Conspiracy to Pervert the Course of Justice, Collusion to manipulate laws.

It's all very well you encouraging him to fight this but it's not eating you up everyday. Until you have gone through it you'll never know. If he gets a fighting fund going the DSS WILL take it as income so unless he has a solicitor on a no win no fee basis I suggest he let's it go. He is not doing his health any good I am sure of that.

Yup I hear ya snooks, and agree that personal health MUST take top priority - but Steve asked for encouragement to continue. We merely complied.

But it's his decision to make, and I would certainly support any decision to simply 'let it go' if that's what he wants or even has to do.

Wow! ...this was *cough* interesting to read!



CODE OF CONDUCT FOR POLICE OFFICERS(1)

a) The primary duties of those who hold the office of constable are the protection of life and property, the preservation of the Queen’s peace, and the prevention and detection of criminal offences. To fulfil these duties police officers are granted extraordinary powers; the public and the police service therefore have the right to expect the highest standards of conduct from them.

b) This Code sets out the principles which guide police officers’ conduct. It does not seek to restrict officers’ discretion: rather, it aims to define the parameters of conduct within which that discretion should be exercised. However, it is important to note that any breach of the principles in this Code may result in action being taken by the organisation, which, in serious cases, could involve dismissal.

c) Police behaviour, whether on or off duty, affects public confidence in the police service. Any conduct which brings or is likely to bring discredit to the police service may be the subject of sanction. Accordingly, any allegation of conduct which could, if proved, bring or be likely to bring discredit to the police service should be investigated in order to establish whether or not a breach of the Code has occurred and whether formal disciplinary action is
appropriate. No investigation is required where the conduct, if proved, would not bring or would not be likely to bring, discredit to the police service.

Honesty and integrity

1. It is of paramount importance that the public has faith in the honesty and integrity of police officers. Officers should therefore be open and truthful in their dealings; avoid being improperly beholden to any person or institution; and discharge their duties with integrity.

Fairness and impartiality

2. Police officers have a particular responsibility to act with fairness and impartiality in all their dealings with the public and their colleagues.

Politeness and tolerance

3. Officers should treat members of the public and colleagues with courtesy and respect, avoiding abusive or deriding attitudes or behaviour. In particular, officers must avoid: favouritism of an individual or group; all forms of harassment, victimisation or unreasonable discrimination; and overbearing conduct to a colleague, particularly to one junior in rank or service.

Use of force and abuse of authority

(1)See Schedule 1 to the Police (Conduct) Regulations 2004, updated 2009.

4. Officers must never knowingly use more force than is reasonable, nor should they abuse their authority.

Performance of duties

5. Officers should be conscientious and diligent in the performance of their duties. Officers should attend work promptly when rostered for duty. If absent through sickness or injury, they should avoid activities likely to retard their return to duty.

6. The police service is a disciplined body. Unless there is good and sufficient cause to do otherwise, officers must obey all lawful orders and abide by the provisions of Police Regulations. Officers should support their colleagues in the execution of their lawful duties, and oppose any improper behaviour, reporting it where appropriate.

7. Information which comes into the possession of the police should be treated as confidential. It should not be used for personal benefit and nor should it be divulged to other parties except in the proper course of police duty. Similarly, officers should respect, as confidential, information about force policy and operations unless authorised to disclose it in the course of their duties.

8. Officers must report any proceedings for a criminal offence taken against them. Conviction of a criminal offence or the administration of a caution may of itself result in further action being taken.

9. Officers must exercise reasonable care to prevent loss or damage to property (excluding their own personal property but including police property).

10. Whilst on duty(2) officers must be sober(3). Officers should not consume alcohol when on duty unless specifically authorised to do so or it becomes necessary for the proper discharge of police duty.

(2)For senior officers and superintendents, "on duty" includes any period when the officer is off duty but has agreed to be available for recall to duty to deal with matters, which might occur within the area(s) he/she has agreed to cover. It does not apply to the general 24-hour responsibility that senior officers and superintendents have for their own command area/department.

(3)An officer who is unexpectedly called out for duty should be able, at no risk of discredit, to say that he or she has had too much to drink.

11. Unless on duties which dictate otherwise, officers should always be well turned out, clean and tidy whilst on duty in uniform or in plain clothes.

12. Whether on or off duty, police officers should not behave in a way which is likely to bring discredit upon the police service.

Too bad they weren't up to speed on their code of conduct in dealing with you.

The one that smacks me between the eyes is Item 9 -

9. Officers must exercise reasonable care to prevent loss or damage to property (excluding their own personal property but including police property).



So I'd hope you can make additions and amendments to your PCC submission (and you're not out of time do do so) by marrying-up each or even the MAIN items of your complaint to this Code of Conduct that is UK legislation/law at this Schedule 1 of the The Police (Conduct) Regulations 2004 (S.I. No. 645) (as amended).

Please note that these Regs AS AMENDED are NOT available on the usual National Archives website where they state quite clearly,
"Status:This is the original version (as it was originally made [in 2004] ). UK Statutory Instruments are not carried in their revised form on this site."

But the version of the Code of Conduct you've obtained Steve appears to be the up-to-date one.


****

(Point of general info - the (S.I. No. 645) just means "Statutory Instrument Number 645" and when used in conjunction with the year they were made (ie 2004 in this case), that's used by lawyers, Courts, archivists etc to identify precisely which item is being referenced, sought after etc.
So it's very often written as "2004 SI No. 645").

Rob, there are a few there I'd really like to call them to task on, that's for sure!


Btw, I am doing stuff regarding my complaints etc; in the background so-to-speak, just not posting about what it is, as I want to keep my cards very close to my chest



I wonder if they like surprises ?

lol this beats a daft hobby


Glad you're not bored with it yet Steve
Contact me if needed my friend

Have you looked into the possibility of setting up Filesoup as a registered NFP company or Trust? That might allow Filesoup as it's own entity to accept donations to fund to help defend you etc...not sure on all the legalese...especially with you being in a different country...but I believe there are ways to protect Filesoup, and yourself as CEO...if this makes sense to anybody...please feel free to expand on what I've suggested here.

The letter I received from Avon & Somerset Police in response to the claim for damages to my seized property



Rules, Procedures and Laws... every one of us is expected to abide by and adhere to them, or they will punish us in the name of Justice.

They on the other hand can unreservedly lie, cheat, hide, manipulate, use and abuse everything and everyone for their own nefarious needs.

Justice!

IT STINKS ............ If you're supposed to be some master criminal why would you have broken equipment ??... ACAB and until you're on the wrong side of them you don't see it ... I have fallen out with close friends over my harsh criticism of the police , however I have seen 1st hand how "above the law" they actually are .. They should be held to a higher moral and legal account as our supposed guardians, instead they will happily lie , manipulate and deceive to "protect the standing of the FORCE" SCUM ...

I got a copy of the actual police search and seizure video.

The following images are screenshots from the video which they began to shoot immediately after they entered my property, on it you see and hear them arresting me and continues recording their search of the premises, after I had been removed to the police station.

The quality of the images isn't great, I've no idea what technology they were using for video recording, but from the screenshots you can see that the computers, peripherals and the like were not in a very poor state of repair or damaged prior to the police seizing them, this is proof that they are lying.

They police were responsible for the safe keeping and transporation of my property, Officers must exercise reasonable care to prevent loss or damage to property, this clearly did not happen as putting sensitive computer equipment either seperately or together just in a plastic bag is far from responsible or taking reasonable care, it is totally inadequate as is clearly proven in this case.

In the video recording, you can clearly see that the upstairs window was closed, on my return home after release, the window was open and the property left insecure which a neighbour will also confirm, again, proof that they are lying.

Throughout the video you can clearly hear my dog whimpering and whining, obviously due to the distress their presence was causing him, a neighbour will confirm that my dog is usually very quiet, but on this day he heard my dog barking all afternoon, proof that they are lying.

It is obvious and really goes without saying that all of them, Avon & Somerset police, FACT, the CPS, the IPCC, the investigators have been and are colluding with each other, they are dishonest and therefore completely untrustworthy. This whole thing has been an utter fiasco from start to finish and they are now all fradulently working together trying to cover it up.

If ever I needed a big win on the lotto so I could fight this and see proper justice done, now would be the right time! ...Either that, or someone with the appropriate qualifications and knowledge, please come forward and help me fight this.

Hi Geeks,

Regardless of how badly you've been treated by different agents and agencies of the State, including advisory lawyers, I urge you to have faith in the judicial system and pursue this issue via the Courts as best you can using what facts and resources you currently have at your disposal.

I've alerted our friends (specifically Andy) at TorrentFreak of your horrendous update, and I expect they'll be in touch with you soon.

Can UK subjects pursue a private prosecution on Legal Aid I wonder?
I advise you seek advice from a variety of different firms of lawyer until you find one knowledgeable enough to take up your case with confidence.

These days, finding a decent lawyer can be as troublesome as finding decent shoes. It's often a painful, time-consuming process

Hey, thanks for the update though

I'm sad to come on and read this, but I still feel have to stay with my previous advice which I know is contrary to the majority here.

Yes the police are obviously lying. We all know you were wronged, Steve. But my greatest fear is for what this futile fight is doing to you. I think you should let it go. 'They' have decades of experience in thwarting efforts to make them accountable. It's a system you cannot change. The more you fight, the more you stress, anger and harm yourself, your own health and financial circumstances. To persist will only make them hone their skills at obfuscating the facts. They won't stop. This won't end until you let it.

There is no man made justice. I believe there is a higher power that all will have to answer to someday and I have to turn things like this over to that fate, karma, or divine retribution . . . whatever you want to call it. For me it is more important to know that I conducted myself with with honesty and integrity and let those who did not, suffer their own consequences. I know that for the people who cheated and lied in this entire process, their deceit spills over into all aspects of their daily lives and all is not well with them. They cannot be happy . . . but you can. Let it go.

I realize I don't come to FS much - I only have time to lurk - and even then just a few topics from time to time... this one included - but I have followed this whole sad story from time to time... and I have to say amen to what PJB said. The gov't drones you have been dealing with have spent years doing this stuff - and the fact that you've gotten off without a $1+ mil judgement and/or years in prison is astounding. What happened to you is EXACTLY why I got out of the business side of running FS or other sites like it. I just didn't want to end up dealing with the law - the US gov't would probably be worse to deal with than the UK one!

I also stopped using BT and so I lost all passion for "the game" even though I loved the people and community we had built here and am amazed every time I come back with how much it's still stuck around. I just wanted to at least post once to say amen to what PJB said and pop in and let you know the badger still lives.

Hope you get to feeling better, and again - sorry to see what you have gone through.

Sorry to go off topic Geeks / Steve....

Hyrle. I just wanted to say hi & that it's really nice to see you again Hope things are going well for you. Still think of you at times & don't think I could ever forget.

Steve....seems like ages since we've had chat. If you gimme a ring one evening I'll log into skype so we can chat on there (got a workaround sorted now until I get the rest of what I need to build a new tower)

Nice to see the badger is still kicking..and richmm too.. and Geeks...and Pink.. hope all are well.

and I still pop in from time to time... Hope all is well Steve...

Ditto

Wery quiet here :-( I miss the old filesoup. But I hope you are well Steve
