Why would the police stiffen their rules of engagement following an incident with the armed forces? I thought they had different rules, to be honest.Originally Posted by Jive Brummie

Leroy (Satchel) Paige (1906-1982)
Mickey Mouse's girlfriend, Minnie, made her film debut, along with Mickey, in "Steamboat Willie" on November 18, 1928.
That date is recognized as her official birthday.

Be it army, navy, air force or armed police. By having one set of rules you'll find the potential ambiguity which may occur dependant on 'whos' rules you follow...doesn't exist. One rule for everyone.
They outline many different things...and if you want to know them I'm sure they're probably on line, alternatively you could join up and you'll be instructed in them for free!
Only variation is one particular rule...which doesn't apply in Scotland.

Hmm... I'm sure you're right, but that seems odd. For example, my extensive research (watching "The Bill") reveals that the police shout something along the lines of "Halt! Armed police!" before shooting. This sort of warning seems impractical in a war situation.Originally Posted by Jive Brummie
Remember, Pt. Clegg was manning a police/army roadblock, dealing with civilians. In that situation where the armed forces are supporting a civilian police force it's not unreasonable that they should all have the same rules of engagement (otherwise you'd have a daft situation where a soldier can open fire but the policeman standing next to him can't.)Originally Posted by MartinHarper
If a soldier is shooting at enemy soldiers in time of war, the situation and rules that apply are rather different.
its interesting the stories that are appearing now - the police are not looking very good at all.
looking dodgy in fact

I heard that the story behind that is that an advertising agency did it as a "look-see" just to show to VW execs to be allowed to pitch for the VW advertising account.Originally Posted by Robin
Inevitably it leaked onto the Internet and caused such a fuss that VW were forced into issuing a statement disclaiming responsibility and certifying that that agency would never ever be given any VW business.
Hopefully the agency made up for the loss in gaining other clients on the strength of the furore.
