Hi Ada

Welcome to the Forum, enjoy the experience

Paul

There was IMHO no winding up by answering him absolutely correctly. If he had said could you please tell me what your doing? Then I would have answered him immediately by saying 'taking photos@

To not 'see' the camera was to say the least not a consideration considering that they are trained in observation. And in a Lay Bye hardly an act of Terrorism. Personally I think he had got out the wrong side of the Bed, but certainly needed some Customer Care training.

I was approached one day whilst sat in the car, (two summer ago), with my Camera rested on the door, I had the Siggy 150-500mm on and was sat taking photo's of Rooks on some grass about 10 yards away. The copper was in an un-marked car without standard uniform on, (unmarked motorway patrol). He pulled up alongside and asked me if I minded telling him what I was doing. I answered quite correctly and said 'No i dont mind you asking'

At this stage he got really stroppy and started to threaten me with the Terrorism Act and its repurcussions. I replied to him that I had answered his question by telling him that I DID NOT mind him asking, result: - Threatened to arrest me. I told him that if he DID ASK me what I was doing then I would answer, pointing out again that he only ask me If I minded!

He then swore at me and told me to follow him to the station where i would be 'charged' He wouldnt tell me on what charge. At this point I asked him if he was observant? And showed the pics of the Rooks and said did he not notice the large lens on what was obviously a Camera.

I told him that I was not following him and asked for his rank and number, his Duty Sergeants details and the station he worked out of, (this was near Hull). He wanted to know why believe it or not and apart from showing me his ID would not give any other info. At this point I told him I was going to follow him even if it took all his shift and report him for swearing and attempts at false arrest and threatening behavior.

He then said in a very bad temper and I quote 'have a nice day sir' and drove off.

I was in a state, but was not going to let him get the better for nothing more than taking simple photo's.

A Police state, I dont know, but not a good advert for our force. I would certainly never help them out after that.

2 and 7 for me Mat, nice ones mate.

Dear Sir/Madam,

RE: Faulty goods and the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended)

On [date of purchase] I bought a [description of purchase] from you for [insert price] which has stopped working.

The problem is [enter description of fault].

The Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended) states that when a consumer buys goods from a trader they must be: as described; of a satisfactory quality; and fit for any purpose made known at the time of sale to the seller.

This legislation also states that the seller, not the manufacturer, is legally obliged to sort out a problem if the goods do not meet these requirements.

The law also says I have six years from the date of purchase to claim damages for faulty goods.

My goods are not [delete as appropriate - as described/fit for purpose/of satisfactory quality] and I wish to claim a [delete as appropriate - repair/replacement/refund] of my goods under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 as amended.

Please respond to my complaint within 7 days from receipt of this letter.

Yours faithfully,
[your name]




Regards
