Seminar:
You are a probationary constable on foot patrol with your
Senior Constable partner. It is 5.00pm on a Sunday
afternoon when on a routine patrol past a local pub you
notice a group of people outside the pub, including a few
children (the outdoor bistro is adjacent). As you approach
you see two men rolling around, wrestling, periodically
swearing, sometimes laughing. As you approach, they get
to their feet. They appear unsteady and you can smell
alcohol on their breath.
Work out the full range of possibilities available all need
to be recognised in some form in the readings this week.
