- Date of Incident: 02 May 2025
- Time: Call received at 12:00 PM; Attended Court approx. 3:00 PM.
- Incident Type: Ambush Hearing at Reading Magistrates' Court (Bail Variation); Procedural Failure & Misleading of the Court by Police.
- Participants: Myself, PC P4867 H. Lacey (Thames Valley Police), Unnamed Magistrates.
- Sequence of Events:
- The Ambush: I received a call from the court at noon, demanding I attend a hearing for my bail variation application that was scheduled for 9:00 AM that same day. I had received zero prior notification of this hearing.
- The Confrontation: Upon attending, the key antagonist, PC Harriet Lacey, was present in the courtroom.
- The Lie: A Magistrate asked PC Lacey a direct and critical question: Did she know about the allegations of harassment and the threats that I had made against my neighbours?
- PC Lacey responded, for the official court record, with a single word: "NO."
- The Unjust Outcome: Based on this false and incomplete information, the Magistrates' Court immediately refused my application to vary the bail conditions.
- My Perception of Purpose & Impact (Then and Now):
- This is the definitive, irrefutable proof that PC Harriet Lacey willfully misled a court of law. My extensive logs, police reports, and communications with TVP prove that she was either directly aware of my complaints or was grossly negligent in her duties as the Officer in the Case by remaining unaware. Her "NO" was a lie.
- This lie directly led to a miscarriage of justice. My bail conditions were unfairly upheld because the court was deliberately kept in the dark by a police officer.
- The court's own failure to properly notify me of the hearing is a catastrophic procedural failure and a breach of my right to a fair hearing under ECHR Article 6.
- This entire event is a cornerstone of my complaint against PC Lacey to the IOPC and my Judicial Review against the Magistrates' Court for procedural impropriety and bias.
