I have video evidence of major abuse of police power

I finally got my digital video recorder (from my security system) back from the evidence lockup a few days ago..... Something they should never have taken because it would subject illegal privilege.... In reviewing the footage we discovered something very interesting and it resulted in the following email:

Subject: RE: my Illegal arrest and seizure of goods 13 January 2023

 

It is clear from the video link that you relied solely on S 32 of PACE in conducting my purported arrest, search of our home and the seizure of my goods including medical and assistive technology.

S. 32 permits these actions only if you had “reasonable grounds for believing that the arrested person may present a danger to himself or others.”

 The concept that I, a severely visually disabled, autistic person could be said to be a danger to anyone is surely too ludicrous for even you too believe.

You can’t even stretch the logic to say the my seizure which you caused by this arrest attempt was evidence of my being a danger to himself, as you flatly denied in the video any such fear.

Subsection 2) which gives the power of search and seizure specifically states “a constable shall also have power in any such case”. The words “in any such case” can only relate to subsection 1) quoted above and so the search and seizure were ultra vires, as the conditional clause 1 was not satisfied so you can not then proceed to onto 2.

To make it even worse, you stated as absolute fact as justification for the arrest that the moment an allegation of stalking and harassment had been made you had no alternative but to effect an immediate arrest, ignoring the fact we had been making that allegation about [Deleted] (who has demonstrated many times he is clearly capable of being a danger to others) for 18 months or more, and you had taken no such action with him, until his activities became so extreme that even you had to take steps, and even then watering down the charges so that the overall charge of stalking and harassment was reduced to a series of minor non indictable offences.

To any reasonable third party (Judge, jury, newspaper), the only possible conclusion is that you have yet again deliberately abused your position to continue your targeted campaign of harassment and stalking against me to benefit your friend [Deleted] and to get yourself out of the almighty hole you have dug for yourself. 

This is a fully documented and evidenced allegation, so by your own words, it is you who should now be arrested, your home searched and your goods seized."

If you are not arrested and charged I will want to know why.
