don't get to pick and choose which lawful processions we police though. by Glasgowpolis (Mon 8th Jul 2019 8:45pm)

If you're not upset about someone singing "up the IRA" you've got problems. Your second sentence is just nonsense. by Glasgowpolis (Tue 9th Jul 2019 12:23am)

So a march is sectarian and wrong but a terrorist organisation that killed close to 2000 people are worth celebrating? by Glasgowpolis (Tue 9th Jul 2019 12:31am)

The police don't have any right to strike in this country. The marches are lawful and approved by the council. Imagine you lived in a country with a right wing police force who decided they hated gay pride and refused to police it. The police don't get to decide which organisations they agree with and only police those. If the council approve a march of paedophile nazis we'd still have to police it. It doesn't indicate any support for those marching. by Glasgowpolis (Tue 9th Jul 2019 12:54pm)

Can't say I've ever seen a nazi salute at any of the marches I've policed, but let's say it did happen. What would you like the "several police officers" do about hundreds of people doing a nazi salute? How many is several? 6? 8? Would you like them to arrest 20 people each? Maybe handcuff them into a big conga line and dance them to an office? If there is a large number of people committing offences generally an enquiry team would be set up after the event to identify offenders and bring them in front of the court. I've never seen evidence of the crimes you're suggesting, but in these days of social media I'm sure you'll have access to numerous videos. You should report it. I've only once seen a member of a march committing an offence, he got the jail. by Glasgowpolis (Tue 9th Jul 2019 1:05pm)

I've had to police orange walks, republican walks, the edl, Obama visiting, trump visiting, royal visits, gay pride, g8, commonwealth games, olympics and any other number of public events. The fact that you somehow think that indicates me in any way supporting all of those widely different groups isn't "sort of telling" about anything other than your stupidity. by Glasgowpolis (Tue 9th Jul 2019 1:33pm)

I don't get to pick and choose what members of the public I protect. What sort of country would we live in if I did? by Glasgowpolis (Tue 9th Jul 2019 1:41pm)

Right. So if someone's kicking fuck out of you do i get to say "nah he/she was a bit of a cunt on Reddit so I'm not helping him/her"? Where is the line? Do you get to decide who is allowed out in public? A referendum? Or do we protect everyone's human rights equally regardless of how abhorrent some of their views are? by Glasgowpolis (Tue 9th Jul 2019 1:50pm)

I'm sure you're well intentioned but I don't think you want to live in a country where the police get to decide who is allowed to exercise their human rights and who isn't. by Glasgowpolis (Tue 9th Jul 2019 2:09pm)

If someone is acting lawfully it doesn't matter what their belief system is, I'm not sure what you're struggling with. The fact I used an extreme belief system to illustrate my point seems to be the main problem here. What if I, or the public at large decided to regress 100 years and being gay was suddenly unacceptable. Should I refuse to police a pride march? Who decides what sort of people are allowed to exercise their right to march? Marching is lawful. Holding views or beliefs that some or most people find abhorrent is also lawful. Doing lawful things while being an unpopular minority shouldn't lead to you being policed differently. by Glasgowpolis (Tue 9th Jul 2019 2:33pm)

Who decides which people deserve to have their legal rights protected? You? So I shouldn't protect someone doing something legal if they hold Nazi views? What if they hold extreme religious views? Maybe they're gay and you dont like that, should they be allowed to be out in public? Maybe we shouldn't let them vote either if you don't agree with their views on something. by Glasgowpolis (Tue 9th Jul 2019 3:05pm)

You are advocating the removal of basic human rights from people because you disagree with some of their views. Which rights do you want to remove and who from? Just the right to march, they're ok to be out in public and to vote? And just from Nazis? Or are there other groups you'd like to oppress because you disagree with them? by Glasgowpolis (Tue 9th Jul 2019 3:42pm)

I understand that you can't grasp that people don't lose their basic human rights because they hold abhorrent/unpopular views. No matter how loud you shout OMG ACTUAL NAZIS. I also don't understand why my upholding someone's basic human rights is in any way me defending or supporting their belief system. Would you like to answer my question about which human rights you think should be removed and from which groups. Or do you think they should have their rights but somehow not be protected by the rule of law like everyone else in the country? by Glasgowpolis (Tue 9th Jul 2019 4:25pm)

Why? 2 arseholes assaulted someone and there was clear evidence of it. They were always going to be charged with it, the police in Scotland aren't sympathetic towards the OO, no matter how many times someone says it. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 10th Jul 2019 10:52am)

Was it on film when the priest was spat on last year and sometime was arrested? "The filth" tells me all i need to know about you. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 10th Jul 2019 10:56am)

Here's a video that didn't happen in Scotland, let's use it to suggest anything about policing in Scotland. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 10th Jul 2019 11:02am)

Where the fuck did I excuse that? That's not Scotland and that wouldn't happen in Scotland. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 10th Jul 2019 11:01am)

You're showing something that happened in à different fucking country and claiming it has any relevance here. You can post a video of an American cop shooting someone in the back while they run away, it won't tell us anything about policing in Scotland. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 10th Jul 2019 11:08am)

The article says they'll appear at court at a later date, which means they've been charged. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 10th Jul 2019 11:05am)

That's the route that was approved for the march. The tweet specifically says "refusing instructions from the police" because they were being told to stop playing their tunes as agreed beforehand. What do you think they're being filmed for? These things get dealt with retrospectively. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 10th Jul 2019 11:18am)

Marching past the chapel was the approved route. They were asked not to play as part of the terms of the march being agreed, usually the drum is all that continues as they pass a church. They didn't do that and were reminded by the police they shouldn't be playing. It will all be reported back and raised when future applications go in. Nobody will be charged for marching past the church because that's not against any law. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 10th Jul 2019 11:28am)

And Saoradh were allowed to march by the cenotaph. Doesn't really fit your agenda though does it. It's almost as if people have human rights and the council/police aren't allowed to remove them because someone else disagrees with their beliefs. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/hardline-irish-republican-group-linked-14904397 by Glasgowpolis (Wed 10th Jul 2019 11:34am)

If that's what you're reading into my replies it's clear there's fuck all point in this conversation. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 10th Jul 2019 11:31am)

Being allowed to march is a human right. Same as when Saoradh were allowed to march past the cenotaph in military fatigues with the police alongside them. Policing a parade says fuck all about the police when it comes to the views of those in the parade. I assume you wouldn't suggest Police Scotland have a soft spot for hard-line Irish republicans in Saoradh even though it was policed in an identical way to an orange walk. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 10th Jul 2019 11:39am)

I've been called worse. by Glasgowpolis (Thu 11th Jul 2019 1:57am)

I come on here now and again to try and give some insight into policing in Scotland, I don't do it to defend the police no matter what or to get called a useless pig, filth, etc like i have in this thread. Anyway, moan over... Police in Scotland have discretion when it comes to anti-social behaviour. When policing a procession public safety is the primary concern and time taken confiscating drink and or writing ASB tickets is not necessarily the best use of two officers time. All depends on the exact circumstances. What do you picture the officers doing when the band doesn't stop playing? A big lasso round them all? Pick a couple of the band at random and try and arrest them? Risking a full scale disturbance? by Glasgowpolis (Thu 11th Jul 2019 5:10pm)

They help the police open up investigations". Tell me more about this. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 24th Jul 2019 7:44am)

That doesn't really explain the house being smashed up or the car vandalised does it? What does your basic arithmetic tell you about the motive for that? by Glasgowpolis (Fri 23rd Aug 2019 7:21am)

Shouldn't be using the chimes after 7pm. That's why you hear most of them using their whistle later in the evening. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 18th Sep 2019 7:10am)

This plot twist of yours sounds highly unlikely. If you bought insurance today you knew that when you were stopped and even if you didn't have the email you're claiming to have lost the cops who stopped you would have phone the motor insurance bureau and checked your story. Your car wouldn't have been seized. If you turn up with a policy from today wrongly claiming it was from before you were stopped it's not going to go well. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 18th Sep 2019 3:05pm)

No, but I've been in the polis for a long time. If there's a confirmed person just gone into the river that's the expected response. by Glasgowpolis (Sat 22nd Feb 2020 4:01am)

If anyone has any information about this girl, please do not share it with OP. Phone 101 and report to the police. There is no way to verify the OPs intentions in trying to trace the person in the picture.

The rumours doing the rounds about the army being in town already and impending lockdown are all absolute lies. Been on duty this morning and spoke to cops in 3 different Glasgow offices and been to the QEUH. There are no army vehicles anywhere. Stop spreading lies and confront anyone who is. This is what causes panic buying and anxiety for people. Also, Pitt Street shut fucking years ago and when that was pointed out the rumourmongers just changed their story to Helen Street. by Glasgowpolis (Thu 19th Mar 2020 10:07am)

If I'm sat in Helen Street and not denouncing lies that the army are congregated right outside the office I'm sat in I'm doing something wrong. by Glasgowpolis (Sat 21st Mar 2020 9:48am)

What do you do for a living? Just asking so cunts online can be a prick to you anonymously solely based on your job. Most folk won't because they're not pathetic wee arseholes. Like you. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 1st Apr 2020 11:54am)

Aye, fine. You? You stopped oinking like a little pig for no apparent reason? by Glasgowpolis (Wed 1st Apr 2020 8:44pm)

That level of response is almost always a reaction to a cop having to press the emergency button on their radio requesting urgent assistance. Until the officer's confirmed safe and well and whatever's happened is under control all other officers in the vicinity will head to the call. Vicinity usually meaning the subdivision and neighbouring subs. by Glasgowpolis (Fri 3rd Apr 2020 12:40pm)

I know it's been pointed out by others with varying degrees of politeness but I just wanted to add that this trip would be morally and legally wrong for you to make. If someone reports you police resources will be used to trace you and take action to return you home, fine you or arrest you as necessary. Please stay at home. It's the right thing to do. https://www.scotland.police.uk/about-us/covid-19-policescotlandresponse/ by Glasgowpolis (Thu 30th Apr 2020 1:03pm)

What you've described as your plan is currently 100% against the law. If we get a call telling us about it officers will be sent to deal with you accordingly. Your ignorance of the law is no excuse. You would not believe the number of calls we receive about lockdown breaches or the ridiculous excuses people give for thinking they somehow deserve an exemption that nobody else does. You have no reason to be ignorant of the law when so many people have tried to explain it to you in this thread. Take the advice here rather than risk the fine or worse by believing you're different to the rest of the country and can break the law. by Glasgowpolis (Thu 30th Apr 2020 1:21pm)

Can't help with the solicitor but can maybe help explain the situation. What were you arrested for? Were you arrested on suspicion of a crime? Were you interviewed? Are you sure you weren't charged and have been reported to the fiscal? Most people who are arrested are released from custody without a fine or court appearance because they'll be cited to appear at court at a later date. Increasingly so the last few months. PM me if you don't want to reply in the open. by Glasgowpolis (Sun 7th Jun 2020 4:12pm)

Where did this happen and I'll check how they're doing? The chances of a week old Reddit account having this experience seem amazingly small by Glasgowpolis (Fri 17th Jul 2020 8:06pm)

I hope a few people take time to reflect on their comments/behaviour in the Deleted Post thread yesterday. A sub should always welcome feedback and criticism from the community but quite a few people were just acting like bullies. I've seen the impact online bullying can have in the real world when people are quick to forget it's a real person they're attacking and not just their internet handle. by Glasgowpolis (Tue 11th Aug 2020 6:32am)

Agree with all of that, sad to see the worst offender doubling down on his abuse having had time to reflect on the bigger picture and presumably see this. by Glasgowpolis (Tue 11th Aug 2020 12:47pm)

This might be controversial but I preferred lurking here when the mods were removing shitposts. Was used to reading most threàds that came up but the subs a bit of a shitshow after a couple of days of nothing showing as removed. They were maybe going too far before, or maybe needed to tag the removals better so it was transparent, but I preferred scrolling through posts last week than I have the last few days. Also, fuck the nightshift. by Glasgowpolis (Thu 13th Aug 2020 6:12am)

Imagine 2 cops walking through the park and wanting to have a chat with someone doing something a bit different and interesting. Should we not talk to anyone incase some wee wank thinks we're "quizzing" the guy that's clearly chatting away and staring at the cunt that's taking his photo? by Glasgowpolis (Mon 24th Aug 2020 6:41pm)

I'd suggest "some moron" is the wee wank that posted this and not an actual polis giving a different possible view of what's happening here. by Glasgowpolis (Mon 24th Aug 2020 7:27pm)

How do you know who called the police? They walked up to someone and had a chat and you thought "I need to take a photo of this and post it online, suggest the polis are 'quizzing' someone they're chatting too" What you aiming for here? by Glasgowpolis (Mon 24th Aug 2020 7:26pm)

Ah, I see. So see when I'm on duty and I'm being all polite while cunts complain about me having a civil conversation with a guy who's just painting but that I've had to speak to because someone's said he's suspicious...I'm thinking the person who phoned in about this is a cunt. And so is the wee wank photographing this innocent, amenable interaction and thinking it's worth posting online. by Glasgowpolis (Mon 24th Aug 2020 7:41pm)

The top voted advice is terrible. As annoying as the situation might be for OP, the police don't have any powers to force entry for a noise complaint unless there's an ongoing disturbance when we arrive. Lying about concerns for someone to get their door put in is not the answer. Best advice would be to try and address it through the noise team at the council or try and find out if the neighbour has a social worker or mental healt involvement since screaming randomly isn't really expected behaviour. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 9th Sep 2020 6:54am)

This is shit advice and an absolute dickhead move. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 9th Sep 2020 6:50am)

This did not happen. This is the stupidest màde up story I've seen today. by Glasgowpolis (Sat 12th Sep 2020 9:18pm)

Sorry, nothing productive to say but please ignore anyone telling you to call either police or fire service. The emergency services can't help and your call could delay someone else getting through that could need help. by Glasgowpolis (Fri 2nd Oct 2020 10:50am)

Street valium has largely been completely replaced by etizolam which started as a legal high and flooded the market completely. It went from "street valium" usually being blue or yellow tablets that were often prescription medication sold on to being cheaper, unregulated pulls going for about 40p each. Can't even count the number of deaths I've been to that were caused by etizolam. The economy, cuts targeting the poorest and many other factors could be at play, but etizolam started appearing in 2012 and I'd say plays by far the biggest factor in our current drugs deaths rate. by Glasgowpolis (Tue 15th Dec 2020 6:29pm)

Hand it in to the police. If the person who lost it reported it lost then the custodiers at lost and found should match up your found report. They've probably given up hope of getting it back since they lost it weeks ago. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 24th Feb 2021 4:22pm)

Part of their role in society is to maintain the peace. If you can see a way that the maybe 100 officers on this operation could have done anything other than keep the peace I'm sure your feedback is welcome. Even if there were 1000 officers available, which there could never be,, if you think they can start wading in and arresting people rather than facilitating their plans, regardless of how undeseriable the plans are, you're deluded. Seeing the police preventing a riot and thinking that means they support the cause of the group they're dealing with is ridiculous. They didn't arrest everyone rioting outside Celtic park the other month either. by Glasgowpolis (Sun 7th Mar 2021 7:10pm)

What would you suggest if 10k people decide to congregate for whatever reason? by Glasgowpolis (Sun 7th Mar 2021 7:18pm)

The Celtic fans were actively assaulting the police and trying to attack the players. The rangers fans were clearly breaching covid rules, but were peaceful from all footage I've seen. What's your point? by Glasgowpolis (Sun 7th Mar 2021 9:39pm)

So by your own admission only the police are knowledgeable enough to know how best to deal with the situation the other day. They dealt with the situation and kept the peace using all the knowledge they have in crowd management. This magical scenario you have in your head where a crowd of over 10k people can be dealt with in any way other than being carefully managed is ludicrous. If there were a couple of hundred people they could have been kettled and controlled, but not in these numbers. It takes, at least, 2 cops to arrest someone or issue a ticket. The whole time they're dealing with one person that's two cops less managing the other 10k people. As you said, no one other than someone in the police can be knowledgeable enough to understand, so accept that you're wrong on this and might be seeing this all simply from your take on who the crowd being managed were. Fully expect this to be downvored to fuck because this sub is quite pro polis except when it comes to managing rangers fans or orange walks. When we're not giving them all the jail instead of keeping the peace it's because we're complicit and joining in, not because we're managing them as we do every other mass gathering. by Glasgowpolis (Tue 9th Mar 2021 8:12am)

They're both cops. It's not a good look one in high viz and one not but they're both cops. Police don't patrol with the council wardens (litter police) who you'll see in the town with similar outfits but slightly different colours. Even the special constables in Glasgow look like fully paid up cops with 'g' shoulder numbers instead of the 'sc' they used to have. These two are both cops. by Glasgowpolis (Fri 12th Mar 2021 2:26pm)

I mean, the finder gets a receipt that is copied in triplicate with carbon paper, a copy stays in a ledger book that can't be tampered with and one goes with the property to the custodiers at lost and found but you stick to this made up scenario in your head where stuffs getting nicked despite all the checks and balances. If the owner has reported it lost the custodiers then match up their loss report with the found report and reunite the owner with the property. If the owner doesn't claim within 2 months the finder has a month to go back and take ownership. If the finder doesn't then it goes to auction. There's a 38 page SOP with the full guidance here: https://www.scotland.police.uk/spa-media/pmbomvqi/lost-abandoned-found-property-sop.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwi1nMvgr9TvAhUMY8AKHT4ADWsQFjAAegQIAxAC&usg=AOvVaw3TYjyrqhyRT3kUa7-ZCpFz by Glasgowpolis (Mon 29th Mar 2021 2:43am)

Had your account for 8 years so presumably not a 12 year old. Fucking embarrassed for you. by Glasgowpolis (Mon 29th Mar 2021 4:18am)

Why do you think they're flying between midnight and 3am if it's not for something serious? Missing person, someone in the river, housebreakers disturbed, suicidal folk in the woods, robbery just occurred suspect nearby. The bigger the sub gets the more it's becoming like a Facebook community group... by Glasgowpolis (Wed 9th Jun 2021 6:46am)

I tried to be polite the first time and point out a few of the serious reasons helicopters go up. Can add having to take people from the islands or other remote areas to hospital for emergencies. If you can read all that and still only think about the impact the noise has on you you're a selfish ****. by Glasgowpolis (Thu 10th Jun 2021 6:53pm)

"i saw and heard one helicopter so now I can tell all helicopters apart". FFS. by Glasgowpolis (Tue 22nd Jun 2021 5:05pm)

Talking shite by Glasgowpolis (Sun 7th Nov 2021 10:55pm)

Years ago I got sent to a blue light call, housebreaking in progress. Stuck the lights and sirens on, got to the locus and dealt with it. Half an hour later I got a call on the radio from the Inspector asking me to head back to the office. Someone had called in to complain that I'd scared them by activating my siren near their car. Still bemused to this day that he didn't tell them to fuck off. by Glasgowpolis (Tue 30th Nov 2021 4:59am)

If the cops who come out try and fob you off that it's a civil matter, stand your ground. It's a criminal offence to withdraw money from a deceased persons account. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 15th Dec 2021 8:42am)

Fair point, I worked on the assumption that OP wouldn't be trying to close joint accounts. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 15th Dec 2021 10:44am)

We're no really by Glasgowpolis (Fri 17th Dec 2021 11:28am)

DELETED No we won't. Police don't have the power to issue fines for dog fouling. That and littering are left to council wardens. Police can report you to the PF for it and the likely outcome there is a fine or a fiscal's warning. by Glasgowpolis (Fri 14th Jan 2022 2:38pm)

If you're concerned for someone's well-being there's no issues at all with phoning the police to get it checked out. by Glasgowpolis (Sun 30th Jan 2022 2:02pm)

What's the violation you're reporting? by Glasgowpolis (Wed 6th Apr 2022 3:56pm)

Good patter. If anyone's causing an actual obstruction the police can deal. We won't deal with people ignoring resident parking signs. If these are vans stopping for a few minutes for the roll van it's unlikely to be an issue the police will be there in time enough to deal with. Maybe you need to chill out unless a vehicle is stopping you from getting where you need to go. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 6th Apr 2022 4:40pm)

You've got a close door that someone can park so close to you can't get a bike out? Let's see photos. by Glasgowpolis (Wed 6th Apr 2022 7:01pm)

It is that door. The flats opposite Glasgow Uni Union are the same layout. I learned this years ago when a group were throwing glasses and plates at people from a top floor flat. I kicked the storm door in to get access to the close and found myself at the front door of a private flat instead. Thankfully the lock had popped open and there was no damage to their door. by Glasgowpolis (Thu 25th Aug 2022 4:34pm)

Well given there were people on the street at risk of being hit by pint glasses from 4 storeys up I'm pretty happy that I had the power to force entry. by Glasgowpolis (Fri 26th Aug 2022 3:22pm)

There is absolutely no chance this happened. If a neighbour made a malicious call claiming drug misuse the absolute maximum response might be two cops checking it out and submitting an intelligence log if there was anything of note. Two van loads turning up and covering front and back of the house happens when there's a warrant for the address signed off by a sheriff. by Glasgowpolis (Thu 17th Nov 2022 5:32pm)

We think the same about you, but we'll still come when you need us by Glasgowpolis (Sat 10th Dec 2022 12:02am)

They're wrong. PNC check with model, colour and partial vrm is extremely likely to identify one local car, especially with a private reg. If all you had was first two digits being SH and it was a white fiesta you'd have no chance but with what you've said they'd identify one or two cars I'd imagine. by Glasgowpolis (Sat 18th Feb 2023 9:22am)

At OST the leg sweep is specifically taught that we shouldn't control the fall. by Glasgowpolis (Sun 7th May 2023 2:52pm)

I'm not questioning the proportionality, the leg sweep seemed unnecessary from the short clip, but once he's decided to go for it there's nothing in his training that says he should try and help the person to fall in a controlled manner. by Glasgowpolis (Sun 7th May 2023 4:09pm)

I know you're maybe joking but wouldn't want anyone to be put off handing in found property. The finder gets a receipt that is copied in triplicate with carbon paper, a copy stays in a ledger book that can't be tampered with and one goes with the property to the custodiers at lost and found. If the owner has reported it lost the custodiers then match up their loss report with the found report and reunite the owner with the property. If the owner doesn't claim within 2 months the finder has a month to go back and take ownership. If the finder doesn't then it goes to auction.

How are you imagining this would work? Giant poo bags and a shovel on their belts? Rear view mirrors to make sure they see it happening? It's never been an offence to not clean up horse manure. Can't imagine the rider even being aware half the time by Glasgowpolis (Thu 1st Jun 2023 8:48am)

No horse rider is legally required to clean up horse manure when riding so there are no double standards. by Glasgowpolis (Thu 1st Jun 2023 8:45am)
