Hi Scouse,
You say you caught this arsehole with speed on him .. wht didn't the police charge him with posession ?
Did you make him turn his pockets out ?
... maybe he did what slimline66 suggested you make him do - feed him his wares !!
For me the crime is that he was hanging around 11-13 year old girls doing it. Are those the circumstances you caught him under ?
Has your daughter ever taken speed ? .. how does she know this man ? ... do you know of him ?
Find out these details first before:
a) Putting yourself at risk of an ABH/GBH charge by 'citizen's arrest' ing him on a more fruitful occasion.
b) Making assertions that the CPS should act on insufficient evidence .. as I they never do anyway !
c) Debating on a forum about a scenario with total bias, where is the defendant's side of the story ?
Convince me with facts and figures and give me a locale .. I may be tempted to show you how to deal with a skally - and I'm not even a Scouser ! - I hear you've developed good community policing there without involving the bussies !!
Sound it out on your street man, if you have a valid case, I'm sure it will get sorted. Be honest though it is so easy to start false rumours and start lynch mobs. Don't bear false witness against your neighbour and all that .. people don't like being conned. This isn't a trial by jury !! - I'm confused again !
Dave.
