blackmaggie 3,375 Posted May 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Not sure it says the interview will be in accordance with the police and criminal evidence act Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Just go ask if you can record it.If@ any time you don't like how it's going terminate the meeting and say I will reschedule and return with my lawyer. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meece 1,957 Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) This first meeting might be just a friendly chat but they are hoping that you will either incriminate yourself or others. Be aware that even if you have been invited for a chat, that you are being investigated as a wrongdoer by association. They dont know anything solid yet and they are giving you rope to hang yourself with. what you say may well be recorded and trawled through. This might mean that at a further meeting your statements at the first meeting will be put back to you and you will be interrogated and zig zagged about. You wont remember what you said at that first meeting and your story will be a analysed and wrapped around your neck.any deviation and you wil be classed as a liar. 53 minutes ago, blackmaggie said: my number plate has been recorded going down his lane if they've got your no. plate, they have a hidden camera. If you have been photographed going down full with stuff and coming back out empty, the questions will be, where has it come from.? What have you done with it and where is the paperwork for it.? What are the fines for this.? 46 minutes ago, mackem said: Always take legal representation. It's a cost layout but they're after your hide. Or cheque book or both. Ps. Have good answers to their questions other than you were moving it for a mate or it was because his truck was broken down or it was a birthday present. They will have heard it all before.

blackmaggie 3,375 Posted May 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) According to the lad he thinks his neighbour has took my reg down the lad himself has said he will tell them about the site safe I think there fishing as he first got in contact a few weeks ago then nothing till the letter came today I can't tell them anything other than I rented the site safe but I think he will try as you say incriminate me for something they have my van reg but not my car and I was down there in it fairly often so if it was a hidden camera they would have that as well Edited May 12, 2018 by blackmaggie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WILF 44,182 Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Last I heard it wasn’t a crime to drive down a lane, so I’d imagine it will go something like this: you were spotted driving down the lane Yes, and ? Why were you there? Going to see a man I know for a cup of tea It was reported you had waste on the van Well, I don’t know by who because I have never carried waste on the van bit it’s been reported Well they are lying .......and repeat until they get bored They count on you putting yourself in the shit in these things, if they have evidence make them show you their hand otherwise they can f**k off. Dont mention any other thing at all. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

An ex-copper once told me most people usually incriminate themselves,thats why your brief always advises "No Comment" at the first interview,forces them to show their hand........If they have one. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meece 1,957 Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 That's about the score of it. A gardening customer of ours got fined £300 for transporting a crane bag of grass cuttings because he hadn't filled in the correct paperwork from two different addresses even though he had a waste transfer licence. If it was a third party who has reported it, be aware of possible pictures. Everyone has a camera on their phone ect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wyeman 799 Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Take unqualified advise with a massive pinch of salt, to do otherwise will be at your peril. If there is any possibility of legal action being taken against you - take a solicitor. If a solicitor attends on your behalf, he/she must be given sight of the evidence against you (Disclosure). The solicitor will then be able to advise you BEFORE any interview takes place. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
