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?

@CoachBombay

Yes, I opened it as it was warm. Trust me, I’m working from home and looking after a toddler so I don’t have time to “curtain twitch”Grin

nick My post got deleted, I’m not going to use the word again.

Plus - do you believe that people on this board are who they say they are?

Also, it’s no more than a derogatory term but a pp is telling me to find out what it “really” means? If I’m missing another meaning, I certainly can’t repeat it.

LilacTree1 Why not call me it? Stand by your convictions!!! Even Pm me. You won’t upset me, I’ve been called far worse. But if it’s what you think then just say it and stand by your principles. Otherwise you are just spineless when you are called out on it.

It doesn’t matter why it’s derogatory.

I posted about one of the neighbours having guests a.few weeks ago Op, and should I report it. I also got many.people saying to mind my own business and not be nosy which was very.annoying. It definitely is others business right now if people don't choose to follow the rules. I don't want a 2nd spike and be locked down even longer which is what will happen if.everyone carried on as.normal and did what they wanted.

Why you call her a police officer when she isn’t?

What do you think the police will do about her being less than two metres from someone else? I was less than 2 metres from a stranger while out tonight on a run. There is nowt my work could say about it.

@LilacTree1 my husband has just ensured a 19 year sentence for a paedophile who abused his granddaughter over many years. His hard work means that he will probably die in jail and will not harm another child. So, according to you, he’s a pig?

@Nicknacky

Yes, typo/mistake in my thread title, I do not mean police officer-I mean PCSO.

I don’t know what they might do about that but this isn’t that-they are clearly mixing with another household. I just think it’s irresponsible

They won’t do a thing. The two metres is advisable, not lawful. Just mid your own business. I was less than two metres today from a stranger.

No, I wouldn't report her but it is pretty annoying. I know an NHS Nurse who just doesn't do lockdown. Provides childcare, has visitors, overnight guests, visits parents...etc

Nick “ The two metres is advisable, not lawful”

Thank you.

Re others

Some of you seem to be very familiar with my posts, so I will assume you also know I’m very close to the edge, I’m sure your people are lovely, but if it makes me feel less suicidal to attach labels to certain groups of people, I will continue to do so, off line.

Why you don't just ask her why she's 'flouting' lockdown if you are so certain that she's doing so without a reasonable excuse.

I wonder what all the self-appointed Stasi will do with themselves once these restrictions are relaxed and they have no one to tattle on.

LilacTree1 That’s a fair point, if it makes you feel better then call me it. It’s all a part of the job.

Maybe they’ll join the police themselves and continue their crusade against the rule breakers Grin
