My one and only brush with the law, a misunderstanding about public/private property, resulted in me spending a night in Fulham nick. It wasn’t too bad, really, but there again it was Fulham. There are probably worse police cells to be locked up in. Do you have any good experiences of London police stations a...

Can anybody tell me why the police/council don’t seem to be in the least bit interested in trying to stop the illegal and extremely blatant trade of stolen bikes at Brick Lane market? Not only does it piss me off that I can’t feel confident in leaving my bike locked up round there any more – its pu...

If you answered yes, then you were probably one of the ill-fated 3 hire coaches that set out from London, Euston for an anti-war protest in Gloucestershire on 22 March 2003. We’re now looking for the people who were on board one of these coaches, because they are now very likely eligible for compensation. ...

I don’t often write many bulletins on here, but after last night’s shenanigans I felt I had to air my views. I was traveling back on the 29 about ten o’clock last night when all hell broke loose. A rather well dressed girl got on looking a little tipsy and coked up she then proceeded in a tirade of...

When I was young I remember going to a really good auction which was run strangely by the police. I think TfL lost property do a similar type of auction where stuff that’s unclaimed for so long is sold off really cheaply. If anyone can shed some light on where these auctions are and at what time it would be a massi...

My girlfriend and I were returning home last night and saw a young guy loitering next to a car. He was about 17 and may as well have been carrying a card saying ‘I’m Dodgy’. Sure enough we watched as he tried a handle of the nearest car. I hoped it was his/he was waiting for a mate but, when we ...

Simple one really – walking past Mile End tube last night, saw two police horses (with riders, obviously). Not really doing anything, just relaxing in the cab rank, giving the cab driver behind a lovely view of one of them taking a steaming dump. Why were they there? Are there stables in the vicinity?

So driving down and then back up the A1 just now there is a heck of a lot of police officers / cars / cones etc on Barnet Way (the bit between Hill Mill and Borehamwood) with a big electronic display board saying “Red Way – No Stopping” and both the car-parks sealed off. I can’t fathom wha...

So, I’m walking down the top end of Farringdon Road, alongside Mount Pleasant Sorting Office this morning; and I hear a bunch of sirens. They are obviously coming up Farringdon Road, and turn right into Roseberry Avenue towards Angel. Except, they are not your typical police or other services. They are no...

I’m located in SW London and I seen a number of matt black, 4×4 vehicles with CCTV little cameras on the roof. The windows have riot van-like mesh over the smoked glass making it practically impossible to see the driver. On the sides they have signs written in yellow saying something like “surveilla...

Yesterday I was waiting for a bus outside Fulham Broadway tube station when one of the most amusing scenes it has ever been my good fortune to witness unfolded in front of me. First, a car pulls up beside the kerb just short of the bus stop and sits there with its hazard lights on. About half a minute later, a...

One of my gripes is the crime in London and my friend, who is a Special Constable, works in the Met and I think it is great that he spends up to 4 hours a week patrolling London. He has inspired me to be a member of the Police Community Citizens Panel (they will ask us for our views on the police) and plan to help ...

No, not that one. Ian Blair, Commissioner of the Met. He’s been grilled by the Metropolitan Police Authority over the Menezes shooting, as reported in this BBC article. He says “we’re not guilty of complete idiocy”. Oh, OK. Only partial idiocy then. I think that the incident itself was ...

A photograph of two young girls dancing naked has been seized by detectives in Gateshead, the day before it was due to be displayed at an art gallery. The photograph belongs to Internet-hating superstar, Sir Elton John. Northumbria Police reckon it may be porn. Sir Elton reckons it’s art. What do you say? Do you giv...

While happily wandering the back streets of Finsbury Park, I came across this sign, with what looked suspiciously like blood dribbled on it: LOCAL POLICE INFORMATION: Covert Police operation operating in this area. Hmmm. This must be that other meaning of covert, then – of being really bloody obvious. Would...
