Police do not understand autism and will readily interpret our unusual actions as criminal wherever possible, especially if they think they can make a financial benefit from doing so.
I am keen to try and help educate the police and legal system and look for opportunities
Birmingham tried to do something useful a few years ago but it never got progressed https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/download/downloads/id/557/adults_with_autism_and_the_criminal_justice_system_november_2012.pdf
Doesn't matter if they understand or not. Look at number of people charged with resisting arrest with no other reason to explain why they being arrested to start with.
Police see themselves as being above the law. Try to get them to understand people, but no hope . They have their own opinions and can be extremely unfair and aggressive www.birmingham.gov.uk/.../adults_with_autism_and_the_criminal_justice_system_november_2012.pdf
Can i ask? is this the first time youve encountered the police/? or are you known to them at all?
( Thank You for posting & I am glad to see that it was a mistake rather than meant maliciously... However... Because of this flagrant carelessness... I AM going to very VERY severely... UPVote both of You, Mwa-Ha-ha-ha... (!) )
Guessing I noticed and removed it before you saw it. This has got to be one of my more confusing apologies
Im not sure you downvoted me?
Naturally I removed it as soon as I realised
On a laptop with trackpad, if I change pressure slightly while moving the cursor it reads it as clicking the mouse. This was the source of downvote Disambiguating Cynosure mentioned above.
At least I assume that's how it happened, didn't notice at the time.
What do you mean? your mouse pad is a little sensitive? what are you alluding to?
down vote was accidental, wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it so thanks
Sorry Slipstream, mouse-pad is a little sensitive, will be more careful.

...Another new factor. I meant all of what I said before, but this, again, is another new aspect, again, and I feel that My replies before now make Me look foolish. (Again.)
Perhaps a separate Thread about THIS new introduced aspect - "Autistic use of scam websites" - would gain more helpful responses, than just the general title of "Police are dangerous for those on the Autistic Spectrum".
(Also there is a "downvote" for simply asking a question which, had the question not been asked, this new angle about "scam websites" might not have been stated.)
...In general, the police do act upon the Law, and if a person has fallen for a Scam (e.g. Websites which take Money illegally from an account), then further action is required by Police or Victims or Supporters to expose the fact that the Victim had been Scammed in the first place. Upon the Internet this is ridiculously difficult, but it is the way that this (awful) Internet/WWW business works with the Law at large.
Good Luck, still. Not sure what else to say after this, unless more is to come. I do recommend starting another Thread, though, and it should progress *very* differently from this one and should attract much more pertinant answers.
