What legal duty do people have to report crimes in Scotland and what crimes are they legally bound to report t

Any crime that has someone losing out or suffering when they shouldn't should be reporting. It's not just a legal thing, it's conscience as well. I guess if it was a relative or best friend you obviously wouldn't report them.\nI would take a stab at it being every-ones duty to report crimes and illegal activities that they may witness...\n\nMake the police earn their pay ;o)\n\nJems x

Even with a warrant the police should ask the permission of the householder (your sister) before entering.  They should also seek entry at a reasonable time. They should not be entering the house illicitly in this way, as it is your sister's home and her son is only a licensee, i.e. someone whom she allows to live there.  He is no longer her dependant, so that is his position. The purpose of the warrant is to make it clear that if, having sought admission, the householder is not willing to admit them, they will then proceed to use force.  What they did was outrageous and in breach of the code of conduct in the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) and she would be justified in making a complaint against them.

Laws differ by state but it is branishing, intimiadating, threatening, if you fear for your life report it they will be charged and they will be pissed but might not do it so lightly next time.

In Ireland they changed the law after Veronica Guerin was shot, now if you have loads of stuff, cars/houses n the like and you cant prove how you came by the money to buy these things then the police can not only take the house but also everything in it down to the clothes of your back. As far as I know the same thing happens in England. Hope that helps

Try the Scottish board of tourism. You can Google them and visit their web site, for all sorts of information.\nPerhaps you can e-mail them for that sort of information.\nI'm not sure if they have that option, as I haven't been back to Scotland for many years. But no harm in asking, and I wouldn't be surprised if they did have it.

The only information i can give you is from the BiiAB level 2 National certificate for personal licence holders handbook for England and Wales. I can't imagine it would be much different in Scotland!\nWhere the alcohol by volume (abv) is over 0.5% it is classed as alcohol for the purpose of licensing law.\nIt is an offence to sell liqueur confectionery to a person under 16.\nSo i guess it wouldn't be included in the legislation because (depending how strong these babies are!) for the purpose of the licensing law it is not classified as alcohol.\n\nDon't know if that helps or not.

You might be better off to contact the State Police with criminal complaints on county officers.  Locally they are a brotherhood and unlikely to do anything but send out a warning.

The question is are they trained enough to do so?\n\nIn my opinion they have no more responsibility than any other adult to be watchful but be very careful as there are countless stories of (generally) well meaning people ruining lives by jumping to conclusions (Shetlands anyone!).\n\nA caretaker making a statement to the effect he believes there is a problem could:\n\n1) be wrong and cause massive harm\n2) be right or wrong (but with no evidence) and be sued into bankruptcy\n3) be right and be subject to retaliation.\n\nThis is not an issue of whether they are alert, it is whether they have a greater responsibility and exposure than the rest of us.\n\nIn answer to the specific question - it is down to the individual I don't believe you can generalise although what is the correct level of diligence?

Report it to the District or Province Prosecutors Office or Department.  Usually they are the overseers of local police & constabularies.

Unfortunately, if you know that someone is doing something wrong and fail to do nothing about it, you can also be charged with a crime. I suggest taking a look at http://www.findlaw.com for information.

sorry no idea, hope someone does so that they help you.  By the way, why not contact the police itself on phone, that will be even a quick search for the information you need right.

In the UK, the police do not need a warrant to arrest you for any criminal offense if they have reasonable grounds  for believing you committed it or may be about to do so. The time of night and where the arrest takes place are totally immaterial as far as the law is concerned.\n\nThe police may need a search warrant to search your property, but this does not affect their right to arrest you.
