Section 59 Warning Update

As written earlier in this blog, I found out that I was wrongly issued a section 59 warning back in May. In short, kids on nicked bikes were being cretins about 750 yards from where I was repairing my broken bike (after the drowning). I was not riding due to the bike being broken and was right next to the field where my next door neighbour allows me to shoot and keep the bike if necessary. Two PCSO's basically gave me the 59 warning for the crimes committed by the cretins. They came to the large field because the people in the houses quite rightly rang the police to report the kids on mini motos and a trials bike.

I didnt know I had a 59 until over a month after the date I met the PCSO's. This is when my firearms liason officer came to give me a letter warning me over the 59!! I was mortified as I have never been in trouble with the police before and have helped these very PCSO's with trouble in the community locally.  I wrote to the chief inspector in the hope of clearing my name. Last week I finally got a phone call from the very pleasant CI and he is now looking into this falsly issued warning. Im hoping I will have my name cleared and the section 59 removed.

As a mini rant, i think that these poorly trained PCSO's should not be given the power to assign 59 warnings or anything else to any party alledged to be breaking the law. I would have preferred a qualified traffic officer to come to me and tell me exactly what offence I had committed by sitting in a field next to a broken bike.

Incidentally the chavs are still riding up and down the pavement outside my house / in the field. Perhaps the PCSO's done me because I was a sitting duck and an easy target.
