Section 4 Public Order act
I am due to stand trial in April for Section 4 of Public Order Act, The circumstances are these:
- Around 30-40 Males aged 17-30 were brawling outside a public house, then around 15 officers arrived to retain order.
- After order had been retained, details were being taken then people started fighting again.
- I was arrested for Section 4, I agree that I was being threatening but in the way of splitting a fight between friends up, by pushing people against the wall and holding them.
- I have never been interviewed.
- 8 of the other people who were arrested were all given fixed penalty fines of �80.00
- There are 14 defendant witnesses and 5 prosectution witnesses.
- So far since Semptember when this happened, only 3 of the 5 officers have submitted statements, 2 of which contradict each other.
- CCTV which should of been recording the area has not been submitted as evidence.
- The officer who arrested me is not the same officer as what it says on the charge sheet.
Well they are the circumstances, I have pleaded not guilty due to how everything against me is not accurate.
What do you think the out come of this will be?
Guilty / Not Guilty
Thank You.

I'd have thought you have a chance, especially if the conflict in police evidence is significant rather than just getting the time wrong by a couple of minutes. You can ask why CCTV evidence isn't being used (can you get hold of it yourself or has it been wiped?) The number of witnesses doesn't really matter, it's their credibility that's important (ie if the five are magistrates and the 14 are drunks, it's of no great help to you).
