Disclosure relating to harassment charges

[redhoodred1]

So I posted on here a little while ago about police ordering my arrest after allegations of harassment by my ex partner. Now, where do I start?

The police banged on my door the other day telling me I was wanted (again) and under arrest (again), my neighbour heard the whole thing, and so did my children who were inside. After a long discussion with my solicitor, they left and the OIC was emailed. It turns out that he did not order my arrest and neither did anyone else in the North East police force.

I also received disclosure yesterday and my ex partner has alleged that I’ve been calling him daily from 15 different phone numbers and messaging all day. He stated that I was showing up at his home shouting and screaming and causing a scene.
The document stated that no videos or screenshots were provided.’

I am livid, absolutely livid. I have been going out of my mind with all of this and in the end his allegation turns out to be totally false.

False allegations are extremely damaging and I want to know what I can do about this?

The police have taken his word with no evidence, he’s lied through his teeth, someone in the force has mistakenly put out arrest enquiries on my name, I was detained at a police station for 2-3 hours, police came to my home three times, my neighbours now know my business and think they’re living next door to a fugitive, my children are worried, I lost a work opportunity because of the ongoing investigation and I missed my final assignment deadline for my degree because my stress levels have been through the roof and I just couldn’t focus.

Anything I’ve forgotten, or is that enough? 🙄

I think you might get better responses if you post on the Legal board; the only thing I'd say is look for a solicitor who specialises in human rights and ask them to take the case.

That's appalling redhoodred1 As Thelnebriati suggested, you'd probably benefit from a legal take on it?

Ok thanks x

IANAL but it sounds as if the officers in question detained you without good cause, which is illegal.

I know the Police like to close ranks, but there are good grounds for a complaint here and potentially more serious action too. What did your solicitor say about suing / following up a complaint?

Can you go down the route of taking a restraining order out on your ex? His weaponising the police like this is harassment and if he wanted to fight your RO then (I’m assuming) he’d have to offer up proof that his allegations, of you harassing him, are founded.

Can you believe that the police are investigating themselves again! The law changed recently so that the IOPC no longer have the power that they used to unless in cases of serious misconduct such as death in police custody, serious sexual assault etc. So effectively, the police are totally unaccountable for anything that falls before those things.

An officer stood in my friends cousins face and spat in his food whilst he was in custody because they know they can.

I found out from the OIC, that if the officers fail to speak to you within 48 hours because and I quote they are ‘too busy or go on rest days’ then you get circulated to be arrested even if you don’t meet the criteria for an arrest.

So essentially they are conducting illegal arrests as standard practice because the officers are busy for two days or on holiday. I spoke to the IOPC and MOPAC but they both advised that there’s nothing they can do about it.

What the heck is going on?

Can you believe that the police are investigating themselves again! Unfortunately I can, there was a local incident. The WPC investigating the behaviour of the male officer sounded utterly defeated when she last called me, and I've heard nothing since.

The complaints process is inherently bias and effectively fruitless from the outset.
Its such a huge shame because the police have made, and continue to make, serious mistake after serious mistake with extremely little to no accountability
