RAF Police Visit Today

[headset 57]

THE RAF Plods have no authority out side a MOD establishment over and above what a normal citizen has.

I'm with Jim on this one, I have just spoke to a friend of mine who just happens to be in Grampian Police and he has confirmed what I already knew myself through both good and bad experiences The RAFP have no authority outside the wire, they may request you to move on but thats it, if they feel to go any further then they must call upon the services of the local force, which in Scotland if you aren't causing an offence or obstruction there isn't much they will or can do.

Does the differences in certain laws between Scotland and England affect this matter?

Anyway as has been said it isn't the enthusiast's that are causing the problem, and Jim(Bluetail) certainly isn't going to spoil anything for anyone so please refrain from abusive posts towards fellow spotters, aren't we all meant to be on the same side.

Very last one from me:
None of the posts have been abusive in nature.
Also it's not about what they ( RAFP ) can and can't do, you won't know it's been done at the time.
Guys you all live work visit up there not me, it's up to you to help sort out the problem instead of whining about it on here.

at the end of the day, if you have a problem and show attitude to wards a RAFP, then they will ask MOd plod to move you on, which they can,

This isn't a dig but a question,

Is there any MoD police at Kinloss or Lossiemouth? If there is this is a new one on me. The closest MoD police to the area that I'm aware of, are at Cameron Barracks Inverness.

Yes they have 1 PC who is a Defence Community Police Officer, not to be confused with a PCSO as MDP don't have any and they aren't in use in Scotland!. They are a home beat officer who reguarly visit the base.

Always be polite, not just to the police be they MOD RAFP CIVPOL or Sting and his friends, life rubs along a lot better if you are polite.
