Me, leading a team of largely new, freshly minted young constables on a search warrant, standing in the background, providing advice and a few 'helpful suggestions' to some very keen but green young officers.
One of them - 'sir we've found an (illegal) pistol.'
Me, walking into the room and inspecting said firearm (a .38 S&W revolver) undisturbed and untouched in its original location (tick, by the book). 'Well then video it in situ, make it safe and seize it'.
Shiny young constable in question, 'Sir I don't know what it is, how do you make if safe?'
Me:('Dinosaur moment unfolding before my eyes as I realize these guys have never seen or dealt with anything other than pistols ) ....... OK watch what I do.
I sooooo need to retire.
