Indeed, 1994. I was trying hard to remember what I'd read and to put it into less formal language. Wasn't really concentrating on being technically accurate regarding statute title.
What might those inferences be? Might they be formed as an instruction to a jury to consider the evidence as possibly fabricated? The jury aren't there to decide points of law, so the judge must tell them. Left to their own devices, they take all as gospel unless it conflicts. It may well be for the jury to ultimately decide, but after being on a jury myself I can say that what the judge said was taken as gospel.
The specific references I attempted to paraphrase were Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 2004, Chapter 3, Section 34 (2)(c) and (d). I don't have time to read the Magistrates' Court Act or the Criminal Justice Act (1987 or 1991)to comment on parts (a) and (b). I might look at it for some bedtime reading...
Finally, I'm aware that "disregard" has a special meaning in Law. However, to the lay-man it's a substitute for "ignore" or "don't consider." If my answer is still inaccurate then please say, and I'll take the karma burn I deserve. Like I said, IANAL.
As a troll-ish footnote, though, how about you do better? You quoted statute, which helps nobody to understand the implication: "failure [to disclose it] as appear proper"? Is my interpretation so far from accurate as to be false?
So which part of this "hearsay" constitution are you hedging your legally protected rights on?
As I've just said in reply to another comment, we have legislative sections which confer similar protections as the US constitution, but they are innumerable, vague, and often inapplicable or incomplete compared to the US equivalent. Otherwise don't you think some bright-spark lawyer would have created a website "www.EnglishConstitution.co.uk - £5 gets you access to your rights!" and made a killing?
My Law tutor told me this too. There are various sections of legislation which roughly equate to the protections of the US constitution, but they are not a constitution of sorts. You have to go searching through so many parliamentary Acts spanning sometimes centuries that it's impossible to pin them all down. Otherwise, someone would have drafted an English Constitution (even iif it is just an index of relevant sections of legislation).
By the way, which parts aren't written down? If you believe that you're legally protected by something not in the law books, I have a lovely bridge you might be interested in.
You've made a serious error; You're considering "death" as opposed to "Death." While "death" is a state in which an entity is no longer "alive" Death is a dude with a bald head, eastern European accent, and with extremely uncomfortable underwear.
Indeed. "Is this your cassette? Music from the radio you say? Come with me, I want your fingerprints."
Unless you're under caution / they have a warrant, your best response is "I'm afraid I can't help you with that, officer. I hope you have better luck elsewhere. Have a nice day!"
In the US, your rights are "Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." In the UK, it's "It may harm your defense if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence."
Interview can work for the defense as well in the UK, but the regulations are different. You must volunteer (under caution) evidence which will exonerate you before trial, or it may become inadmissible as basis for dismissal.
As I said, the video is advice for US citizens. I've since added further info to my post as a reply.
Coming up very soon is the third time Europe will ask the UK government what they have done to remedy this situation. The first two times they have been found wanting. This third time will result in very heavy fines and possibly criminal trial for people in positions of responsibility, in the European Court of Justice.
Section 34 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 2004 means not giving any evidence which could exonerate you when questioned under caution by a constable (at the scene, prior to formal interview at the station) could affect your ability to move for case dismissal based on that same exonerating evidence you did not mention at the time, and also exonerating evidence can be disregarded if a judge or jury decides that there is a case to answer based upon other evidence heard. Thanks to VShael below for pointing out the relevant legislation: I'd always been curious!
IANAL, this (again) is not legal advice, but I seem to have a gift for reading and interpreting Legalese (My Law tutor said so).
UK citizens: Ignore the advice in this video. It is accurate for the US legal system, not the UK legal system.
I've watched the whole thing before, and there are so many items in the video that simply do not apply that the whole thing should be ignored. Hell, the very first frame you see is regarding the Fifth Amendment: We don't have a constitution.
Do you want advice on how to deal with the police in the UK? Go to Citizen's Advice. The internet has some basics, but they're not comprehensive. Do you want instructions on how to handle arrest? That's easy: Comply. Do nothing to resist. Listen to everything that is said. As soon as you're arrested, say nothing about the reason for your arrest. Not "I didn't do it!" not "It was that guy!" There will be time for this later, after you've spoken to a solicitor.
Confirm personal details at the station, nothing more, and when asked state politely but firmly that you can not answer any questions regarding your arrest or enter an interview room until you have spoken to a professional legal representative. It's because you've not done this before, and want everything to be done right. Law is complex. Late at night (if required) this might be a phone call, but you can still request a solicitor to attend in person. Usually this will be the next day, which is good. Try and get some sleep; You can't go anywhere or do anything, and talking to anyone is a bad idea.
1. Make good decisions regarding rubbish law in public. Gain public trust. This was the DNA retention laws and the ISP Deep Packet Filtering decisions in the UK, maybe others in other European countries. 2. Make good decisions regarding rubbish law in private, and leak those decisions. ACTA. 3. Make good decisions regarding rubbish law in private, and let the law reflect them when applied in court. 4. Make mediocre decisions regarding rubbish law in private, show leniency. 5. Make poor decisions regarding rubbish law in private. 6. Make decisions backed by brown envelope money. Profit.
Don't make me laugh! Public prosecutions of politicians?! What the hell have you been smoking?
Have you ever heard the phrase "If you want a puppy, ask for a horse"? This will be cut up and re-worded to sound less offensive than it is, and will pass through anyway. Or, it'll creep up to this current standard after a neutered version has been drafted.
Don't for one second think that we have any say. Any. We lost that say when the UK became bi-partisan like the US (Tories and Labour), and Europe is impotent (UK police keeping DNA data, ISPs snooping on net traffic etc etc).
15 minutes away from the desk for a cigarette and a coffee sounds like just the thing a user would need when an application hangs.
In all seriousness though, I've found that issues get reported when users know they'll get a response in a reasonable time period; 15 minutes, where I work. That's not time to resolution, that's just a callback stating that I either have stuff to do and they should just reboot, or to say that I'll be there in 10 minutes after i've finished logging this last call.
Having an easy to use helpdesk has been benecicial. Screen dump into Paint, save as a JPEG, open helpdesk, quick description (actions prior to failure) and attach the image.
If they're left hanging for an hour after leaving a message, expect your instances of "Error message" reports to decline, and your tickets for "nerdrage: keyboard through monitor" to increase.
+1 Insightful. All this "no close" message box will achieve is the tech team having to re-image more workstations than ever as the file system is completely fubar from being hard reset six times a day.
After your boss receives the 600th email stating that there is a PRIORITY ONE CALL IMMEDIATE FIX AFFECTING MY WORK "This message won't disappear. It said there was an error" message, you will be lynched.

I was just wondering if the OP wanted to buy a bridge.

He is also terrible at Battleships.
And apparently, they haven't been this low since the sixties.
So you're saying that the prohibition of drugs has lead to more violent crime?
THEORY APPROVED!

You weren't under caution. Everything changes after you're read your rights.

If you have nothing constructive to say, say nothing. You sound like a moron.
