You complained that it was first come first served, in that the first investigation will need to be completed before yours can begin.
This is false.
That's what you need to complain about. A new investigation can commence with a different OIC whist the first one is ongoing.
If your call was given to me - I would investigate it from the off. I would also be able to find your phone within seconds if its in police property.

So you literally just go with what the complainant says then? You don't apply any discretion, judgement or weighting at all, you don't have any guidelines - is that what you're saying?
Of course we do - we gather evidence to support or negate the offence. This will include the other person's account. This is the investigation part.
But what if there is no other evidence available apart from the reporting persons statement? And the accused person refuses to give an account? Its one word against nothing - where do we go from there?
The judge was mentioned by SnapeAlways - they suggested a judge has said to a reporting person not to look at things in a public forum if he finds them harassing. So this could be used for the misogynistic whatssap groups could it? And for posts like the 'No TERFS on our Turf ' mentioned by a poster earlier on?

Yes, you can give your evidence at court - but the point is, there might not be a need to go to court if you could give an account prior. If you give an account at court, the trial will be adjourned so the alibi can be examined.
Its just wasting your own time, when you could have given your account in the police interview earlier. If it checks out you could be NFA'd there and then.
Its a vol interview - if the police are going to arrest you, they need a necessity to arrest. If you haven't attended for the vol interview and they have a necessity to arrest - they may elect to do so. They may not. It depends what the necessity is. We don't know what the actual report is against KJK, so we don't know what the necessity could be - do they need certain acts within PACE which you can only do whilst under arrest for example?
This is an historical case - the complaint against KJK has gone home and made the report after the event - therefore its classed as an historic event. Prompt & effective arrest necessity will only really apply to ongoing offences - emergency calls to police where fights are still on going, burglars caught in the act etc etc. Just because you have a current ongoing investigation - you don't have a necessity to arrest under 'prompt & effective'.
So this is an historical case which has ended up on an event queue and probably sat there for days/weeks before the OIC has had a chance to look at it.
So if this case is just about 'hurty words' - what were they?
You must know if you have suggested this - so what has the reporting person said?

Have you tried saying you're grossly offended, @Bearyhumcrack ?
Strewth! - being grossly offended is for mal comms, not S2 harassment.
So what are the mal comms aspects of it?
