Police today

[clapham_gull]

I would suggest it's a London thing. I've had to get used to having a spaniel giving me the once other every few months when leaving a tube station. Before anyone suggest terrorism it's nothing to do with that at all, simply the odd 'initiative' they do every now and then. Really it's a case of them stretching the laws as far as they can or as it was explained to me by at the time 'to keep the scum off the streets'.

For it's worth the excellent sussex police think the behaivour of their London colleagues to be a bit odd too.

The Emirates has sniffer dogs now and again.Probably to stop terrorism as well as possession of illegal drugs.

OR, and this is may seem a bit nuts but bear with me - give them your name, smile, allow them to search you to prove you aren't carrying any weapons or drugs, politely explain why they have no need to be searching you, and then be allowed to go on your way...

Why stop there ATFC Seagull ? How about a deep anal-probing whilst a police dog licks your balls - that will put a smile on your face maybe.

Section 60 advice !

They have no legal power to force you to give them your name and address. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES give it to them: it will be kept on file for SEVEN years. When asked, say "NO COMMENT".

You sure? I got this at Everton last season, and when asked my name I didn't say "No Comment" as that angers me (One reason why I stopped watching The Bill), but words to those affect. When I said that, he then started threatening me with an £80 fine (£80 I simply couldn't afford), so I gave all my details etc etc..

ATFC, I can see where you're coming from..but when it does actually happening it's one of the most frustating things there is. Espically when you know more times than not the Copper is just a Jobsworth Power-Whore tosser.

Durlston, you mean the ground, right? There was a few outside the away end, this season. Cute little things, they were.

 

[LA1972]

The police can search you under section 60 but you DO NOT have to give them your details unless they think you have been involved in a crime and explain that they think you have been involved in a crime. The police are meant to uphold the law not make it up on the spot. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR DETAILS and dont let them use their bully-boy scare tactics on you. Always remain calm and polite

Nice one - will bare it in mind, should it happen again.

Seems like a few young lads on here were stopped & search, which is OTT especially if they were picking on the young'uns.

Yeah that was me they thought we were there to have fights

Its not working - Palace fans just tell the OB their name is Nigel.

One of the main lads of Tottenham's firm i know got slashed across the face on the train coming back from Birmingham last week.Sounded f***ing nasty.

There are sniffer dogs at Brighton station at least once a month. So I would not hold Sussex police in such high regard. I have been stopped and searched there three times. Of course I am not stupid enough to try and take anything through Brighton station anymore (I have never had anything illegal on me) but several of my mates have been caught. All for a bit of weed, it is a complete waste of time.

They have no legal power to force you to have your photograph taken. Do not allow them to do this. This too will be kept on file for SEVEN years. Keep your head turned away, or put your hand in front of your face.

They have no legal power to ask you to remove any item of clothing in public view, OTHER THAN that which is concealing your identity. Any facial masking can be confiscated.

If you are asked to remove coats/jumpers etc, REFUSE OUTRIGHT. They have no legal power to search wallets, purses, inside small pockets etc. This is an S60 search, for weapons only. If they ask to search wallets, purses, inside small pockets etc, REFUSE OUTRIGHT.

All very well in theory but have you ever tried this response? You'll more than likely get locked up for a few hours on a trumped up charge

Anyway, Section 60's are so yesterday... today's police favourites are Section 27's where they can f*** you off from a specified area (city centre etc...) for a certain amount of time and if you're caught there in that time, you're nicked..

Apparently one of the police had been searching a Brighton fan just before us, who then offered him his mobile number,which we had a bit of a laugh about

Yeah, cos that OB "Brighton are all poofs" humour is HILARIO

f***ing hell - know ya names eh.

Sammy was on my train up to Wolverhampton yesterday. He goes everywhere now!

Not sure about KR, though mate.

Not TT (not sure he goes anymore, saw him at Pompey Away, but that's about it) either, I got a phone call from a mate about it saying that he didn't get 'cut' anyway.
