I will reply, because I don't agree with your perception and the implications of your comment.

  1. How many times have I casually broken the law and felt okay doing it

In work? Literally never. Not once. Everything is recorded in BWV and is disclosable in court. Documentation and usually a statement is required for the exercise of any legal power. It's all auditable. We even had community engagement groups who watch videos of incidents chosen at random by a computer, and I've had several of mine pulled up for feedback by them.

Putting aside the obvious ethical reasons why I haven't done that and wouldn't want to. Why would I risk my career and income anyway?

  1. How many times have I seen another officer break the law and protected them?

Never. Not once. I have reported multiple colleagues in the past for doing things which I thought were questionable, and those concerns were always appropriately actioned by management. I faced no consequences from my peers or the organisation for doing so.

Your presumptions are incorrect. Maybe they are correct where you live, I don't know, but they're not my experience at all. For what it's worth, I'm not American.

I'm not saying these things don't happen and as I've said repeatedly, I'm not saying modern policing is without issues. As someone who has worked in the criminal justice system for years with multiple degrees in the area, your perception of how things actually work in real life and how those problems manifest are not correct, and your judgements towards individuals (including myself) are totally unfair and without nuance.

I also said this:

There ARE problems with policing in 2024, as there always have been before, and they need acknowledging and fixing.

It's called nuance.

It is as insane as it sounds. Yes, alternative dispute resolution is perfectly commonplace and indeed in many countries - such as mine - there is an expectation that you attempt ADR before bringing a matter to court, unless there is some reason why you couldn't.

That's fine. That's not an issue.

Disney claimed that due to the terms and conditions of the Disney+ video streaming service, anyone who has or had a subscription agrees to resolve any and all disputes with Disney through mediation and they therefore waive any recourse through the courts. For absolutely any form of dispute, even a wrongful death.

That is absolutely insane and evil to even attempt and there is no justifying it.

Isn't that kinda the whole point of them? I'm more surprised they hadn't done so already.

Not including work devices - probably my old university files. I intentionally wrote about topics relevant to the career I wanted (which I now have) and they're genuinely useful for going back and referring to.

Fair enough. Well hopefully it helps some Europeans out! I only noticed it by accident because I sit by the back toilets due to IBS anyway.

Edit: I've done this with easyJet, Wizzair and Vueling - for reference

I always buy an aisle seat so I can stretch my legs and get up whenever I need.

I've also learned that most airlines (at least here in Europe) fill their seats from the front back. So if you sit near the back and keep an eye on the back row, sometimes it's completely unoccupied. In which case I move there and can practically lie down.

I do. Comments like his are actively contributing towards the racist violent disorder taking place right now. It's disgusting.
