Punkypink Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Haha my place just got raided by the police for suspicion of possession of firearms. I even got handcuffed. My hex key set's missing now tho, they'd better not have pinched it Link to post Share on other sites
Stealth1911. Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Did they confiscate anything? Link to post Share on other sites
Chimpy Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Did they take anything or leave once they realised they were all Airsoft? Link to post Share on other sites
The Chef Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 well, you are a dangerous individual after all! Link to post Share on other sites
chris u'5 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Did they explain why you were suspected of possessing firearms? Did someone see in your window perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Did you enjoy the handcuffing? How come they raided you? Haven't been scaring the neighbours or forgetting to keep your stuff out of sight? 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Punkypink Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Well this morning some baliffs came over with a warrant for someone after that someone who gave my address to the courts as his own, but who obviously doesn't live here. We don't actually know this someone. One of them baliffs must have spotted an airsoft lying in the living room. They didnt take anything or confiscate anything to the best of my knowledge but blimey I can't find my hex key set now. Surprisingly for police officers they don't know what airsoft is, except for one who's knowledge of it amounted to being shot in the bum once by his mate with a moscart. They were posing with the G36 for piccies One of them was like "you don't seem very concerned" well... they're airsofts, legal, why should i be concerned? Was more bemusing really. Anyways told them to log my address down so any "I SAW A GUN" reports about my address would not bring them out on a fruitless raid. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Post the pics lol. I don't find it suprising that they know little about arisoft, every police officer i have ever meet has little knowledge on anything gun related (quite worrying when one was part of the ARU for the local area).

Mat Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Was it an armed visiting party, or did they send in the red shirt cannonfodder first (Ensign Slob, go and check behind that rock!) and have an unmarked volvo sat round the corner? *Thinks back to the postal delivery yesterday* "Awesome, my new gun!" Ooops. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 but blimey I can't find my hex key set now. Did you enjoy the handcuffing? Maybe they thought you might pick the lock with it, as you very well could, and took it. Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 You should have posed for pics with their guns. Link to post Share on other sites

Hedganian Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I generally try to avoid leaving RIFs where someone at the door can see them, to try to avoid issues. However, the police who have responded to various break-ins and things never seemed particularly bothered about any random RIFs which might have escaped being tidied away out of their view. The police even returned my stolen-and-recovered AW338 sniper rifle without any problems, so I guess I'm not likely to have any unpleasant visits from the local ARU. Hopefully. Why did they handcuff you, Punky? Normally they only do that if you're actually being arrested. I bet you asked 'em to, didn't you? Link to post Share on other sites
Punkypink Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Well the problem was the baliffs were let into the house while I was asleep by my other housemates thus they saw the guns which were well out of sight from the door. I did ask if they were ARU they said they weren't. Sed if they were I wouldnt be handcuffed sat on the sofa watching telly while they went about their business, I'd be face down outside the house on the ground. Strange tho, if I were to raid a place suspected of having firearms I'd send in the ARU. Wouldn't you? They didnt give me the pics of them posing. I'd love to post them up if I had em. They were having fun with my lightsaber too. As for why they had to handcuff me, who knows? Maybe cuz they weren't armed? Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Sorry but that last bit sounds like they handcuffed you in the hope of something else, dodgy police out there it seems. But i can't say much bad about them as twice i have had a random bag search and both times they have actually apologized to me for taking up my time. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Were you actually placed under arrest? I'm not sure they can just handcuff you for no reaosn if you were not resisting or otherwise presenting an immediate threat. Depending on the circumstances, people being arrested aren't always handcuffed. But hey, what do I know about police proccedures? (Not much, that's what) Link to post Share on other sites
MadMax1818 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 being handcuffed sounds a bit rough though. I had my work inspected by the cops. Had some fake M249 rounds sent to me. They got scanned and were seen as real rounds, they then waited for them to be delivered and then burst in. But i was ill and at home, so they had to come to me, and i just happened to have all my guns and gear on the kitchen table where i was cleaning it all. They got a nice view when they walked in Link to post Share on other sites
Punkypink Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Well they left the handcuffs on pretty loosely. Was no big deal. Too bad I forgot I had a FCS phamplet lying around, I could have introduced them to the sport. Link to post Share on other sites

Too bad I forgot I had a FCS phamplet lying around, I could have introduced them to the sport. Pull the other one, either you tried to go Matrix style on their collective *albartroth* as they walked in the door and they got you, or you asked them to shackle you!

FireKnife Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Now there is the answer. Where they dressed in loose clothing that could be pulled off in one go? You didn't ask your mates wether they had ordered a stripogram for you? 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites

Hedganian Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 This is getting weirder and weirder..... "Police" not in uniform, not armed, responding to a suspected firearms call, handcuffing someone who's asleep for no reason....? Are you sure these people were real police? Have you checked you aren't missing anything? Do your family/flatmates/whatever make a habit of just letting people in? Me, I'd be concerned. Link to post Share on other sites

Punkypink Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I have an official signed court warrant to search the premises so I'd imagine that yes, its real. Link to post Share on other sites
