Pissed Off

[nice 28]

Today a friend and myself had 3 undercover police officers come up to us and search us for no reason at all.

They searched our pockets and took down our details.

A couple of my mates got done aswell just down the road.

I asked him why they were doing this and he said that crime had been increasing in the area. It was things such as graffiti and car break-ins etc.

There were about 3 undercover cars doing laps around my area getting most of the teenagers in the areas details.

I am very pissed off at the fact that they came up and got our details for no reason. While they were doing this they could've been busting some other guy who was washing car windscreens on the side of the road (illegally), but no, instead they come up to us when we did nothing.

Are they allowed to do random checks like that??

Because if they aren't I'm ready to make a visit to the chief at the station.

I am seriously annoyed, why are they coming up to us when there are other crimes being commited that need attending to.

Dont police seriously have anything better to do.

Ah pipe down they were doing thier job, your 15 and the world is against you. I wouldnt worry.

When your old enough to own a house or have possessions of any worth, you'd care that this was being done aswell.

And yes, they are allowed to ask you questions. You dont have to answer, but you must give you name and address i believe.

ohh ok thats okay then.

If they are allowed to I don't mind as much.

But i thought that they weren't allowed to get your details and all that for no reason??

But it is still frustrating for them to come up to us when we were just walking.

[R31Nismoid]

Well they have reason, you posted it above...

said that crime had been increasing in the area. It was things such as graffiti and car break-ins etc.

Good to see them being proactive in crime prevention... instead of hiding behind bushes with radar guns.

is that a paint can in your pocket? or u just happy to see me?

[paulr33]

tbe idea of police is to provide a prescense in the community to "police" it so that crime does not occur

too many people think police are there to solve crimes. a detective does that, they detect why a crime occured after its occured.

police are there to 'police' the environment so nothing happens

Everyone bitches and moans when cops are doing their job but it involves you, but when someone breaks into your house or steals something of yours, who is the first person (organisation) you call hmmm let me think...... ah its the cops. But no one thanks them when they find your car or catch the person that breaks in and robs you.

Stop your sooking they are putting their life's on the line every single day for the public and are forever being criticised

I have a close working relationship with the police and trust me.. if u weren't doing something stupid in the first place they wouldn't have looked twice at you.

Guys relax I just got annoyed that they came up to us for doing nothing.

It's not like I didn't co-operate with them.

I'm not going to stop them from doing their job.

I was just making sure they are allowed to do that.

[justin911]

and if they werent allowed to do it what would happen ?

do you consider walking down a street as being something stupid??

you don't know what happened so your not to judge that we were doing something stupid.

We weren't even talking loud, and if you ask the other 30+ people that got there details taken down if they were doing something stupid, i would know there answer. I saw them questioning some other mates aswell and they werent doing anything stupid.

Oh well i'm over it now, but you my friend should not judge if you didn't witness it with your own eyes. I know that normally they wouldn't but in this case they did.

LOL

nothing really I just would've made a complaint for them unlawfully searching me. doubt that would have went very far though even if i did.

[justin911]

least they didnt beat you down with phonebooks

[Paradizzle]

Justin is just jealous he didnt get fondled.

[justin911]

why dont you go churn yourself over in the corner

Justin is just jealous he didnt get fondled.

[nice 28]

I pulled everything out of my pockets and pulled my pockets out so the guy searching me didn't let his shlong control where his hand went.

i wish the cops did that in my area. we have a park opposite our place and there are always kids making a sh1tload of noise at night. even tho we haven't been targeted yet, there's quite a lot of theft on our street and car break ins. i'm always worried about our car outside.

i've had my details taken down for standing outside my ex's (then gf) house waiting for her to come out. i wasn't even with friends.

The reason why details are taken down is so that if something occured in the area say 10min before or after the Police left they can come and see you to help them with inquiries as they know you where there...
