He left the keys with the young man so he could listen to the radio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A friend of this young man came along and decided they should go for a drive. They had just gone a minute down the road when they were stopped by the police. The young man, who was left in the car, telephoned my son, who immediately went to the scene. He informed the police officer that he had not given either of the two people in the car permission to drive it and wanted to press charges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The policeman said OK, but he had called a tow truck and the car had to be impounded and he would have to go to the pound to collect his car.&lt;br /&gt;On arriving at the pound, he was informed he would have to pay £185 fees and fines, to retrieve his car. My son receives £66 a week in benefits, and he was informed by the pound attendants that the police officer who was involved could have it released free of charge. So my son called Dudley Police Station where they informed him the police officer was now off duty and wouldn't be back on duty till Friday the 13th of august.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On&amp;nbsp; Friday morning the police officer called my son to inform him , he did not believe him, but chose to believe the 17 Year old who was driving the car, whom my son didn't know who said my son had given him permission to drive the car without any insurance or license.My son is 33 and is a responsible adult and would never condone this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway because of this police officers actions the bill to recover the car from the pound is now £290 which neither I nor my son have. So while the person who took and drove the car without permission is allowed to go on his merry way, my son whose only guilt was he was careless to leave his keys in his car is penalized. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He will now lose his only means of mobility, because as the charges to recover his car rise by £35 a day, he has no hope of ever recovering his car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I spoke to a police officer from Dudley, she informed me that the young man in question could not be charged because he had the approval of the other man in the car, with whom my son had left the keys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder if no criminal act was involved why my son’s car was impounded, he was on the scene prior to it being towed away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do the police in Dudley have the power to decide who is guilty and who is innocent, and to punish without any recourse to the courts?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On questioning the female police officer, she informed me the matter was concluded, and no further action would be considered and that she was now terminating the phone call, which she duly did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked for the name or numbers of the officers involved so that I could report their actions&amp;nbsp; to a superior officer, but was refused.&lt;br /&gt;When I asked to speak to the officer in charge of the police station I was informed that there is nobody in charge, which seems correct, judging by the way the police in Dudley enforce the law. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this police officer is correct in her quoting of the law, it means we can no longer entrust the keys of our homes or our business premises to anybody. &lt;br /&gt;Imagine you own a shop or small business with a large amount of expensive stock and if you unfortunately have a dishonest security guard on your premises, he can invite his friends to help themselves to your goods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if the police catch them, no charges will be brought because they have the permission of the key holder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did you realize when you handed over your keys, you gave that person permission to do what he likes with your goods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has broke no laws according to this Dudley police officer as he himself did not steal anything from your premises, and what we would consider to be thieves are not considered thieves by the Dudley Police Force, because they had the permission of the key holder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Follow me as I endeavour to find out what is happening to the dudley&amp;nbsp; police force.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5115398051948364323-9197389106774020962?l=dudleycops.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dudleycops.blogspot.com/feeds/9197389106774020962/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dudleycops.blogspot.com/2010/09/dudley-police-penalize-victim-and.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5115398051948364323/posts/default/9197389106774020962'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5115398051948364323/posts/default/9197389106774020962'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dudleycops.blogspot.com/2010/09/dudley-police-penalize-victim-and.html' title='Dudley Police; Penalize The Victim and Release The Criminal ?'/><author><name>John</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07079349896683614281</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115398051948364323.post-4376472706701633896</id><published>2010-08-23T16:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-25T18:43:09.759-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Attempting to contact the sergeant in charge of Dudley Police Station</title><content type='html'>http://www.west-midlands.police.uk/np/walsall/nh.asp?ID=138&lt;br /&gt;Hello is this the connection to Dudley Police Station and is Sergeant Teri Timmins. the person in charge of Dudley Police Station.

Dudley Castle has stood on a hill overlooking the town since the 11th century, and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. The present castle dates from the 13th century, and provided the centre around which the town grew. Dating from the 12th century are the ruins of St James Priory, set within the Priory Park. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dudley is part of the West Midlands conurbation, and is located south of Wolverhampton. It is the largest town in the Black Country. For many years the town (but not the castle) formed part of an exclave of Worcestershire entirely surrounded by Staffordshire which has determined the fact that, in ecclesiastical terms, it has remained part of the Anglican Diocese of Worcester.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The town industrialised rapidly in the 18th and 19th centuries, and its population grew dramatically. Due to its heavy and highly polluting industries it became a central part of the Black Country. The main industries in Dudley included coal and limestone mining. Other industries included iron, steel, engineering, metallurgy, glass cutting, textiles and leatherworking. Most of these industries have declined in recent decades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Of historical significance, the first Newcomen steam engine was installed at the Conygree coalworks a mile east of Dudley Castle in 1712.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dudley was a predominantly rural town as recently as the early 18th century, after which the Industrial Revolution saw many factories and coalpits open up around the town as well as houses for the workers to live in were being built. Further development took place in the 19th century. The lack of clean drinking water and proper sewers led to Dudley being declared 'the most unhealthy place in the country' in 1852 with an average age at death of 16 years and 7 months (compared to an average of 29 years 4 months for all England and Wales).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The town centre is a mix of old and modern buildings, with some surviving from as far back as the 18th century, while others were built in the second half of the 20th century. Modern shopping developments include the Churchill Shopping Preicint (opened in 1969 and named after the late prime minister Sir Winston Churchill who died four years earlier) and the indoor Trident Centre which opened around the same time. The Churchill Shopping Preicint was originally an open-air centre owned and run by the local council, only to be sold to a private company in 1991 - within two years a substantial refurishment of the preicint had been completed, which included a roof being fitted&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Most of the town's multiple stores were situated on Market Place and High Street. However, the development of the Merry Hill Shopping Centre four miles away at Brierley Hill during the second half of the 1980s saw most of the multiple stores (including Marks and Spencer and British Home Stores) relocate from Dudley and predominantly replaced by discount stores. The financial crisis and recession which has hit Britain and most of the rest of the world since 2007 has resulted in many of the retail units in Dudley town centre becoming vacant. The Woolworths store on Market Place closed in December 2008 when the company went bankrupt, and has been replaced by an indoor market, though few of the other stores which became vacant around the same time have been reoccupied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5115398051948364323-3217588754185800578?l=dudleycops.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dudleycops.blogspot.com/feeds/3217588754185800578/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dudleycops.blogspot.com/2010/08/brief-history-of-dudley.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5115398051948364323/posts/default/3217588754185800578'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5115398051948364323/posts/default/3217588754185800578'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dudleycops.blogspot.com/2010/08/brief-history-of-dudley.html' title='A Brief History  of Dudley'/><author><name>John</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07079349896683614281</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
