Of course I didn’t just say oh ok officer, I was furious I was in there for two hours.This is why nobody believes you, me included.
Nobody in their right mind would be such a wet blanket that after being locked up for 2 hours in a basement, the police arrive and instead of going crazy to press charges against the bouncers for false imprisonment, you just said 'Oh ok officer' and went home? Yea sure. If that's what really happened then you need to grow a pair.
We were both sat on a shared table in the venue, we were having a great evening, no raised voices, nothing. We are both very happyWere you arguing with your wife before this happened, or talking in loud or raised voices?
We need more facts.
the officers reply was “there just doing there job”
“there just doing there job”
If you write to the bar I seriously suggest a spell checker.Of course I didn’t just say oh ok officer, I was furious I was in there for two hours.
I kept saying to the police, I want to take this further as this can’t be legal and the officers reply was “there just doing there job” and said they can keep me detained until police arrive if they believe a domestic issue has happened.
I kept saying how can I take this further and they kept saying right a complaint to the bar, only to find out the next day the bar won’t do anything and are saying go to the police, it’s like a dead end
Trust me by no means did I just say “oh ok” that’s when I’m still trying to fight it now as it’s never right but feel like I’m running out of options.
I no some people may not believe me but this is honestly what happened, look at the link I sent on the reviews of the place. There are moaning about the bouncers
They said they won’t do anything further, need to go through the police, who also won’t do anythingIf you write to the bar I seriously suggest a spell checker.
Omg haha
surely bouncers/security guards aren't allowed to detain you indefinitely?
even special constable has to have a valid reason to detain you whilst waiting for another officer to arrive...
In the UK, a bouncer (or door supervisor) cannot detain you in a room or otherwise hold you against your will unless they are making a citizen's arrest for a crime they witnessed, and then only for the purpose of waiting for police to arrive.
You mean a PCSO? As far as I'm aware, a Special Constable has exactly the same powers of arrest as a regular officer
Go to the press then! But of course, you can't do that can you because it's all made up.They said they won’t do anything further, need to go through the police, who also won’t do anything
That’s a idea, do you think the press would be interested in thisGo to the press then! But of course, you can't do that can you because it's all made up.
Thanks for the advice and helpful repliesWelcome to OcUK?
If what you're saying is true, I would suggest not letting it go. I certainly wouldn't. Contact the SIA and complain and do not let the Police fob you off. There should be a way to complain about their behavior, if you feel they've treated you poorly. Maybe contact citizens advice?
I'm not saying I believe this happened. But if it did, how much time and effort are you willing to put in to achieve 'justice', so to speak?
