Gunner: My Life in Cricket

Product Information

Often, I have seen situations in which there may be a grey area as to whether Breach of the Peace is occurring, or whether a Breach of the Peace might imminently occur if an Officer does not intervene, but that was not the case here.

This however is not further explained in the statement as there was no evidence to state that he was involved in this original matter so a breach of the peace is not made out so no further actions as insufficient evidence. When asked about any previous convictions, Adam was upfront and honestly informed Mr Clasp of his sole previous conviction for drink driving.

Zac protested about the Officers taking his phone and remonstrated as to the strange change in circumstances, i. Ehab’s brother went into the house to retrieve the Warrant Card and as he did so PC Langford completely unnecessarily threatened Ehab, who had remained outside, with the words “ If he goes in and locks the door we are going to have to force entry and make it very difficult for you mate. PS Rees now approached Zac and asked whether they were “ In a different place now where we can have an adult conversation? Further insult was added to my client’s injury by the fact that although his complaint against PC Langford was upheld in quite striking terms, the officer was let off with little more than a disciplinary ‘slap on the wrist’ for what he had done, an outcome which put me in mind of a recent report in the Guardian, highlighting how the Police complaint system’s light touch was enabling dangerous officers.

In fact that was a manipulation of that power, as the relevant section of the Act relates to the power of constables to require individuals who are driving vehicles to stop and produce their documents – and Zac was not driving; the Officers had followed and watched as he got into his car, and it had not yet moved, albeit Zac had turned the engine on. A question which I am not frequently asked is: “Can sitting politely on a bench constitute a breach of the peace? Sadly, such an experience – yet another wrongful arrest at an airport – befell my client Imran, a Safety Inspector and man of unblemished character, in the circumstances which I will explain below.To compound Police culpability in this matter yet further, was the fact that Peter’s detention in custody, in excess of 10 hours, was supposedly so that he could be interviewed under caution, but no such interview ever took place, despite the Police having ample opportunity to do so. But what happens when a police officer decides to entirely forgo these professional and moral principles and lie?
