Story SN Police Investigation UK

[MaybeSoon]

Just had police at my door that confiscated mine. Gutted doesn't even cover it.

Hope you're Okay, definitely seems like a nationwide "sting" then. Wonder why... expecting a virtue signalling article soon with the goverment claiming how many lives they've saved..

You should have just said you binned it. They'd need a warrant to search your house.

I thought that in hindsight but it's easier said than done when you're not used to police turning up at your door and you're nervous af lol.

This is some dystopian shit.

I feel sorry for those who have to deal with police now. I wonder how I would react. Would one be liable if they admitted buying or possessing SN? I don't think I would let anyone into my home and deny everything.

Is this "only" a UK thing?

 

[SuicidallyCurious]

I think UK law has less protection than american 4th amendment. The UK is a notorious nanny state. It's a crime to tell the truth about certain religions and ideologies there , they call it "hate speech". You can get in trouble for disagreeing with the official version of events too.

when I came on this forum I was surprised to see so many users were from UK. US and UK are both dystopic but I always thought US was moreso

This is worrying as I'm in the UK. What would happen if I don't open my door to the police? I rarely answer the door, unless I know who it is.

Hopefully they'll stop trying, but it's not guaranteed. If you have SN in your house, just say you binned it. They'd need a warrant to search your house, and for a bag of SN, I doubt they'd get a warrant.

Likely, they will just go away. They could wait and see for sure first when they know and see you are actually at home first before knocking.

The law does not have to be honest either.. is a fact in the US! Not to be trusted!!

It's not illegal to buy SN, and I think the police are bluffing when they are saying you have to hand it over.

 

[Mm80]

My opinion is that you should let the police in and be quite transparent, apart from when they ask if you still have sn (unless you do want help of course)
They are doing welfare checks and were generally quite pleasant.

 

[UberYeets]

just had a visit too

What happened?

 

[BridgeJumper]

If I ever get SN (Im starting to think about it if bridge fails), Ill bury it in some plot of land.
Holy shit....

I don't know what's going on but the police came to mine and got a supply of sod.nit. that I had. They said I hadn't come.itted any crime but they'd feel safer if I handed it over. I took it out of its packaging and gave it them. They were more interested in the seller but I said nothing about it and said I had no packaging. It has made me think more that I need to be dead . My mum is like my shadow now....it's too mucch

I know what you mean. Ironically the whole visit was a trigger for me.

 

[JigsawFeelin]

so do we reckon it's only eBay/this one seller that's being tracked. Someone took my SN off me when offered the chance, but I'm on a three strike rule with my housemate (the police have already been here twice this month because my father has been panicking)

From what I can tell it's only this seller they are looking at right now.

I feel traumatised by it. I just kept saying but I've committed no crime and they kept saying they just want me to be safe.....what does that even mean? It does make it a bit better seeing it wasn't just me. I feel like I'm being stalked

God it literally just happened to me to. paranoid about saying to much too. I can't believe that just happened. Today won't say when. afraid of drawing attention to myself.

Same here. He was asking me a lot of mental health related questions. It definitely was traumatic and a shock! Especially as my husband answered the door.. and the policeman came in and said it's about Sodium Nitrite in front of my husband and my heart just went cold like FUCK!! My husband knows about my suicidal ideation but what if this happens and you live with people who don't know? Essentially being outed as suicidal is fucked up and could push someone over the edge.

Lucky for me i was here on my own and then my mum turned up as they were leaving.....no I've got a shadow I never asked for. I hope your husband isn't too mad/disappointed with you

they know about this site...brought it ages ago and wanted to get a new one. Absolutely no chance now. will talk to people privately in more detail who also had police come to door. So unbelievably paranoid now
would they contact our GP's? is this the last of it? panicking now. If anyone that ws also contacted pls message me. and anyone that intends to buy BE AWARE

 

[Rosiel]

I too just had a visit. It felt like a welfare check more than anything. I guess they were checking if I was still alive.

I asked the police if the gp would find out and they said yes. Sorry

 

[Frauw]

I have heard of a few people having police visit, I'm glad I moved away from my old address because of this.

that's pretty insane, there are quite a few of us in such a short space of time. Yeah mine felt like that too, just worried I didn't say the right things...god probably over thinking it. It was such a shock

From what I can tell it's only this seller they are looking at right now.

no mine was a different seller, so anyone that buys it will be flagged up or brought it.

actually i just saw tess pic of SN it is the same person. I thought it was the polish one

I asked the police if the gp would find out and they said yes. Sorry

thanks for the headsup. feel bit sick

 

[Rosiel]

My GP already knows anyway because I've been having talk therapy through NHS. They also haven't diagnosed me with any mental issues though as I am not technically clinically depressed. My reasons were so logical they almost can't argue and all they can do is to help me through this difficult time. I think in situations like this it is best to be honest. This forum has helped me, if anything, to carry on. Without it, I doubt I will be in the place where I am now (which is happier, and still fighting to make my life better).

I told them that they should be prepared for more people wanting to take their own life as it's not going to get better from here!

Holy shit....

People can choose to stay quiet or tell police to get off their property without a warrant but I'd definitely have backups of SN hidden somewhere. I hid one of mine inside of a old router and I highly doubt anyone is going to unscrew that to check inside. People should be taking all kinds of precautions if possible to hide their methods because anti-choicers are nothing short of sadistic shitstains.

I've just hidden my SN just in case I get a visit. Thank you Jess for this info and for all your support a true friend

I'm wondering if it's better to give it up if visitation occurs. If they're going to truly clamp down, it won't be long until they're doing magic with computers, anyway.
I have to disagree with another poster asking if the UK police have nothing better to do. I spoke to an officer a few weeks ago who said that most of their calls now are for distressed individuals. I wouldn't be surprised if they've revised their usual procedures re: suicide as the longer lockdown goes on, the more people are going to go 'mad' as a result. The police also have more power than they used to re: suicidal individuals
When they've been here for me, I had an officer of my gender in my room whilst I got changed. Which has never happened in the 2 years I've been this way. I think there's an overhaul on their procedures, or at least a case-by-case assessment. I've maybe had the cops called on me 4 times in 2 years, these last two times were insanely different.
Giving it up may be the only option now- a friend had the cops come to his house and their search was so thorough he couldn't find any of his stuff where he last put it. There's definitely new things in place. Which in many ways, is totally beneficial. I've also been offered help in a way I never have before, therapy and such, and medications that were previously never breathed of when I've accessed mental health teams. It looks like, at least through covid, they're going to be trying harder. We could get a better NHS for mental health as a result.
