arrest

[redmini87]

could any one tell me,if a female is arrested does there have to be a female arresting officer in the police car with her .also does there have to be two police officers in the car

[ummmm]

1. No

2. Yes

[redmini87]

my friend was taken away with just one male officer in the car ,she did tell him she thought this was wrong and he just would not answer her

[mrs_overall]

I've spoken to my brother who is a police officer and he says
1. No
2. No

If a policeman was on his own in a patrol car and say for example he came across a female murderer (murderess?) it would be ludicrous if he couldn't arrest her if he was on his own.
Mind you, different police forces may have their own rules on the subject.

What would she rather he had done? She would have moaned if he had kept her hanging about waiting for a car and another police offier to show up (impossible in some rural areas) or actally walked her to the police station which we would have done back in the sixties but, apparantly too tough for people nowadays. Can't be seen in handcuffs, infringes human rights apparently. Far better not to give a police officer grounds to arrest you in the first place I would have thought but, hey, what do I know having got to 59 without ever having had a fight, been arrested or convicted of anything. Perhaps my not drinking may have some bearing on that!!l

police officers patrol on there own at times therefore are able to arrest on their own Only radioing for help if needed.

There must, however, be a female officer present at the receiving police station.

there were 5 police officers at the scene at the time he was taken
