Those two posts will really scramble their psychological profiling...

The only thing that's mythical is your ability to find the real details of some random person on the web, where they haven't used their name in their username, signature or in a post. Try it.

Open your eyes. In Saddler's case, there's enough information in his profile to find out his name in about 10 seconds and he's already said he uses the same username across different forums.

Anyway, that's enough from me today. I'm off to open a beer and light the barbecue.

Take care everyone, you don't know who might be watching...

I agree with JSC, through reading this, the main thing that stands out in saddlers case is....

It was a post about the local FEO's themselves - so if tipped off the posts are out there, and FEO's informed, highly likely one of them might take a look

It was about a shotty, able to slamfire, highly likely to be a 1897. if he said he had one on the post, then that limits the police's scope to who it might be. same as if in a post I said I have a delisle and live in Luton, it wouldn't take Beds an awfully long time to narrow it down.

third, his profile generally links to his trade page, that gives away an even bigger clue to who he is, especially if through many meetings with FEO's they know what he does...

and lastly, you seem surprised that the FEO's picked up on the thread at all, yet how many times (especially when discussing certain constabularies) are we warned that FEO's do come and look on here/ are told by others what goes on on here. same way as certain retailers (non members) who are discussed on here might come and read said posts occasionally

thats my thoughts anyway

It's easy to find out quite a bit about some forum members just based on thier post content rather than anything like real name or an email address.

Everything we post will give something away. Discussion of a range or a shop we have visited will give a assumed region to work from. Hints at employer or job role will also help. Then throw in events or comps you have attended, along with a picture of your rifle setup.

It's like a giant jigsaw puzzle but the pieces aren't all there at the start. Patience will give you lots of info though.

Edit: - by some people, I mean those who attempt to keep thier identity secret. Obviously there are those who are happy to reveal lots, but some who try to reveal little tend to give a lot away indirectly.

It's really simple. Come to notice and they'll look at you.

You beat your Mrs. She won't support a prosecution and no independent witnesses. You'd be unlucky to get arrested, never mind charged, but the police would know. Your neighbour reports to the RSPCA that you kick your dog. No other witnesses that are prepared to support, but they'll know you kick your dog. Take a lackadaisical view of firearm storage, or push licensing to the eighth degree such as with the Eco trigger recently highlighted, you'll have come to notice.

Expect then to have what you've posted on Facebook and the likes, on the public internet, and open source research reveals it, a "picture" of your general conduct soon emerges. Couple that with other tools, home visit, club enquires, it wouldn't be difficult. And, those enquires would not necessarily be of a criminal nature, so the burden of proof is far below "beyond reasonable doubt".

The Chief Constable does not have to give a reason if he revokes your ticket

Actually he does. In writing at time of revocation.

You missed off the People's Judean's Front.

No it's the People's Front of Judea

As for TV detector vans, how do they work these days as there's no line oscillator in flat screen TVs for them to detect?
