Well written articles clearly laying out peoples rights when they interact with the police.
Evidenced by detailed examples of cases where egregious police behaviour has been successfully challenged, but only after legal action.

I have never used the services of this lawyer professionally but often look at his blog. In this case it was when trying to keep abreast of the situation regarding the extreme force used by Sussex police in restraining care home resident Donald Burgess. Gould is one of the few professionals offering a critical opinion of this appaling case and this is very much welcomed - my own MP just issued a series of glib Home Office statements emphasising that the police are on our side and react proportionately - completely at odds with this situation. Gould is a reassuring voice against institutional corruption and brutality.

Loved this thank you 🙏🏽

I was unlawfully arrested by four officers from Nottinghamshire Police. I was chased, racially abused, and subjected to a taser, which resulted in serious injuries. I was taken to hospital with cuts and bruises and suffered three fractured vertebrae in my spine. It became clear to me that the police were attempting to cover up what had happened by making false statements and reports against me.

Following this, I contacted Iain Gould at DPP Law Ltd. From the very beginning, Iain was professional, knowledgeable, and approachable. He took the time to clearly explain the legal process, kept me informed throughout, and showed genuine care and commitment to my case.

During an extremely stressful and difficult period in my life, Iain’s support, expertise, and reassurance gave me real confidence. I would not hesitate to recommend Iain Gould and DPP Law Ltd to anyone who needs strong, reliable, and dedicated legal representation. As a result of Iain Gould’s hard work and dedication, the case was successfully resolved, with the police accepting liability and agreeing to a £30,000 settlement plus costs. This outcome speaks for itself, and I am extremely grateful for the professionalism and commitment shown throughout my case.

I haven't been in a position where thus far I've been in position to call upon the impeccable skills of such a revered solicitor as Mr. Iain Gould, but I absolutely relish reading his blog entries and girding my own meagre knowledge of the law and police powers with his experience, passion and most importantly humanity. Far too often in this modern day and age are police officers having something akin to a 'God complex' where they think they have the divine right to determine what is and isn't the law.
I just wish I had known about Iain Gould many years ago when I was treated as criminal when detained under the abhorrent Section 135 of the Mental Health Act.
I know that if I'm ever going to be faced with such vitriolic, vituperative and vindictive dealings with the boys in blue, then my first port of call will be arranging an initial consultation with Mr. Iain Gould, because of his expertise, professionalism, representation and again most importantly: humanity.
Thank you for your great service!

I approached Iain after being unlawfully arrested & wrongly accused of sexual assault on a self defence courseI had run. Iain helped me get my custody record and a few other things before I commissioned him as I considered acting as litigant in person. Upon receiving a derisory offer of £1000 from the Police, I decided I needed the skills and experience Iain had to offer and can very happily state that upon completion he had successfully pushed compensation to £12000 as he worked diligently through out. Very happy with the outcome and definitely worth 5 stars or more - can’t recommend this guy enough !

I done my research before choosing Iain to reach out too about my case and I was not disappointed! From my very first conversation with Iain I knew I had made the right choice. In a nutshell I was unlawfully arrested and detained with my phone unlawfully taken from me, during this I suffered a serious injury. Iain has been honest, consistent and supportive throughout my dealings with him. If you need someone who is as passionate and honest as they claim when it comes to justice involving police, then he is 100% your guy! Everyone claims to have your best interest at heart and he truly does. We have just settled after a bit of back and forth and I am satisfied with the outcome of the case and completely satisfied with the service provided by Iain and his team.

Police worst nightmare. Recommend

Excellent and very informative blog. Very much appreciated 🙆❤️

I have instructed Mr Iain Gould since 2018 in multiple claims against the Police for Unlawful Arrest, Police Misconduct, Police Brutality as well as being represented by Mr Gould for a serious claim against the Metropolitan Police whereby I nearly lost my life in the hands of a few rogue Police Officers. personally believe he is one of the best if not the best Action Against Police Solicitor in the UK. Not only will you receive top quality legal representation, you will have a down to earth humble successful solicitor who treats you like a human and the relationship we have built over the years speaks in volumes, as I now view him as a friend.

To give you an understanding of how superior his work is, I settled 3 claims against the Police from 2022 to 2023, all were 3 separate claims. 2 of these claims were settled within months of lodging the claims due to his diligent work ethic and application of the law withstanding the fact Police attempted to deny liability outright which is the norm in every instance with the Police.

Mr Gould had even protected my rights and taken on cases to protect my civil rights, when other legal firms would have not bothered with it. Here you have Mr Gould who does his job because he has a passion and love to protect individuals civil rights, and does his job with a smile, this is a man who is on the right side of society, we need more solicitors like Mr Iain Gould.

Mr Iain Gould is currently representing me in 3 new civil claims against the Metropolitan Police as well as one of these claims being against the MOJ (Ministry Of Justice).

I have continuously succeeded in all my claims brought against the Police whilst being represented by Mr Iain Gould and I look forward to our continued success.

Thank you for your assistance Mr Gould, Have a Merry Christmas to you & your Family & a Happy New Year.

Iain is an absolute gentleman. After being assaulted by a serving uniformed police officer I contacted him straight away.
The service delivered was unbelievable and he supported me throughout the entire process. He was always at the end of the phone and was very kind and understanding.
Eventually managing to get me a very satisfactory compensation payment which was far more than expected. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone who needs his help and expertise.
Many thanks again Iain.

Iain gould has been brilliant, when i was first unlawfully arrested,i felt so alone and that i had no one to turn too.
Iain gould solicitors help me understand that what happened to me wasn't right or my fault,and I had a right to claim compensation for what had happened.
Iain took the time to explain everything about the case and nothing was ever too much trouble for him.
Iain and his team always kept me updated with how things were progressing.
I would highly recommend Iain gould solicitors and there team,they we're very professional and they won my case and I got compensation.
it was never about the money for me,it was getting justice for what had happened to me.
I can never thank Iain gould solicitors and there team enough,for all there help and kindness.
thank you Iain gould and your team,you where all brilliant.

Court summons sent to wrong address, police turned up approximately 09 30 arrested me transported me to Doncaster police station where I was detained for about 3 hours before appearing in Doncaster crown court, After viewing all CCTV footage the judge decided there was no case to answer and I was released without charge 20 miles from home, prior this i attempted to contact the investigating officer for almost 4 months with no response, I have never been in trouble nor have a conviction of any sort the whole episode was extremely traumatic, I am also registered disabled and had my partner (who works nights) not been at home I don't know what I would have done thanks again lain for everything you have done and Alex àswell from Gaynor wragg

I enjoy reading the blog and am glad that Mr Gould is prepared to step up and grasp the nettle, although I am not so naive as to think it is entirely for altruistic reasons.
As with any large organisation that wields power there are wrong doer's that need to be held to account as does the organisation itself. No one is above the law, not even the law, as much as they think they are mind you.
Looking forward to the next article.

I have an upcoming case and the only solicitor (and I wrote to a few) to help me, was Mr. Iain Gould and the thing is, he didn't have to help me BUT he did!  He also helped me to think outside the box!

With his understanding and extensive knowledge in his field that he represents.  If I ever needed a solicitor, he would be the FIRST on my speed dial, Mr Gould is that good!

Iain has been absolutely amazing in my compensation journey, always keeping me updated on everything and always having the best communication. Would definitely recommend to everyone. 10/10. Very happy :)

Iain Gould and his growing team, bringing Actions Against the Police are undoubtedly one of the best AAP Solicitors in this country. They have represented me on several occasions with a 100% success rate. Claims against the police need specialist Solicitors due to the technicality of the claims and the often 'money no option' defence police will put up. Sadly, they do not have the capacity to handle every claim, but with a growing team, I suspect they will be able to help more victims of the police in the future.

I was falsely accused and locked up by police for a crime I did not commit. I was placed on tag pending my court case. Police attended my address and arrested me for breach of curfew… there was no curfew conditions attached to my tag. I showed police my court paperwork proving there was no tag. I was falsely imprisoned overnight and treat appallingly. I searched for a solicitor but found that the solicitors in my area showed little interest in my situation. I then came across Iain on a Google search. This man was incredible from the very start. He replied very quickly to my initial message. I cannot recommend this man highly enough. I hope I’m never in this situation ever again but if I am Iain is the man I will call. He is honest, transparent, fair, trustworthy, professional and empathetic. He doesn’t judge and takes immense pride in fighting for justice and accountability. If Iain gets to see this, I want to publicly thank him for helping me with my case. I would recommend Iain without hesitation to anyone who has been unfortunate enough to have been treated unfairly by police etc.

a very informative read real knowledge is power, in this day an age its vital that Mr or Mrs joe public has a basic understanding of the law maybe even more than the police

Criminal behaviour by the police overstepping thier powers is distressing. To read about this happening so often, to me, dictates a lack of training and what is more worse a lack of supervision by their supervisors.
Whislt in the armed forces we hadf multitudes of people of various character. Some of whom were of shoret temper and very quick to fight at the slightest provocation. This though disapeared when out on the streets armed with rifles. Characters changed to one of courteus interactions to the public. You hafd to be there to see and experience the behaviour.
I put all of this down to the extensive training, accountability to the supervisors and knowing that if you dfidf any wrongs you're mates would pull you up fo it or be reported for your behaviour. You had let the side down.
I can only put the bad police behaviour down to lax discipline, few checks, and an attitude of I can get away with anything that happens.
Poor police controls and what in the forces is called `esprit de core'.

I feel pity on those few officers who ddo play by the rules. They are badly let down by the others.
The end result is they are losing all faith by the public.

From my limited observation I think that this problem has grown worse by the recruitment over the past 30 years by taking in their supervisory class direct from university. In my opinion they have no real life experience, which is what the older police had to gain by patrolling the individual bests on foot for a number of years.

Where are they now, police stations closing public desks, polce in cars. None of them on the streets unless in cars, and to make matters worse not responding to incidents because they are too busy.
DOING WHAT.?
