24 Hours in Police Custody

[SpookyFrank]

How many people here have ever spent the night in jail? Not me, that's for certain.

Spent a few nights in the plod cells. In each case the actual being locked in a cell bit was a walk in the park compared to the circumstances that led to me being there in the first place, but I've heard some horror stories. If you're in the cells and you have any kind of injury or medical need, you're probably not going to enjoy yourself much.

A friend of mine recently spent 12 hours locked up, much of it spent pleading for a doctor and vomiting from the concussion her arresting filth had given her. She was released when the pigs realised they had nothing to charge her with, presumably having spent the night flicking through the law books to find the bit where it says that 'being a black person' is a crime.

On a lighter note, one time the turnkey banged on my door and told me to stop singing. I'd been caterwauling my way through the complete works of Simon and Garfunkel in an attempt to stave off the boredom.

Naturally I seized on this chance to use the immortal line, 'what are you gonna do, arrest me?' before launching into 'Keep the Customer Satisfied':

'Gee but it's great to be back home...'

but as much as they blathered on you can't trace a cell phone to a house not even to a street.

This was driving me mad when I was watching it. They kept saying the phone was used at his house when they can't trace it to a house.


I spent 8 months on remand last year before being found not guilty. The police officers reminded me of the ones who interviewed me in that they had already made their minds up and were very smug. Will never forget the police officers face when I got the not guilty!

I've listened to hundreds of hours of police station interviews under caution and was always amazed about how easily people slipped out of the 'no comment' advice. After all the questions about the alleged crime being successfully 'no commented' the cops say something like "And have you been married to Susan for eight years?" and the accused replies that her name is Sarah or that it's been eleven years and suddenly they're in a conversation. And it all breaks down.

On tonight at 9. Domestic abuse and harassment

Hope there's less no commenting this time. I want to see someone talk themselves into/out of the shit

It's fucking dry saying 'no comment' over and over again for long periods of time. The cops know this all too well and they have their little tricks. You have to sit there and keep reminding yourself that anything they say, any question they ask, is all part of the stitch up. Then it can be quite fun to watch them mentally going through their 'big book of ways to get people to talk in an interview' with increasing annoyance.

Looking interesting tonight....'What would Tom Cruise do?'

 

[Part 2]

Copper was shit at climbing that fence!

 

[wiskey]

When people ring 999 I can see where they are to about 3 metres (the newer the phone the better the location).

 

[Betsy]

Watched this by chance... was really good. Certainly seems that the way to go in police interviews is always 'no comment'.

Unfortunately it does seem like the guy they were interviewing quite likely was involved in conspiracy to murder and got away with it.

Agreed.. I gasped when it was said that he was innocent.

 

[Matysik]

All I know was in my case they could only trace my phone to a fairly large area. I did question why as I thought it would have helped me. Their response was that's all the information they could get.

 

[Dan U]

All these investigating officers, are they 'almost police' like PCSOs?

 

[Part 2]

She does look a bit Nicole Kidman!

 

[Dan U]

I like the way breaking in to your exes house and getting your tits out was styled out as totally normal.

Respect that.

 

[wiskey]

Well I know they can do more in other circumstances.

 

[wiskey]

This bloke is a nasty piece of work

 

[Dan U]

Yeah show took a turn didn't it

 

[5t3IIa]

That wasn't as good as the first one The plot was rubbish and the casting was half-arsed. No tension. Agree about the tits though.

 

[editor]

That window climbing "you know you want it" grinning lady was a bit on the scary side and the girlfriend beating bloke was a fucking beast.

 

[Matysik]

I thought this one was pretty boring.

That bloke has a lot of issues!!

 

[Matysik]

Well I know they can do more in other circumstances.

I think it might be easier on new phones like iphones. The police couldn't even get my texts that \I had deleted while they can do that on iphones

Looking interesting tonight....'What would Tom Cruise do?'

Thought she was quite attractive, but that wore off as soon as she started with the Tom Cruise bollocks.

 

[Gingerman]

This bloke is a nasty piece of work

A right charmer,what a 'catch' eh?'......

 

[ddraig]

E2a tonight's drug episode.

Shit! What a mare!! Imagine he was fucked losing that much
Twat

 

[Part 2]

It's like dumb criminals tonight! The meat shoplifting attempt was a joke aswell.

 

[Supine]

Having a neck tattoo is a bad plan if your a crim!

 

[Betsy]

I hope Darren stays clean...

 

[8115]

That drug dealing kid actually made me feel really sad.

They turn them off and take out the sim card now so you can't do that.
