To think police word of advice is just them admitting it didn’t meet legal threshold

[Divadown77]

As surely if they actually believed it would hold up in a court they would do it. Also the threats that get made such as if anymore reports come in things will be different surely it still might not meet legal threshold.

What you regard as provocation and what they police and crts deem provocation may well be completely different standards.
Without knowing what you did or you claim is provocation I can only give general advice.
Provocation is rarely a valid defence for a criminal act however it can be a mitigating factor when sentencing someone. However if you say punched someone for calling you names then it wont help you as name calling is no excuse for punching someone. On the other hand if you punch someone who is attacking your home or business it could get you a lighter sentence.
Basically its the context.
As for giving your side yes the police will listen to you and may use your words as an admission of guilt so think hard before you say anything to the police

Are you the person who complained about a welfare check? Housebound but didn’t answer the door?

Not according to the law.
You will get to give your version of events in court but it doesn't effect whether you have broken the law.
If the girl has illegal drugs and passes them on she is guilty of possession and possibly dealing.
If she can prove she was coherced and there is proof that she was coherced then that could affect the outcome. But unless she is very vulnerable and genuinely doesn't understand that she was doing something illegal she is culpable for her actions.

If the police are giving someone “ words of advice “ then they’re essentially telling you to stop doing whatever you’ have been doing which is a nuisance / offence. I have given words of advice to two neighbours who were in a dispute which started over wheelie bins and quickly descended into insults and no doubt would have finished up a scrap on the road. It’s bull shit nonsense that no one has time for but if they’d carried on I would have spent the relevant time unpicking the whole sorry saga and I would have put a case to the CPS for charging if relevant.

Not true. I know somebody who "kicked off" after getting a caution. Not a good idea, he ended up.getting charged and then found guilty and imprisoned.

Wanting drugs isn't a crime, supplying them is. If I serve alcohol to someone who is 17 because they want some it would be me who has committed the crime.

Well surely having them in your possession is illegal

Only if there’s an intent to supply.

Is that in any way related to your OP?

Seriously, you are too invested in whatever she’s doing. Does it affect you in any way? Far better to ignore, remove any opportunity for ‘provocation’ and get on with your life.

If the provocation was ‘she’s selling drugs to your family’ there are ways to report that.

shows her character no? That she took advantage of person with autism desperate for approval. Then called the poor woman a weirdo…

@Divadown77 so what?! None of this excuses whatever the police spoke to you about. It all sounds like silly schoolgirls. You’re giving yourself stress and anger for no reason.

Who is this person and why are they in your sphere? Is it a family member?
Can you not just take the "words of advice" and then keep well away from this person before they drag into more trouble?

So I’m gathering - this woman asked one of your relatives to take her some drugs, your relative did so, you were annoyed at this and went and shouted at/threatened the woman who originally wanted the drugs.

The police really don’t want to be dealing with these silly squabbles if I’m honest - it’s all he said, she said and rather petty.

As your relative was supplying the drugs by giving them to this woman then it that is an offence, and I don’t know how it’s been dealt with but hopefully, it’s taught your relative a lesson. If she’s autistic then the police would be aware and that can all be taken into account at the station, by the CPS, or in court if it goes there.

It is your relative who has to learn society standards, what happens when you don’t meet them. She also has to learn that not everyone is a genuine friend. Threatening everyone you think takes advantage, and after the events anyway, is not helping your relative learn how to consider these situations in advance - perhaps you could put your energy into that.

It’s done now with the police - if you keep it up and piss them off really then they won’t be as generous next time.

npt it’s not my relative but the fact remains she’s not and shouldn’t be above the law. I’m not the first she’s physically attacked the woman has no self control
