It is inevitable that, being who I am, this blog will contain a fair bit of comment on legal matters, including those cases which come before me in court. However, it is not restricted to such and may at times stray ‘off-topic’ and into whatever area interests me at the time.

All comments are moderated but sensible and relevant ones, even critical ones, are welcome; trolling and abuse is not and will be blocked.

Any actual case that I have been involved in, and upon which I may comment, will be altered in such a way as to make it completely unidentifiable.

Nothing Better to Do

The report
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2066140/Bethany-Ogley-11-told-You-visit-sister's-grave-school-uniform.html#ixzz1exI001TS
of a certain PC Alan Dickens stopping a schoolgirl from visiting her sister's grave while in school uniform, and threantening her with detention if she did so, begs the question as to whether there is any real crime in Barnsley to concern the police.

Has this over-officious copper got nothing else better to do?

Once the report hit the press cue some frantic back-tracking from both the school and the South Yorkshire Police “Any suggestion that visiting the cemetery would lead to a detention for the student is untrue”

Hope somebody tells the copper!
