[@sapankhurst2015]

Why is the sergeant acting as judge? Surley his role is to gain evidence and pass on to the CPS who then make a decision as to the possibility of a successful prosecution. The letter of apology does not need to be accepted by the victim and the victim should have influence as to the progression of the case. Has the CAA been informed of the crime of endangering the flight of an aircraft directly? In my opinion the CAA must directly prosecute as a test case for public (UAV flyers) interest. If they do not it leaves the law invalid and so opens up the capability of individuals to abuse the rights of responsible flyers. Well done DJ for following this up and i hope it reaches a correct conclusion. 😎

That's not how it works. This is why there are so many criminals walking the streets.

I definitely agree with each point you make.

A very interesting update, DJ. I'm not really surprised at the decision reached by the police. Although pretty traumatic for you at the time, it was a fairly low-level "assault"/incident. I think the MD realised straight away that he'd overreacted and did back off quickly. He has apologised and now received some much-deserved public comeuppance. What I am surprised at, though, is the poor grammar used by two supposedly professional people in the update. PC Laura Steele wrote in her covering letter: "outside of" instead of outside, "libra chemicals" with no capitals, "Crime" which didn't need a capital and "Crime for assault" instead of Crime of assault. And MD Phil Carlson used very amateur/annoying repetition in his letter of apology. Employing "interaction" twice in his two-line second paragraph. And "future" twice in his closing one-line paragraph/sentence. Doesn't the guy possess a thesaurus?

@DJAudits Do you know why he wrote "Without Prejudice" or what it means? If you do not know what it means, then Mr Carson has used it in the wrong context (both parties need to know why it has been stated). It's a basic statement when the person/s are accepting their wrongdoings, it's to stop you, from taking him to a civil court and using it for financial damages against him. Meaning he did something wrong and is admitting it, BUT you cannot use that admission, in a civil court, as an admission of guilt (even though it is). A nice caveat to include in an admission of guilt, if done properly.

Yes, because they need a statement written out for the criminal process.

Why you were there and at what time, is irrelevant. It has nothing to do with the assault itself and are just trick questions to find something to get you on something. Never answer questions like that. And, here in The Netherlands we have an Ombudsman where we can go to if the outcome of a police investgation is not what you expect. They will review the case and correct or not correct the police decision. There's a onbudsman in the UK aswell.

I love that you’ve given this update. It’s very interesting to hear because I always wonder. Thanks.

Hang on ,,,, *”A Police Decision Maker ?”* That’s not even a thing. There was a serious crime committed & admitted that could have resulted with severe harm 🤦🏻

So you assault someone but as long as you apologise by letter and not even in person that's alright is it? What an absolute farce.

[@wintron]

Better stated as long as you give a “non-apology” everything is tied up.

[@ThinWhiteDude]

Given the way Big Phil acted in the original vid, I fully expected the apology letter to be written in crayon and smeared with a suspicious brown stain.

[@laurapirrit6722]

From the way he acted, I believe crayons would be age inappropriate.Even crayola recommend a higher level of maturity than he showed.

I agree especially the back and forth over the footage , Are the police tying to push the narrative that KZbin vids are not actual evidence of their conduct ?.

[@arkive11]

Also pass judgements down without a judge or trial, dictating who's guilty to what degree and what the suitable punishment is for the self admitted crime. Apparently full Audio, Video as well as a full Confession of Guilt still isn't enough to pass onto the courts. At least not to this "Decision Maker." How many women endured these "decisions" regardless of conclusive evidence?

Great update cheers DJ , totally annoyed though! What does it take to show a black and white clear incident , this puts police worn body cam footage into the toy box as far as I’m concerned, one email saying “we can’t be arsed” would have saved a lot of time and effort especially on your part👍

[@nicholaskay4162]

They probably didn't want to deal with the air navigation order because it would mean involving the CPS, I don't think the CPS are involved in cautions. They also likely had no knowledge of the air navigation and were too lazy to do the research.

Can you imagine how long the prison sentence would be if someone slapped a drone controller out of a coppers hand ? Typical two tier policing in my opinion.

[@davidharwood9552]

A very good point. I was always led to believe the police made a case file which was sent to the crown prosecution service to see if there was a case to answer. Now a police sergeant is judge and jury. Our Country England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 needs a better judicial system

[@russellstanford4584]

This really shocks me. As a father that has been through the family court I have lost every thing. My home of 16yrs my children my belongings my life. With out any evidence any where near like u have( no real evidence in fact) And u have to settle with an apology. This breaks me.

[@blacksheep1971]

Absolute piss take - they had no intention of siding with a scummy KZbinr - 2 tier policing in action! What if he had damaged your controller? What if it was in manual mode? Should be taken as seriously as if someone smashed the cockpit instruments to pieces in a jumbo jet!

[@arkive11]

They'll get on you about how many grams it is because of the "danger" But refuse to acknowledge that assaulting someone (which he admitted to.) who's flying causes a much larger hazard. It could go into a street or a no fly zone, forbid it actually hits anything. If I grab the steering wheel of a car away from the driver is He still responsible for what happens?

[@stevereed5046]

Hi DJ firstly thank you for keeping us all updated with this. Exactly what I expected to happen. The police have just swept under the carpet more or less saying go and do what you want to do. If you’ve got enough money you can get away with it. They just like a quiet life it’s things like this that make people hate and fear the police rather than respecting them. I don’t know anyone nowadays you respect them. I know a lot of people who feel we need another service to protect us from the police. Please keep the good work going, enjoy all your stuff. 45:24

Good of you to proceed ahead & trying to get justice for assaulting a member of Public while flying a drone, cant believe the outcome it be a different story if one of us Auditors had had hit a directors hand in that manner never mind flying a drone as well.

[@rogerborg]

Bloody hell, they did everything they could to wriggle out of prosecuting that, then they (effectively) no-further-actioned it. Now you have an admission of the crime, feel free to make a civil claim against the criminal.

[@Simon1981-q7k]

Two tier policing again well done dj thanks for the update

[@cannavaras]

Playing devils advocate, if he had no prior criminal history and he was honestly sorry for his actions, they could have given him a Community Resolution which would not have been recorded on the PNC...but a conditional caution is a step up from that and is recorded. So he will always have this on record and if he was to ever do something similar again it would be used against him. I think its a fair outcome and he will certainly have faced a lot of sleepless nights during the process.

[@Charlie1776_]

He should get 15 years! No parole.

[@rogerborg]

Indeed, you should think very long and hard before accepting a caution. I have little doubt that if this criminal had refused, then the police or the CPS would just have dropped it (or bungled it).

[@DQ940]

Good on you for pursuing this DJ. It is awful that you had to endure this aggression. I think this decision by the police is very disturbing. Surely it should be a decision for a court to decide what happens. Isnt that why we have the courts? What gives the police the right to decide who gets presented to the courts and who doesnt? Which apologies to accept and which ones not to? How do we know these decisions are being consistently applied? What public oversight is there of all of this to make sure that this power the police have is not being abused? Would an uneducated, non english speaking, poor man be given the same leniency? Somehow i think not. Can victims appeal the decisions of the police? And if not, why not? I can entirely understand an out of court disposal where both parties agree, but where the victim wants a prosecution to happen, and there is sufficient evidence to do it, then i dont see what right the police have to deny the victim that right. Who are they serving here? Also I think the way your request for consideration of the endangering aircraft offence was dismissed was really quite rude. At the very least you should have been offered an explanation of why that offence could not be prosecuted. If they dont even consider the offence it is no wonder nobody has ever been prosecuted for it!

[@johnferguson40]

Don't accept the apology and send a written complaint to the Home Secretary saying this sort of a disposal of a criminal assault and beating is not acceptable. Then the press. What have you got to lose?
