  • Police have broken so many laws - will the case be dropped?

    Hi guys

    I'm dealing with a really stressful situation and I really need some advice.

    I was the victim of false sexual allegations that the police arrested me for last year, they also seized all of my devices.

    Similar thing happened again earlier this year and they took all of my devices again.

    They claimed to have found illegal images on my computer which I don't understand how that's possible, my main concern is that because of my mental health problems, they had put pressure on me and twisted things I'd said so I ended up incriminating myself without realising it at the time since I was in a bit of a mental health crisis.

    Since I was last arrested I became very well acquainted with the laws that the police have to abide by, and I counted at least 10 acts of PACE and similar legislation that have been broken.
    Would this make any evidence inadmissible? Are the CPS likely to drop the case because of the amount of laws that were broken?

      I did the first time, but last time they somehow made a mistake and sent the wrong solicitor which I didn't realise until it was too late then was told he couldn't be in the same room because of COVID. That's when they started the interview and walked all over me

        Hindsight is wonderful but you should not have agreed to the interview without representation. Have you got back in touch with the original solicitor? What do they say? What stage are you at in the case? Have you been formally charged with an offence? Do you have a court date? It is hard to know what to advise at this stage other than go and see a solicitor you trust.

          I haven't contact the original solicitor but I'll try again tomorrow.

          They are just waiting for the analysis of my devices.

          Never been charged, but it just doesn't seem fair that they can do this after breaking so many laws they have to abide by, I read that it can make the evidence inadmissible if they have broken the law, and so I think the investigation should have been discontinued
