  • Incident Type: Communication Received from Police Legal Services (Re: Property Return Application – Alleging My Non-Compliance & Reasserting Intention to Retain Property).
  • From: Legal Enquiries Legal.Enquiries@thamesvalley.police.uk (TVP Legal Services).
  • To: Myself (WASEEM BEY waseemsl46jt@gmail.com).
  • Subject: Application Under The Police Property Act
  • Relates to: My Application for Return of Property (Case No: 432500137947) and the court order of 30 June 2025 (Log #489).
  • Details of Communication Received:
    • TVP Legal Services confirmed they are instructed in this matter.
    • They have informed the Court that they allege I "failed to comply with the requirements of service as outlined in Rule 47.37 CPR" prior to the hearing on Monday, June 30, 2025.
    • They reiterated their position that my property was lawfully seized and is being lawfully retained under Section 22 of PACE.
    • They stated unequivocally that my property "will continue to be held under these powers until the ongoing criminal investigation... have concluded." This is a direct statement of their intention to disobey the court order of June 30, 2025 (Log #489).
    • They advised they will be in touch "in due course" regarding their "proposed course of action."
  • My Perception of Purpose & Impact:
    • This email is a formal declaration from TVP Legal Services that they intend to defy the Magistrates' Court order for the return of my property.
    • Their justification for this appears to be twofold:
      1. A procedural counter-attack, alleging that I failed to serve them correctly before the hearing. They are communicating this directly to the court to potentially undermine the validity of the order made on June 30th.
      2. A re-assertion of their original legal argument (retention under PACE S.22), which they failed to make at the court hearing they did not attend.
    • This communication confirms the stance taken by the officers at Maidenhead Police Station on July 2nd (Log #484/#486) – that TVP intends to "contest" the order and will not return my phones.
    • This is further, direct written evidence of their willful disobedience of a court order and contempt of court.
    • The allegation of my failure to comply with service rules (CPR 47.37, which relates to costs) seems misplaced or is a specific technical point they are trying to use to invalidate the proceedings. I need to review my service documents and CPR 47.37.
    • This is a significant act of institutional obstruction and defiance of judicial authority.
  • Context/Link to Other Events: This is TVP Legal's formal response following the court hearing of June 30, 2025 (Log #489) where they did not attend, and after their officers refused to comply with the subsequent order on July 2nd (Log #484/#486). It is directly relevant to my Contempt of Court application (Log #488) and my Judicial Review.
