Point being, if you have nothing to hide or worry about, you are fine, fact.

Come on, do you really believe that? Tell that to the Birmingham Six and the Gilford  Four! Or to anyone who is Irish, or Dark-skinned or Muslim or any other potential target and victim of the antiterrorism paranoia.
I speak from experience. I was twice arrested and tortured for 72 hours by the forces of the crown. I was then locked up on trumped-up charges. At the appeal court when my solicitor kept questoning the police and soldiers about changing their testimony from the first trial he was held for contempt by the judge. I sincerely hope that nothing similar ever happen to you.

Hope, Light, Love & Respect

If we don't shoot them before asking questions? Unfortunately when the pressure from the political establishment is put to bear to get fast results forensic evidence can still  be either supressed or even tampered with.

Ever wandered why?
Do the force know about your status? What is their reaction? Has at the culture really changed at all level? What support has been offered to you? Anyway it is good to know that we will have an allie of your caliber inside the system. Good luck on your battle against all prejudices.

Well not every country has the US gun culture
and no, as ive not applied yet, but its highly likely i will get in, transgender, as well as other minority groups are actively recruited by the british police and other civil agencies...
carear advancement and morals... both are hand in hand, i want to rise to the top, but only for a position with ability for change, and to prove to myself and my family that i can suceed.

Good luck on being a police officer Rachael. Stay safe.
