Police asking for Personal details

Possibly thought you are stunningly beautiful and used their position to get the necessary information to stalk you.

He just wants to visit you later in year , maybe stay a few nights.
Did you ask for his name and address ?

On a more serious note , my wife has left a doughnut in the fridge the last two days, told me it's hers and I'm not to eat it.

Its one of the ones with custard in it , if she had said nothing , I wouldn't have noticed .Should I eat it and blame kids , dog , burglars , goldfish etc ?

Please help ..

At a check point one night just outside newry, a psni lady officer asked me when my birthday was.

August 30th I said.

She rolled her eyes to heaven and said "what year?"

I rolled my eyes up to heaven too, and said "every fcukin year" and drove off towards carlingford.

Correct answer is "I don't answer questions"

What ever response is givem then ask "Am I free to go"

If no...

"Are you detaining me?"

If yes...

"Under what law? For what purpose?"

If no...

"Then am I free to go?"

You have a right to silence even at an airport.

Excuse me?

Would you care to explain under what law that a police officer can request your phone number and detain you if you refuse?

I'm all ears....

As for rightly so, are you saying that you believe a police officer has the right to demand whatever titbit of information he/she seeks without any reason being given?

well how about the prevention of terrorism act perhaps as he was in the uk ? the misuse of drugs act ? the public order act ? or any number of other uk laws that aren't used here.

Correct, they can ask for a phone number but there is no obligation to answer. The officer must also have reasonable suspicion and quote under which law if asked.

The fact that some one wandering around a airport attracting the attention of some one who may or may not be airport police who are basically the same a the security man in Tesco, should be spoken to simply to see what their reaction would be.

My reaction is generally who are you and why do want to know?

Ever been stopped at a check point and asked where your coming from? do you really think the police man gives a tin **** where your coming from ? he usually wants to see if your drunk or extremely nervous or some other way acting strange.

Or looking for some reason to search your car. Saying nothing and presenting documents and refusing to ask further questions can often be to your advantage. For example, I have been doing a 3000 mile round trip working at festivals in the US recently - my truck is crammed with camping gear, answering "where have you come from" means giving the officer probable cause "they have drugs at music festivals" and a pain in the ass for me having to repack the truck. Being clear about my rights and not consenting to a search can save hassle, rather than causing it.

]I cant hep but wonder if your one of those extremely stupid freeman of the land plonkers.

I'm not. Do a search on Ben Gilroy in this forum.

with the completely flawed understanding of the justice and social systems of a few country

I'm pretty good on the US Constitution, especially the 1st, 2nd and 4th amendments. I lived in the UK for more than half my life.

all the while going to state funded collage

Nope

living in state subsides housing and or drawing dole.

In the US. C'mon.

but sure what ever keeps ya happy eh

Perhaps you might actually think about what your rights are, rather than just doing as you are told. I'm happy to be protected by the US Constitution rather than living in the proto-police state that is the UK (and Ireland which is increasingly becoming one too.)
