How long would the police keep a body if it was part of a murder investigation in the uk?
The body is NOT kept as evidence. The human body decomposes rapidly therefore a deceased person would lose evidentiary value rapidly. Homicide evidence taken from the body would consist of: photos, blood and tissue samples, drawings and sketches, measurements, clothing and personal efficts. The family of the deceased has a right to burial regardless of manner of death, not to mention a lot of space is required for storage of a body. Most morgues have a turn around time of roughly 3-4 days. Unclaimed bodies are buried in a goverment cemetary.
Why do cops take pictures of your tattoos when booked?
So I got arrested for driving on a suspended license after I made a seriously false assumption that cops don't really patrol empty highways at 2 in the morning. While they were booking me at their station, the arresting officer remarked to another officer that he saw I had a tattoo on my chest. They told me to take of my shirt, and they began taking pics of my tattoos while holding up a ruler to them, and asking me if they had any specific meanings. I asked them what was going on and what this had to do with the what I was being charged with, but they told me to just shut up and answer the question. Oh and yeah, before they put me in the holding tank, they made me give them my belt, and wouldn't explain that either. I had to walk around holding up my jeans. I don't know if it was to just aggravate me or what. So if there in anyone in law enforcement familiar with those kinds of procedures, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
If someone takes a cellphone picture of me without my consent, how can I make sure that they've deleted it?
This may come as a surprise, but you have no control over what they do with that photo in most situations. This is true in pretty much all of Europe, Asia and the Americas.There are some limits, fortunately. If they took the photo where you have an expectation of privacy, like while using the toilet, they may be running afoul of local laws (e.g. US state laws often cover this; also illegal in UK and Japan, and surely other places). Same for spy photos of intimate situations in a bedroom, if you know what I mean. Shooting these and then sexting it is illegal in most states in the US.Also, laws in most countries prevent them from using your likeness for promoting a business or product without your permission. This is called the Personality Rights (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per...). Again, this exists in one form or another internationally.Further, you could have forbidden photography while on your premises. Many dance clubs and other venues post signs forbidding photography, for example. Or you may have told the person verbally. Either way, this makes "no photography" a condition for entry and violating this means that the person is now trespassing. Your house, your rules.But unless they agree to delete the photo(s) as a condition for remaining on the premises, all you can do is kick them out; maybe with the help of the police. You have no rights to force any photographer to delete a photo. Ever.When you are in a public place and people can see you, you have no rights to tell them not to look. Same with photography; you can't compel them to not shoot photos. You can cover yourself up, which solves both I guess, but that is your choice, you can't dictate how others act in public.
