Unfortunately it's taken losing Sarah to such a horrific crime to ask such a question. But what are we supposed to do. Someone arrests you off duty and you don't know whether u can trust them due to this case. What would you do? Ring 999 and say I'm being arrested by so and so but I don't know if he's on duty or if he's dodgy please can you log it somewhere. I just want to know if I'm definitely being taken to the police station I feel unsafe. There should be some sort of law. But what could you do? You've got no chance. No chance of safety. It's scary.

@NiceGerbil

In the examples that came to your mind where quite a few victims turned out to be the aggressor, and the the one who attacked you?

What sex were the ones who claimed to be victims but weren't
And what was the sex of the victim who attacked you?

Let's go back to the specific examples that came to mind when you wrote your post.

Here's a specific recent example

Police tried to arrest the male (who had assaulted her). Then she attacked them.

It does happen
