That's good. I've always found the police to be very reasonable and decent people. The same goes for the health service (in general).
Yeah- I think it heavily depends on who you get. Some people didn't have so good experiences. I think it depends on how you treat them also. I was (probably too) honest and forthcoming. Really because I felt like it shoudn't be necessary for me to lie. Suicide isn't illegal. Neither is SN. I wanted to have a rational discussion with them and I suppose it went as well as it could have.
Some people were saying how they were going to block them at the door and insist on seeing a search warrant. I guess we have the right to do that but I imagine- saying stuff like that makes it look like you have something to hide. I think- speaking to them aggressively will likely just put their backs up and they're more likely to use more aggression/ force back to get the job done.
That's all it is at the end of the day- ticking boxes. They have to act on the (poor) intelligence they get. In many UK cases, they informed people it was an annonymous tip off- when they likely got our details when they arrested Kenneth Law and investigated IC. Plus- they refered to it as a kit and- nitrate several times. I thought- for God's sake- don't get that bit wrong! I don't want the bomb squard round here next.
But yeah- they just need to be reasured that you aren't in imminant danger of killing yourself and that you are aware of the support that is available. Beyond that- what can they do? Unless someone is acting irrationally enough to be sectioned, it's a legal substance. (At the moment.)
