Fuming!!!

[HeyWayne]

With the police!!

A while ago you may remember me complaining about a neighbour who parks his campervan across the path, completely blocking it.

Well, the police visited him and told him to move it - which he did back in February. It has been bliss for a few months.

Anyway, a few weeks ago it re-appeared and has sat there ever since.

I decided to contact the police again (the dude in question is not exactly approachable) and was quite polite, stated that I didn't want to waste police time etc etc and asked nicely if they would have a word.

Well, just got back from the plot and as I got out of the car heard "excuse me, have you got a problem with my campervan?!"

Denied all knowledge for fear of a mid-day altercation - but the dude in question talked about details that I had sent in the email to the police that I was assured would "not be disclosed to any resident". There is no way he would have known these things unless having been told them by the PC in question!

I'm dropping the matter now because if the police now contact him again, he'll know it was me and relations in the street could get ugly, and he's likely to take it out on LW too.

Sometimes it's a wonder people don't want to help the ****ing police!!! And they wonder why they don't get the help they want/need!!

I've just lost a lot of respect for the police tonight.

Sorry to rant here, but it seems that making any complaint to the police will not help matters!


RRRRRAAAARRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats bang out of order and i would be fuming as well!!!! not great at times is it! why cant people just have respect in the first place, or perhaps they werent taught it and yep its not worth the aggro you or LW would receive .

I'm sure there's a breach of the Data Protection Act in there, if he had sufficient information to suspect you specifically.

I had a similar thing happen with a complaint about a neighbours constantly barking dog when we lived in Derbyshire. The idiots from the Council sent my details of the complaint to the person i was complaining about!!! Neat huh!?

My deepest commiserations.

Given the the PC in question allegedly considered me a "busybody with nothing better to do" and that he had to "waste his time coming out here to deal with this" - I'm not confident that anything constructive would come of it.

I can't categorically say that he said those things, but it seems likely.

totally carp isn't it. You could lodge an official complaint as this could have potentially put you and famile in danger. What a twonk! I lost respect for police years ago unfortunately. I was being 'hassled' by someone in my local town. I complained to the police in person. They looked at me (skinead, cutoff jeans and a tank-girl t-shirt and pierced nose) and told me it must have been 6 of one and half a dozen of the other!! She beat me up 3 days later.

I feel for you mate i lost all faith in the police last year when my partner got assaulted by her ex and there was nothing they could do about it as he said she attacked him!!!

She wouldn't of and he only thought that up after the police caught up with him 3 months later and they would not go any further because they said it was tit for tat!!!!!

When she called the police as soon as it happen and her friend did and i also did and they did nothing.

Even asked her to go the the station the next day to give a statement instead of coming to us

hope you don't get any bother over this

HW, sorry to hear of your troubles. I had an injunction against my ex husband after he had broke into my house in the early hours of the morning. He smashed the back door down, pretty scary, (amongst others things he had done.) He was quite rightly arrested and an injunction put on him not to approach me, the house, my son's school etc etc until the court hearing, which was in 3 weeks time. He constantly phoned my landline, mobile and appeared in the street on several occasions. Nothing happened despite me reporting this to the police on several occasions. They even came out to get statements. They said they couldn't locate him! What a joke! Let's put it into perspective, this was the same person who held a bread knife to my throat. I was pretty scared!

Puts my "issue" into perspective!! Crikey.

I'm going to go round in a while (maybe not tonight) and have a chat with the dude - clear the air. Can't be doing with aggro.

Just mad at the Police - well, this PC dude in particular.

Hw, I was having a little rant there (sorry!) I wasn't being patronising or anything re - your troubles with the neighbour. I mean't putting into perspective re - the fact that despite what ex husband had done (and previously) that the police didn't take on board my concerns. I was mad with the police also.

Good idea. Maybe blame the Police for 'stirring up trouble' between neighbours? Afterall you was just doing what they suggested and contacting them 1st, you'd rather have just spoke to the bloke? Well it might work, he'll know what a bunch of l0sers the Police are?!

Don't worry, didn't think you were patronising or owt like that.

Pretty much what I was going for to be honest. There are other people that use the path.

Has he moved it?
