Covid

Would you report a police officer flouting lockdown?

A PCSO who I know to say hello to (used to cover our area and also lives around here) is clearly flouting the lockdown rules and it’s really irritating me.

I saw her three weeks ago, walking her baby granddaughter in her pram-the daughter granddaughter and partner most definitely 100% don’t live in the same household.

Then, just today I’ve seen her walk past our house, with the daughter walking really closely side by side.

I’m shocked as she should know better shouldn’t she? Should I tell anyone?

I hope some of us are still here Armi

No, OP, I wouldn't.

I don't know what satisfaction it would give you anyway as you'd most probably never know the outcome.

Did boris make you the enforcer? I must've missed that briefing.

My sister in law went on a jolly to wales today

Really? I'm sure I read that the Welsh police weren't letting any in for day trips.

I say mind your own business because:

  1. you don’t know the situation. Her walking her granddaughter in a pram could have been to look after her while her daughter went for a medical appointment or something.

  2. they’re outside so the risk is lower.

  3. lockdown is horrific for so many people. Minor transgressions like a permitted walk but not being 2m apart after 2 months of not seeing anyone - honestly, I can’t judge that much. I just can’t. We are all only human and it doesn’t sound like she’s someone just doing what she wants whenever she wants.

  4. I’m horrified at the way people have turned so judgmental and want to get people in trouble. It’s not like shes had 50 people round for a house party.

  5. if there is a second spike I doubt it will be because grandmothers walked their granddaughters in their prams.

Likewise. How does reporting someone make it any better for you?

People don’t cease to exist or matter as individuals because of the “greater good”. As I said you don’t know what’s going on in their lives.

PCSOs are civilian officers not police officers.

One day you might be grateful for those pigs, when you dial 999 because something shit is happening to you or your family.

OP, reading your previous post, are you saying that you would report your SIL as long as she didn't know it was you who reported her?

i did read the fucking thread,DEAR........you are behaving like a spineless wimp then!

Nicknacky · 17/05/2020 20:44

So what exactly are you planning on reporting her for? For walking closer than 2 metres to someone? Not a police matter, it’s guidance and not law.

Seriously, folk need to give themselves a shake.

Oh, and she isn’t a police officer.

What do you hope you'd achieve, OP, by reporting?

Make this PCSO behave.
Make this PCSO distrust all her neighbours.
Upset the mother of the baby.
Make the PCSO's colleagues conform.
Make yourself feel better that the rules are 'fair' even though you find them difficult, too.
Hope the PCSO loses her job.
Stop transmission between the PCSO & her family.

What's your real motive here?

A PCSO who I know

She’s a police officer

Which is she? They are completely different roles.
