Thanks C, maybe Im cynical ans have seen to much unfairness and police chasing someone for dropping litter rather than a drug dealer......

Cusp he was interviewed with my Dad there, 5 hours after my Dad left his phone number!!

He asked what was going on and was told wait, while he was cold and shivering....

Thanks ladies,

I am going to formally complain, but Ive been told


'dont complain against the police because they'll be on your back for ever after....'

Dont know what to do......

Oh Caz...............the poor lad, trying to get his life on track and then this has to happen to him!

I don't know what else to say.

I don't know the workings of all this, but there must be a way of making a formal complaint on his treatment. Surely its not right to treat a suspect who is helping with inquiries (I think thats how they word it) like that, with not even a drink?

Different if he had been charged I supposed, but as they have admitted mistaken identity, I wouldhave thought there would be reason for formal complaint.

If not sure, get some advice from the C.A.B. tomorrow.

Mmmm, I would say so, isn't he still classed as a child - or is that 16 and under.

I would complain and see where it gets you.........

What the problem Caz, will help if I can.


I think you/your son have a good case for a complaint.
Did he have a Duty Solicitor?

Josh was taken away, CID said theyd be back to search his room and he needed an adult to be interviewed....

When they came back, they turned his room upside down, left it in an utter mess and I had to go. They told my Dad to come back and theyd go to cop shop with him. My dad came back and house was empty. He went home called station and left his number to be contacted as soon as he was needed. The message WASNT passed to CID. Josh was left for 7 hours with no food, cold with only a tee shirt on in a cell, no phone call alllowed,

He was offered a drink after 3 hours. My Dad was called at 2.15 and it was a case of mistaken identity, the CCTV footage for a sat nave stolen from a car LOOKED like Josh,

There was no apology, nothing, my Dads disgusted, so am I and Josh is very low. Was he mistreated??

Not had a good day : (

You all know me, heart on sleeve kinda lady ( lol ) Im posting this for advice..... many of you here are wonderful trusted friends and I know you'll help.

My lad of almost 17 ( one whose applied for army ) has had a troubled past and was in trouble with the police a few times, for which I paid and am still paying the fines.

He has sorted himself and for 20 months has been great;working hard, head down, maturing etc,

7.30 this morning CID are hammering on our door, to arrest Josh for something they wouldnt explain apart from theft.I was waiting for my Dad to pick me up to get Abi to school, Will to Mum in laws as hes ill and me to work as I have no car this week....
