Fieldsports Britain channel - 15:00 on the timeline.

I daren't comment because it may upset some on the forum, not being a armed response officer, I dont know the other responsibilities they have on their mind and the stress they're under....
 
This poor women. This is without doubt a shining example of complete waste of police time resources. Whilst the police have a job to do, this type of incident does not require that many officers, and the person who made the 999 call maybe an anti or a complete busy body, who needs to be cautioned for wasting police time.

I am not knocking the police at all, but this type of incident does not fit well with the public or the shooting community. I bet if her kennels had been broken into by someone, the police would probably have not attended?
Clearly this lady is due an apology in writing from the Chief Constable.
 
I can't help but feel that there's more to this story than we have seen....

Yes, the police were pretty blunt but who wouldn't be attending somewhere and potentially expecting another Plymouth

The question is who made the 999 call and why? The lady should be focusing her frustrations at them!

£8K for the gate is also silly!
 
The police were somewhat in the wrong however, whiplash? PTSD? C’mon….where there’s blame there’s a claim! It wouldn’t surprise me if this couple needed a few quid and see an easy way of getting it, it all seems a bit dramatic.

I don't necessarily agree with you about needing a few quid, but I definitely agree with you about "a bit dramatic".

I would say it was possibly over reaction by both parties and the police could certainly have handled it better. There again you don't know if there is a background to this story and that we weren't told all the facts. We were told that the lady didn't have any firearms but what about any one else living at the house?
I'm also getting a little bit of a bad feeling about the intentions of Fieldsports Britain, is it just me or are they becoming more and more anti police?
 
Absolutely fair enough - that is your view.

My view, is that this incident is (very much) in the public domain, and as such is absolutely open for discussion.
Yes, its very much in the public domain but perhaps I should have been more specific in my concern. Namely I see little benefit to the deerstalking/shooting community in providing yet another platform for those SD members who might, at best, be said to hold the Police Force in less than high regard.
