On the I can't take the complaint. You can complain directly to the police/other organisation (see ‘Who can I complain about?’ below for a list of the other organisations) or via the IOPC. If you complain via the IOPC, your complaint will be sent direct to the organisation involved. They will assess your complaint and contact you about how it will be handled. The IOPC will not be involved with this initial assessment of your complaint. You can and are making the complaint direct to him. He has to take it. Not only that, since he's been told, he has to report the officer internally or he breaks section 10 of his code of ethics. However, in practice, the IOPC route to report the complaint is the way to go.

[@paulraper1]

It is a parking offence for any vehicle to park on double yellow lines unless it's an emergency service vehicle attending an emergency. The police CAN be ticketed for parking offences. The police excuse of there not being enough room in their car park is NOT a valid exemption simply because the yellow line parking restrictions were introduced to limit parking so any emergency vehicle could not be obstructed from getting near to an emergency, eg fire engine has to have so much of a road clear of parked vehicles along it's length. If the council has told it's wardens to ignore infractions by the police they are technically in the wrong, ANY vehicle can become an obstruction in an emergency. Also, the police should only allow marked police vehicles to park in their yard. If i was that cars owner i would be PISSED. Great video as usual. Yet another pompous git in the reception.

[@philliplester1741]

Dead right. The police should not have merged stations if the building and car parks were not fit for purpose. That’s not the responsibility of the public, that’s dipsticks deciding to merge when they shouldn’t. “Is there space in the car park for the extra vehicles?” “No, we’ll just park on the double yellows and blame the lack of space.” Great logic.

In 1994 I used to live just up the road from this nick, and having found an empty handbag in one of the Sainsbury's trolleys I thought I'd hand it in as the police station was on my way home. They were already dealing with a man who had had valuable stuff stolen from his car, and had found the thief's toolkit left behind in it - a useful clue, you might have thought, for fingerprints etc. I waited while the desk sergeant filled out the report form with the chap, noting down times, places etc , and finally congratulating the man on bringing it in and thanking him for helping out the police. As soon as the man left, though, right in front of me and with no attempt to hide it, he tore up all the paperwork he'd just filled out and threw it in the bin along with the toolkit. He then turned to me with a sarcastic smile, knowing I had seen him do this, and asked "And how can I help YOU today, sir?" That was when I finally realised how the police really operate.
