aaron4lauren   10 #1 Posted January 17, 2010 tonight i got into a fight with a bunch of lads who are well known to the area and my family jumped in to help me and things turned worst as my family have got realy hurt and in result have had to have an operation, when the police turned up they took a statment from me and after i felt like i was worth nothing, as they said they could not do anything and that if i press charges then i myself will get arrested for hitting them back after they was the ones that caused it. Although numerous witnesses have acknowledged this are they correct or do u also feel like the police have fobbed me off with a load of rubbish please help.

Make sure you tell them you will take it to the IPCC if they do not investigate or if you are charged too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Halibut   12 #5 Posted January 17, 2010 i have thought about this but i didnt want to get locked up as i have been in trouble with the polic before the thing that gets me is the people who attacked me and my family are constent offenders  And you're just an occasional offender. Maybe try what m.j.scuba suggests, but you're hardly likely to end up with a situation where they all get done and your lot all get off.

dongle   10 #7 Posted January 17, 2010 i would imagine they took statements from both parties who both blamed each other for the fight starting? i would then think they would have asked both of you if you wanted to take the matter further which would have involved both of you getting arrested and interviewed to determine who was to blame. if you believe that you had nothing to do with the incident taking place then you have nothing to fear as the truth will come out and if theres a case to answer. i would get back in touch with the police and say you want to take the matter further Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Â The OP doesn't say he was defending his family - he says he got in a fight. There's nothing there to say how or why the fight started - the OP may have been to blame.

GoodParent   10 #11 Posted January 18, 2010 And you're just an occasional offender. Maybe try what m.j.scuba suggests, but you're hardly likely to end up with a situation where they all get done and your lot all get off.  And you are just a constant trouble causer.

aaron4lauren   10 #12 Posted January 18, 2010 the police did not take statements from any of us allthough i do not know about the opposite side they just asked a few things like our names and then walked out. also my family came up as i called them to drop something of to me when i realised i left my collage stuff at mine which i needed for the morning and as i went to meet them to get it of them this all kicked off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
