Calling The Police Could Prove Costly

[Raffles]

Should you be a victim of crime, don't bother calling the police. Not only will they almost certainly prove to be unfit for purpose, they may end up doing a number on you:-

Tripped over a fence ...

A barrier, railing, or other upright structure, typically of wood or wire, enclosing an area of ground to prevent or control access or escape.

At least the Fence did its job

A strange breed these PSCO's seem to be. I'd be more wary of them, than the actual proper plod.

I'd also question did she have adequate eyesight to carry out her job, as the article stated it was a three foot high fence she (allegedly) tripped over.

Would she not be covered by her employers public liability insurance

Still at least it was higher than the one who was going to sue a garage for tripping over a kerb in a poorly lit area....
Dropped in the end as I think they realised what they were doing....

I feel bad. I actually laughed at this. Just to clarify, she went to a school for blind kids, and somewhat ironically, tripped over a fence she didn't notice?

Why do they employ these people.......

Your job role puts you in front of drug addicts with needles and people with guns.

It is a fucking fence. Should have used your eyes

[Benno]

What the hell, so if someone's door is closed and I just walk right into it and break my nose, I can sue them for having a door?

Do we know if she used the front gate entrance to get in?

If she did then she already knew it was there and was just not paying attention or forgot on the way out, that cannot be the land owners fault.

Also I would ask if the land owner was the one who called the police? if not then I would say the land owner should have no duty of care since they did not authorise or request the silly bitch to be there in the first place, and could not warn her about the fence because of that.

I would argue that since it is not public property the police should have had permission to be there.

I find it hilarious to think that probably not one of the blind kids ever fell over it, but she did, Makes you wander whether she would have even caught the kids that had been complained about, all they would need to do is crouch down and hope she didn't trip over them.

Can you even get a "caution low fence/ gate" sign?

Shouldn't that be...

Again, impossible to know without the full circumstances.

I'm sure they'll all swear blind that the little blue "PCSO" tag is sufficient to show that there's no intent to deceive. Although that is of course the purpose of them, at least at the political level.

Suing for that!!!! I acutally feel a bit Guilty for trying to get some compensation out of East Lancs NHS. I'm employed by another NHS trust who said stick a claim in. But she is claiming for her own stupidity.
