Hi I am going through a long going dispute with my neighbor  Lots of harassment involving calling the police constantly with false accusations.
Police came round last night because she said we was making lots of noise ( we was not) no law was broken and the police went but her children were constantly banging on the fence causing us alarm and distress.
I would like to film these children as proof but what are my legal rights?
I would be filming them in their garden from my window but wonder if that is against their human rights.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Get your grandfather to report this to his local police who should be able to assist. Try to arrange for you or someone able to support him such as another family member to be present when the police come.

what are the rules on my 89 year old granddad getting harassed by his grandson( my brother) ( heavily on drugs ) wanting money all the time, at least 3 times a week! It causes him great distress and alarm and I am really worried for his health! the family have tried everything possible but it wont stop and I am very worried he may hurt my granddad, He has been in prison before charged with possession and intent to supply class A drugs, would he go back inside for his actions we believe he is currently homeless and heavily on drugs again! we also know he has been stealing out of shops but have no proof of this? please help

In some circumstances it could be brought up. What are the details?

The DVLA did the same to me on my bike licence, thank god it wasn't my HGV

Hello,
I am a published author writing a thriller in which there are a few elements of UK police procedure, and would be grateful for some help.

Here is the scene. A British-based foreign  student has been involved in an act of suicide terrorism abroad. Her body is now in a mortuary in Cairo. She had been  sponsored to a UK university by a charitable foundation run by a BBC journalist, which helps refugees like her. She disappeared in the UK a year before the attack.  The journalist knew her well, and is shocked by the news of her involvement in terrorism.  In an informal discussion at the BBC with a senior police officer,  the journalist claims to know little of her activities, but is convinced she must have been an unwitting or unwilling participant.

However, the police suspect he knows more than he admits, and there is 3rd part evidence that he and the student may have had a brief relationship. Not satisfied with the answers given to the Detective Chief Superintendent during the informal  talk, he is called in to Paddington Green for an interview under caution. He is reminded of Perverting the Course of Justice, and the lesser charge of wasting police time. The Met is under particular pressure to find any co-conspirators, because the suicide crime has had multiple victims.

My questions are: Is there anything radically wrong about the above scenario? What level of police interview would the initial informal questioning be at with such a well-known journalist?  Would an interview under caution be the appropriate response? When someone well known is required to attend such an interview, would they receive a letter or a phone call giving them a time?
Any help would be gratefully received.
Many thanks 

View from a rural force.

The duty Inspector would have a 'Strat' (strategy discussion) with social services over the phone. During this conversation it will be decided what approach will be taken i.e. joint visit, social services only or police only.

Social services would only have one person on out of office hours so the most likely scenario would be the cops go first. As for male or female it will be whoever is on duty and available to attend.

It may even be a member of child protection unit that attends, legend has it they work as late as 10pm.

In essence the type of response will depend on what is being reported.

I was operating a bus service this evening and had a clown shining a green laser towards my direction. He wasn't discreet,he was shining from the doorway of the house he was in,what is the offence on such matter?

Someone made a car accident on my neighborhood by something similar.
Thanks god the driver just hit a tree and no one was harmed.
You should call the Police next time man.

Can't really add more to what has already been said, but in my experience (Met. Police) such calls from social workers are received around 1700 hours on a weekday, just as they are about to go home. That puts it squarely on the police to attend.

Initially it would be a response unit, maybe double crewed depending on whether or not the address was "known" to us. The initial response would be a "welfare check" on the child. If anything drastic was found then the children would be made subject of a police protection order and taken to a place of safety (usually the local police station, or if we are feeling beligerant the local social services office direct) for them to find alternative accomodation.

There would then be a joint social services / police investigation (in the Met we have the Child Abuse Investigation Team, but the counties may not have dedicated officers) which would take place slow time.

In my experience, it is VERY rare for social services to rock up with a case that is so urgent that they have obtained a court order to enter and seize a child at once. In fact, I've only dealt with one such case in 19 years in The Job.

Mainly, it would be the scenario above.

Hope that helps.
