That is the advice the Met are giving out if you are a female being arrested by a single male cop. |

You can be accused of avoiding arrest by following one of the other pieces of advice which is to run to a house for help. |

...and the householder could be accused of aiding a criminal to avoid arrest! |

I doubt that Sarah had ever had any dealings with the law. To boot she had most probably broken the Covid rules. In her position, confronted with a plain clothes policeman who showed his warrant card, I would have most probably got into his car too! This is the scary thing about this case. |

I’ve often thought about this too…..not on foot, driving but never the less….I regularly travel the A34 between M3 Hampshire and M40 Oxfordshire and vice versa, its approx a 70 mile stretch of dual carriageway mainly unlit and isolated. |

The A34 is more of a bypass, except at Newbury and Abingdon. Many of the exits only lead, eventually, to rural villages. |

One question that might not have been asked is why wasn't he in a police car? |

Many of the plain clothes policemen in London drive unmarked police cars, ZZzzz |

you wouldn't believe the apparent state of undercover cars, some look like MOT wrecks...merely to blend in with the lowlifes they are shadowing.... |

I was stopped by an unmarked police car about 25 years ago while going home for lunch. I approached a roundabout i the RH lane - the correct lane to go straight on and spotted both cars in front of me were turning right. As there was no vehicle in the left lane I crossed to it as it would be quicker for me. Off at my turning a car overtook me then slowed and put on a small blue police sign at the bottom of his rear window. |

A Police & Crime Commissioner has said that women should educate themselves in when and how they can be arrested. |

I can't remember the last time I walked anywhere on my own when no one else was around and I certainly wouldn't trust any police man any more whatever they had on them to prove they are the real police. |

It's a sad state of affairs when anyone is scared of the police but fully understandable right now. |

Yet again,it's 'Women should do this or that' - not - 'This bloke is a bit dodgy, (and a few of his police friends) we'd better keep an eye on him/them' |

Shocking though the Sarah E case is, that kind of behaviour by a police officer is uncommon, I believe. |

I think the onus is on the Police to make some ruling.....perhaps a woman should only be arrested if there are two policeman in attendance. This wouldn't mean that only one policeman couldn't stop a woman but if they wished to arrest a woman there should be at least two policeman in attendance before that woman can be put in a car. |

I agree, Belle, a good idea. If that was the ruling, I would not get in a car with only one officer. |
