Personal Vendetta Masquerading as Policing (Log #268, #371, #372, #25)
๐งพ Factual Summary
Multiple logs demonstrate that PC H. Lacey, acting under colour of law, exercised her police powers not for law enforcement, but for retaliation and control. Her motive, as evidenced across this campaign, appears to be:
- To suppress your complaints about harassment (Log #268)
- To disrupt your life through repeated intimidation, digital seizure, and surveillance (Log #371)
- To detain and punish you absent legal threshold (Log #25, #372)
โ๏ธ Statutory Framework: Abuse of Police Power
1๏ธโฃ Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015 โ Section 26
โA constable commits an offence if they knowingly exercise police powers for a purpose other than that for which the power is conferred.โ
- Evidence shows her use of arrest, bail, and property seizure was not to investigate crime, but to retaliate against lawful complaints
- Complaints to the IOPC and other bodies (Log #268) directly preceded increased police pressure
โ This satisfies s.26: Misuse of public power for improper purpose
2๏ธโฃ PACE 1984 โ Section 24 (Arrest Powers)
- Requires reasonable suspicion of involvement in an offence
- Arrest must be necessary (e.g. prevent harm, loss of evidence)
โ
No criminal charge filed
โ No outstanding investigation
