I KNEW I'd seen something with a summary of what the Police can and can't do .

This does make interesting reading.

under NO circumstances try and use that re-formtted card till you have tried , using the recovery programme , to get the pics off it


This is why we have lots of spare cards

I should not have looked at this thread but I did.

You have some wonderful memories of your Grandfather - treasure them as I'm sure you will.

Eternal memory

Don't discuss this with any members of the same Police Force - it's not wise.

They may well be friendly with you - but they know who their employer is and you could put them in a very awkward situation.

Also it's very possible that they do not have much knowledge about the regulations for Stop and Search or how they are supposed to handle the camera

As well as all the advice up thread I would also get the folk who commissioned your work last night to make a formal complaint - these pictures [ as far as they are concerned] can never be re-taken - they have also lost something .

Please also contact your local paper - either free or paid for - if not both.

Emphasise that the card was reformatted by the Police [ clearly they didn't know what they were doing - so should not have done that ]

Make sure that you get everything covered .

The way you were treated is shameful

Oh dear

He obviously had a special place in your heart - you will miss him and the sound of his bell

I've still to do mine

OOOOOOOOOOOOOH Waggledance - oh nice beer

that is certainly very clever Gwyn , though I'll admit I was a tad concerned when I saw the URL

I seem to remember that once you have put the card in the camera and told it to update , there is a warning not to touch the camera till it tells you it has finished the update process.
