Two-nil to decency

Recently the plastic fuzz blogged about when she had finished one of her PCSO training and was on the way home on a bus. It is One-nil to decency.

Well, today when I was on a bus full of people on the way to my Uni, there was 3 young lads sitting on the upper rear deck, one was them was younger than 12 years old (i think), the other 2 was just around 15 or 16, there was like screaming, shouting, talking loudly, and totally pretend that the other 3o+ people on the upper deck is either invisible or does not present. It's quite irritating to me, I was hoping that there is really a police at that time to shut them up. But a 60+ man sitting next to them, warned them straight away, the conversation are more likely the same but he's not a police officer. The 3 young lads eventually shut up, and the passengers in front are smiling and nodding their heads, many of us turn our heads back and stare at those idiots. When the bus reaches my Uni and waits for us to disembark and continues it's journey, the man warns them not to creates any problems anymore and doesn't want to hear a sound from them, and he and his wife went to the lower deck. I smile and thanked the man.

At the comments of PCSO blog's, there is another PCSO said nobody actually do anything when similar things happen. When this incident happen in the bus today, I was thinking, if I went to intervene, what will happen? Youngsters these days carries knifes with them, maybe because he is an old man and they might give some "respect" to him, but I'm just another young lad, I'm no good to anobody dead or injured. Youngsters carries knife not because police is useless in unable to arrest them and charged them, but it's just their so-called "cool".

Until now, I'm still amazed on the man, Thank You. So it's considered Two-nil to decency, right?

Miranda Warning

When you are under arrest for doing something illegal, or watch tv and sees the bad guys being arrested by the police, the cops will say the words below, or similarly.

"You do not have to say anything; but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything that you do say may be given in evidence."

This is called the Miranda Warning or Right to Silence. Yes, it is a long one, and most often when you watch Police Interceptors, Road Wars, Police Camera Action etc etc, once the bad guys got caught, the police will just say all of these out, and the bad guys will just totally ignore them anyway, but it 's a procedure after all. Maybe during this long speech, the bad guys might already thinking how to make a quick get-away but most often failed to do so, or just swearing that their innocent and telling the cops they got the wrong one.

I had this topic yesterday, and my lecturer was an ex-cop, his suggestion? 

"SHUT UP!!! YOU'RE NICKED!!!"

Four words, and typically it covers everthing. Make's the cop's life easier isn't it???

Chain of Custody

Today I was watching CSI, when suddenly one of them open an evidence box to review an old case, when the evidence is reviewed in the evidence bag, there is a piece of paper stating "Chain of Custody" on it, where it is left blanked. I was like "wow", no wonder they can't solve the case, even if there is new evidence, the court wouldn't allow them to use the evidence as they have no idea on where the evidence had been.

Perverting the Course of Justice

Since the reviews of this book went up so high, I decided to buy myself one. What should I say? Well, for you can get it in amazon.co.uk with this link. And it worth every single penny on every page, for me. I end up reading this book rather than reading up the law cases I should have read them last week, so I'm burning midnight oil tonight to finish my law cases for tomorrow. 

Anyway, internet connection in my place hasn't been going too well, I told my friend about this, he asked back to me, since you study Forensic Science, you guys are good in tracing the source of problems, you should know what to do! Man, Forensic Science is not everything, I would rather leave this to those "pros". 

Law cases, where examples discussed by my lecturer, here's one, there is one case where someone talks to a mother with an infant, some how, I don't know how, but some how, the mother drops (i think, not paying 100% attention during class.) her infant and the infant unfortunately died. That someone is charged. Lesson No.1, never talk to someone with a baby.

Lesson No.2, similar case, but it's a woman that is pregnant. I forgotten about the details of the case, but the baby in her womb died, and the someone was charged. So, never talk to someone that is pregnant. Then, someone talks to a man, and don't know why and how again, the man had a heart attack and died, that someone is charged. Lesson No. 3, never talk to someone. Overall, just lock yourself inside your room and don't talk to anyone. ???

Erasers

Nothing much to say tonight, just that 5 hours of continuosly lectures is killing me. When today at lectures, I accidentally drawn something using a pencil onto my notes, which I decided to use an eraser to rub it away, I went searching my pencil box, where I tend to have a full collection of stationaries in it, and I believe I do have an eraser, but end up I don't have one. Being a Forensic Scientist, you can't just simply use an eraser to erase something at there, I can't believe my life is just drifting towards the Forensic life. I DO NOT HAVE AN ERASER IN MY PENCIL BOX.

Newbie. New post. New blog. Old stuffs.

Where should I begin? When I tell my friends I'm studying Forensic Science, the next thing you know is how is it? Is it like the C.S.I. we used to watch in TV? Do you guys carries gun? Have you seen the corpses yet? Did you puke? etc etc.

NO. We are not the same as C.S.I. in the TV. We do not have guns in our side. Normal duty police in UK doesn't carries a gun, it doesn't make any special of us to carries a firearm while performing investigation to a crime scene. I haven't seen any corpses yet because I'm still studying, and therefore I can't puke. And we do not flick our hair or have fashion cloths or any other stuffs that men and women have when they go to work. Even if we does have, it will be all covered up by the white plastic coverall and over branded shoes will be covered as well by blue plastic. Our spiky hair, colourful hair or whatever we have will end up covered up as well. Colourful polished fingernails of the females (sometimes males as well) will be hidden by Nitrile gloves. The only part we do not hide is our eyes only. We will be wearing masks as well. Not as Dr. Gil Grissom below.

Till then, will be posting a new post soon. Photo linked from www.watchingcsi.com and www.tvguide.com .
