The point that pretty much everyone has been making is that if no crime has been committed, then the police shouldn't get involved. They particularly should not be sharing unproven allegations with third parties.
So you have no problem with him going into a female changing room then.
Other people on here seemed to have a problem with it and asked why aren't police stopping it?
We can't have it both ways
Would the presence of those dolls be enough for a magistrate to authorise a search warrant
No - nothing illegal, so you cant get a warrant to search for anything.
So, you would be happy for nothing about what we have discovered at Mr Smith's house to be recorded?
Flashing is a crime and will be investigated accordingly. So if you have an available unit to send, gather the evidence and put a case file together for CPS & court. Providing the witness is willing to go to court, can identify the person responsible & pick him out on an ID parade. Providing that officer can find a spare few moments in between all the safeguarding issues. And you can find a unit to send in the first place dependent on incoming emergencies.
This is my argument on here, the amount of woke things we deal with on a day-to-day basis is insignificant compared to everything else we have to do. It is this that is preventing us investigating & detecting crimes - not woke things.
Mr Brown regularly attends the local swimming baths.....
You don't have a crime of voyeurism or outraging public decency.
But lets just say we do - and he goes to court and is found not guilty, or the witness didn't want to go to court - and in the end Mr Brown walks free. Do we record this information or is all information held on Mr Brown about this case wiped from the system?
Or if a man gets arrested for rape 10 times, but each time he is found not guilty or gets off on a technicality - do we not record any information or intelligence on him? After all, he is guilty of nothing.

The police keep on failing women and girls.
Not so - DdraigGoch - says we shouldn't get involved (as above)
We shouldn't record intelligence on people like Mr Smith which could keep them safe. If there's no crime, there should be nothing recorded.
So why aren't you police officers on this thread, so affronted by stickers and sarky comments on twitter - why aren't you making any real effort to investigate men who are reported to have committed actual sexual assault and rape?
We do, believe me, we do. Any rape job that we get is an automatic emergency. Victim get safeguarded and her initial contact phase is begun immediately. The Sexual Offence Medical Centre is alerted and a team is assembled to obtain the medical samples required. The suspect is arrested and is forensically swabbed, interviewed, bailed for forensics. This then gets passed on to CID to further the enquiries. Victim is further supported by a whole host of support agencies afterwards.

Collecting information about non-illegal activities, especially that could be given to people like employers, is an infringment of civil liberties.
Really - how about if I see in a house a large 1 ton bag of fertilizer, numerous bottles of nitric acid, hydrochloride acid and acetone. Worth reporting a intelligence or not? Non of that is illegal to possess.
If i discover that a regular missing from home from a children's home (14 year old girl) who is vulnerable to child sexual exploitation is frequenting specific areas in a town known for prostitution and sex crime. Worth reporting?
If I discover a large lock-up that's full of large lighting rigs, tons of high grade soil, high grade plant food, extractor fans, hydroponic units. Worth reporting. I think it could be turned into a cannabis farm soon.
non of its illegal - do we just ignore it?

If you don't like it, stop keeping secret records about people and stick to actual illegal activity. Aka crimes.
So ignore any of the above examples and that of Mr Smith and hope for the best?
And I have explained a number of times why we can't concentrate on crimes. The amount of woke things we deal with on a day-to-day basis is insignificant compared to everything else we have to do. It is this that is preventing us detecting crimes - not woke things.
