@ListerLawrence @JeremyClarkson I had two Vectra Cs. One being a boring 1.8 and the other a 3.2 V6. The 3.2 was a very comfortable motorway cruiser.

@Hare_Witch @DailyMail These are the results of an inquiry.

@l_i_n_d_z__ Because I've had knee surgery and sometimes I want something without impact 🤷🏻

@ltsiver @CNviolations To be fair, theres no way I'm ruining the view of the hills from my bedroom window by whacking an AC unit on it.

@waxiesdargle @wakeyred @mick_g_w @TheNorfolkLion There's nothing said by the officer that suggests they weren't going to get the moped back. The officer was suggesting that it be lifted for forensics though the owner said they did just wanted it back.

@de33501 @InspGadgetBlogs Because 8 single crewed officers can attend 8 jobs. Nevermind that it'll take them at least twice as long to do the paperwork for it, and often will have to find another officer available should an arrest be needed. The quality of work from double crews tends to be better too.

@IokSotto @InspGadgetBlogs It would have to be clearly well overboard and disproportionate force used for that to happen.

[Mike Charlie @mickydoos]

@T0tal_Sickness @TheNorfolkLion I will imagine that defence has been used before.

[Mike Charlie @mickydoos]

@dodge_maggie @TheNorfolkLion @Catoiswatching Not specifically, no. You would have to knowingly have done so.

So that's either knowing it's there in the first place and knowing or reasonably suspect it to be stolen

[Mike Charlie @mickydoos]

@nilihus99124 @TheNorfolkLion Trespass is not a criminal matter. So no, they wouldn't force him to commit an offence.

[Mike Charlie @mickydoos]

@MajorFoe @TheNorfolkLion It's a skit fgs...

[Mike Charlie @mickydoos]

@SimonKelly14 @GeorgeYorks @Bertiesghost411 @TheNorfolkLion Retaining is part of "handling" stolen goods. But you would have to show that they have performed some action to do so. Just being in their garden isn't enough. Defence will easily claim it was there unknowingly.

[Mike Charlie @mickydoos]

@SoulStrat @ArabDas31313 @TheNorfolkLion Knowingly handling stolen goods is a crime yes. But if a person has no knowledge it's in their garden, how are they guilty of an offence?

[Mike Charlie @mickydoos]

@Samatyorkshire @InspGadgetBlogs Can't even if we wanted to. Criminal offence to do so or incite others to.

[Mike Charlie @mickydoos]

@sp8y1981 @waychee1 Simply put, it's contingency planning. I.e If XYZ happens, based upon this assessment of threat and risk of it actually happening, do we have sufficient to deal with it?

If the answer is no, more officers.

[Mike Charlie @mickydoos]

@sp8y1981 @waychee1 This happens week in, week out. Unfortunately, unless senior police officers have a crystal ball, they cannot foresee exactly how many officers they need. Having far too few officers is of course worse than having some that weren't needed.

@Truth12123 @m77kat77 @choolookingat @metpoliceuk @HeidiBachram @uprising_1 Its almost like suspects will go out their way to evade police.

[Mike Charlie @mickydoos]

@choolookingat @metpoliceuk @HeidiBachram @uprising_1 He was wanted already for offences in Birmingham. Do keep up.

[Mike Charlie @mickydoos]

@WoodlandNomad Is the tone on the room with us?
