Fire, police and ambulance vehicles have no exemption against the horizontal flashing red lights used at level crossings/airports/outside fire stations (unless it's on a motorway as part of the red X sign). In short, if the lights are flashing then emergency drivers will stop and wait. They may...

The NMC isn't as militant as some regulators, but even so it's difficult to give an exact answer. It all depends on context. Someone who was prosecuted for this kind of offence, lied about it to their employers, didn't inform the NMC and didn't show any remorse or insight into their actions may...

I haven't posted here for a while for various reasons, but I thought I would share my thoughts on this one. The police in London work open-channel. This means that all officers within the borough (or in the case of the BTP, their division) can hear jobs being sent out to response officers, and...

But we all know how much you like an argument! :lol: I would agree with that. Although if you were recruiting two English teachers, would you take the one with a first from York, or the one with a 2:1 from Newcastle but had also worked as a teaching assistant part time/worked with special...

As someone who has just graduated with a 2:1 (0.25% off a first, but there you go!), with a job due to start imminently and already with the weight of professional responsibility, I agree with Priti Patel and RichmondCommuter. It may be difficult to accept, but employers do not just want a good...

What paperwork and risk assessments would they be?

Well said!

If I'm wrong, I'm happy to be corrected. That is, after all, how you learn!

Assault occasioning ABH is an indictable offence. I can't remember off the top of my head the exact definition of ABH (I'm away from my computer now), but I think it is an injury that is "more than trivial or trifling".

Like I said, no court will accept that a reasonable belief that being grabbed by a store manager after walking out with goods you were not entitled to could be considered an indictable offence! The courts are very keen to restrict the use of the citizens arrest to prevent vigilante justice, and...

:D Nice try. Common Assault is still a summary only offence... http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/l_to_o/offences_against_the_person/#a07

As well as probably looking like a bit of an idiot, you did not have the power to make a citizens arrest. The power of a citizen's arrest applies only when the person is committing, or is reasonably believed to be committing, an indictable only offence. Common assault is a summary offence, and I...

Number 42 on the Z1 challenge is myself, feel free to put my full name in.

Other posters have covered Talltim's question adequately, but to add some more detail: One vehicle is a HART vehicle. These carry specialist rescue equipment, including rope rescue, water rescue and CBRNE. The staff are also specially trained in rescue techniques and mass casualty events...

Funnily enough I didn't use Wikipedia, I simply downloaded some PowerPoint presentations from my universities intranet (whilst I've still got access to an Athens account and whatnot I thought I may as well use it!). I think you will also find that the "man on the Clapham omnibus" has little...

Those two examples aren't in keeping with your original post. I agree in the first example, you could argue abandoned property (although your second example could be far more complex than the Theft Act in its entirety!). This bit is not true. "Use" and "value" are subjective terms. I may see no...

I own lots of things that are no longer of use to me, but it would still be theft if someone took them. You need to prove that properity belonging to another was dishonestly appropriated with the intention of permanently depriving them of it (or depriving them of the value of it, in the case of...

I don't believe this to be true.

"Plane crash, didn't you notice it?"

The problem I have with CFRs and security staff attempting a METHANE report is that they are likely to get very hung up on each individual point and trying to find the most information out about each point before ringing, which negates the time saving. Sensibly the first emergency service...
