Life after plea
Notifications OFF
Hi all
My person had his plea hearing which he pleaded guilty with statement and was supposed to be sentenced this week but it's been pushed back. Since the plea the police have been involved and made life 10000x harder. They keep showing up to where he lives unannounced and talking to his landlord (who isn't aware of the situation). He's tried to speak to them multiple times about how he's supposed to know to be in for them to check his room When he works all week and then sees the kids on weekends and evenings. I feel like the police are doing it on purpose to create issues which will ultimately end up with him being homeless.
Did anyone else find life harder after plea? I can't even say after sentencing because that hasn't even happened. I'm so sick of all of it.

I am not sure if this is the same thing, as my OH was on remand for plea hearing. But when he was sentenced, with a suspended sentence and released, the police turned up a few days later and inspected the room where he was sleeping to confirm he was actually living there. So this might be what they are trying to do, just checking he lives where he says he does.
It seems strange that they're doing checks on him after the plea hearing. As far as I knew and in our experience it's only after sentencing, a few days later that they come to check. It might depend on what your OH has pleaded guilty to, but that's all I can think it might be. If he lives in a flat with other properties connected, but equally that was my OHs position and police didn't visit post plea. If he has a solicitor I would be asking for advice, the police should be following protocol. Good luck, it's awful to hear you're going through this kind of treatment xx
My person only had visits after he'd been sentenced. MOSOVO have been twice and his probation officer has popped in for ten minutes. I guess everywhere is different x
The police are supposed to do their first visit within a week of the plea/conviction date. Although they do not always manage to do that.
My son signed the SOR the day after his plea hearing and received his first visit with his police offender manager between plea hearing and sentencing.
Thanks for your reply all. Person got assigned someone new and they did the check and was apparently really simple.
He's told me the other officer made some comments that were a bit unfair so think it was the last person just being difficult on purpose.
