Ooh, scary. (And they will - do you know how few officers cover an area in the UK, nowadays)

Just make sure you use disposable gloves using your door handle in the future, and definately no 5 o'clock tea for foreseeable future

HTH

No, but they already know where you live and they won't forget it.

They're not gonna nick you for it

That’s just asking for it - before Xmas also

They're not gonna nick you for it and I doubt it'd meet the threshold for an arrest even if they wanted to - it's a PR disaster waiting to happen, and the Police know they're on a knife-edge with this stuff already. Several of the bobbies I know are under strict, specific, instructions to not arrest people at all for minor COVID related offences.

Besides which, at some point you owe it to yourself anyway. Despite PACE, cops are still pretty good at being your best friendly mate and catching you with your pants down.

If they believe you're committing a crime, and have evidence, then they should be cautioning you and you should be getting a solicitor. What things like the OPs event is (Taken at face value) is a fishing expedition and/or an attempt to scare you.

(And I say this as somebody relatively pro police)

After five minutes I'd have gone for that option.

They probably left after three minutes of polite enquiry.

Time flies when you're enjoying yourself.

Not that you would know.

Maybe you start a stopwatch when the doorbell rings or can track it on your CCTV but they aren't autistic like you.

I mean I've not talked to anyone in person that long for months, it might be the policeman trying to escape if it were me

A whole hour or maybe it might've been half an hour.

It might've been half an hour but I know they were exhausted by the end.

Sorry I missed a detail that their son and his partner moved home from London and just happened to be a day or so before tier 4 and all this New Variant news. But otherwise that's the full story.

A whole hour is a long time to be on the doorstep at this time of year. I wonder what really happened.
