Hi folks can you advise please,

If you are on bail

you do not have any restrictions on your bail terms,

someone calls the police

says you have breached your bail conditions,

you are arrested

locked up for the night,

the police did not bother to check the bail conditions,

appear in court the next day

to be told by the sheriff that this should not have happened

there are no restrictions on your bail terms.

What if any redress do you have?

for instance

can you use the freedom of information act to find out who made the call to the police?

we think this is a deliberate act to make this person look bad

the court hearing is due next week,

can this be mentioned in court as both parties are to appear,

or is it not worth mentioning.

This will take place in the Scottish courts

I believe the law is different from English courts,

thanks for any comments.

Erm, so are you assuming that it was a family member that did this ?

certainly you need to be seeking redress against the police for wrongful arrest.

and imprisonment.

I don't think 'who' reported this, at this point, is your concern nor should you mention that part

it will come out in the ensuing investigation

the issue here is the police failed to check any conditions to your bail.

Thanks for the replies, and for the link DX:wink: Will pass this on to the person's involved.

Why has my post heading changed to Police Scotland? From Family dispute?

cause it based around that yes

but the issue is one concerning Police Scotland

and their actions.

"Hello, Police Scotland here!"

"Hi, It's Ricky 'Razers' Rooney here. Can you tell me who grassed me up for the Post Office job please?"

"Certainly, let me see, it was Pete 'The Pigeon' Poskalini"

"Cheers, bye!"

"You're welcome!"
