Hi BundleBoogie,
I had an email from Northumbria Police Professional Standards two days ago saying that all the officers concerned have now submitted their statements, that these will be reviewed and then I will get another update.
Various reasons why this has all taken so long but hopefully it will be complete soon.
I received a written apology from the Assistant Chief Constable immediately the police were made aware that the recording had been posted on Social Media (TikTok and X).
At no point have the police suggested that I did anything wrong in recording the conversation between the officers, all Detective Constables I think.
The Police have also not objected to the recording being posted on Social Media. It is not, as alleged by certain trans rights activists on Mumsnet, "illegal" to have done so.
I missed the first few minutes of what the DC's said about me because at first I thought the radio or a video had kicked in. Then, when I realised what was happening, it took me a bit of time to fire up the computer and start recording by holding my phone on speaker-output next to the mic.
So the worst of what they said has not been recorded. I recorded about 10 minutes but there were long silences in that.
I sent the recording to North News and Pictures and one of their journalists selected clips to put together a TikTok video just over two minutes long. The police have a copy of the complete recording. As do I.
Harry Miller also has a copy but I can't remember if that is the full recording or the short version. Both North News and Pictures and Harry prepared transcripts. I think Harry filled in some of the barely audible parts where NN&P got stuck.
I haven't bothered to go through the full recording yet to see if there are any other clips worth adding. What North News and Pictures selected is bad enough.
If the TRA twats manage to get this taken down I will just post it somewhere else.
