@Spartacus Your take on the issue is well balanced and your advice is much appreciated. You rightly say that they were only doing their job and are they are tasked by others with higher rank. Doubtless there are great demands on their time these days such that they don't devote any time to burglaries. They just issue a crime number for insurance purposes. A quick check on the electoral register would show who has resided at this family home in recent decades. Similarly, they could have gone to my neighbours and asked who lived here. But no they didnt. After I put a flee in their ears, they just drove off without checking. Expediency can be no excuse for unprofessional behaviour. Doing it once is tolerable but for them to do something similar to the other person is unacceptable by any standards. They just turned up and one really got into my face right at the off. There was no mention as to what it was about ie whether it was about motoring, immigration, murder or whatever. I was seriously angered and offended by their attempts to bully me to deprive me of my rights. That really stuck in my craw. I have cooled down somewhat now and can look at it more objectively.

Yesterday I had a PM msg from another resident in the same ward who suffered in a similar fashion. But in his case the police made accusations. These were instantly rebutted and proven to be false and trumped up. The two useful idiots" in blue left with their tails between their legs but did not offer an apology. A case may be brought against the elected official who initiated this harassment and so I will decline at this stage to reveal which ward.

Of course I'm not! I don't even know the guy. They looked rather stupid when I asked if they had checked the Electoral Register.

Many thanks for your confirmation. It is not easy to think on one's feet when being confronted on the doorstep by two overly assertive policemen -especially for a frail septuagenarian. They did not hint at any offence or provide any reason for looking for this other guy but their bullying and intimidation was frankly unacceptable in this day and age. They just assumed I was the other guy and wouldn't let up. I suspect they were put up to it by s public official with a certain agenda who got their facts wrong. The two policemen were simply useful,idiots in this case. Would I be right Councillor? Edited to remove photos

@Rockets You summed it up very well. I would also add that the extra week extension coincided with the foundationschools closing so that they could include a week od reduced traffic stats . The cynicism and hypocrisy of the the Labour Councillors is quite incredible. They are taking us for mugs.

Possibly I fit a certain profile but I am a law-abiding citizen who has just been at the receiving end of abuse of office by two police officers. Yesterday at 18:38 my doorbell rang. I opened the door to find a pair of policemen, one of whom immediately stepped forward and put his face within 12" of mine. He (No 1)inquired "John Smith??" [[ I have substituted the name John Smith for the name he enquired about]] I asked him to step back because he was really in my face and he didnt have a mask. It was as though he wanted anyone else in the house to see and hear what he had to say. When he stepped back, I responded with "No" He then asked "Are you John Smith?". I responded with "no". His companion (No 2) asked, in an intolerant fashion, "Are you John Smith?" I again responded "No" No 1- Are you sure you are not John Smith? I responded "No" No 2- Can you prove you are not John Smith? My response "Yes, but I do not have to." No 1- You must provide identification when asked. My response "No, I don't have to" No 2 - Yes, you must provide proof of identity when asked. My response "No, I don't. I think there is some mix up here" No 1- Do you know John Smith? My response - "No" They kept on in this accusatory manner without mentioning what the matter was about and demanding if I knew John Smith. When I had enough I said to them... "Look, you come to my house and ring the door bell. I open the door and you imply that I am someone called John Smith. I have repeatedly to you I am not him. I do not know him. You have repeatedly asked to prove I am not him. Under the law I am not obliged to carry or provide you with any ID. I am at my home. If I was out on the street even then I am not obliged to provide ID if you ask for it. But you come to my home a harass me about the identity of another person whom I do not know. If you want to know who lives here, golook up the Electoral Register" Despite that they kept banging on. I said to them "Your clearly working off incorrect information or somone has put you up to this. So, if you have finished,just get on your way," After conversing between muttering between themselves they turned on their heels and left. They were from Peckham Police station and their IDs are? PC 2604AS and PC1482AS. See photo. Background has been erased to obscure the address.
