Proud to use my experience, expertise, and determination to secure justice for my clients. Read about Shane Price’s successful claim against Lincolnshire #Police iaingould.co.uk/2025/06/05/pol… and watch his powerful testimonial below.

Dropping your keys in the road is one thing; live ammo is another. But am I surprised to see the Police try to shrug it off? Read here about a much worse case of #Police firearms negligence iaingould.co.uk/2024/12/30/373… bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

In this week's new blog post, I describe how a "Good Samaritan" motorist was shockingly mistreated by the #police after he witnessed a fatal accident. Read how I helped my client recover a substantial compensation award here: bit.ly/3TZphfk

In ths week's new blog post, my colleague and fellow actions against the police solicitor Aidan Walley reflects on an apology given by Greater #Manchester #Police to one of his clients: Lies, Damned Lies and Police Apologies bit.ly/4eZqmgx

Glad to read that the whistle was blown on this abusive #Police Officer by his own colleagues. Too often I’ve seen officers look the other way when one of their number displays contempt, derision and even violence towards arrestees iaingould.co.uk/2022/06/17/ben… bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-n…

Another awful example of how some people enter the #Police profession with the intention to commit crimes rather than prevent them. I currently represent one of the victims of a similarly abusive GMP cadet leader. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan… shropshirestar.com/news/2025/07/1…

Another #Police Officer joins the seemingly never-ending list of officers accused of making sexual advances to victims of crimes they are investigating. Victims of such abuse of power are entitled to sue the Force for compensation. iaingould.co.uk/2023/05/08/pol… oxfordmail.co.uk/news/25305081.…

I have previously secured substantial damages from the #Police for exactly this sort of wrongful #arrest : Social media pressure is not a lawful ground of necessity for arrest! iaingould.co.uk/case-reports/s… bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

In this week's new blog post I describe how I helped a Black man get justice after he was unlawfully stopped, searched, and arrested by police officers who seemed to target him because he was driving a high-performance vehicle during the #Covid lockdown. bit.ly/4eKJtLd

The inquest into this man’s death continues, but what has been reported so far has strong echoes for me of the many cases in which client’s of mine have suffered #Police brutality under the guise of a “welfare check.” bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I’ve updated my homepage and ‘About Me’ to give more context to the work I do in civil actions against the #police —work grounded in a decades-long commitment to civil rights and public accountability. #Experience counts! iaingould.co.uk

As flagged earlier, removing jury trial rights is a grave threat to justice. My client Cedric Young could’ve faced a radically different—and unjust—outcome in a hanging’ Magistrates court. Justice demands fairness—not convenience or expedience. iaingould.co.uk/2025/05/19/imm…

Undermining the 1000 year old foundations of our justice system is not the way to prevent it from ‘collapse.’ Deeply concerned by suggestions that those accused of assaulting an emergency worker (i.e the #Police ) would be denied a jury. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I’d be more than happy if the #Police want to merge local Forces; less delay for my clients in getting claims dealt with, as there’ll be fewer opportunities to ‘pass the buck’ for mistakes between Forces. iaingould.co.uk/2023/08/07/anp…

Another male #Police Officer has been caught using his privileges to prey upon a vulnerable teenager. I have represented many such victims of predatory #Police crimes. iaingould.co.uk/2024/11/04/wha… huntspost.co.uk/news/25290402.…

It is the gulf in power here which makes this such a despicable act of #Police violence, casual and dehumanising at the same time. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

In this week's new blog post I describe how the actions of a "Good Samaritan" ambulance driver resulted in an unlawful arrest and £12,500 compensation payment from Cambridgeshire #Police. bit.ly/40y1hDw

Another day, another #Police Officer charged with “sexploitation” offences. Red-blooded males and the thin- blue line are a toxic combination. readingchronicle.co.uk/news/25287797.…

Another “predatory and manipulative” #Police Officer caught abusing his position for sexual purposes. I have helped many victims of this insidious type of Police misconduct claim substantial compensation. Read more here: iaingould.co.uk/2024/11/04/wha… sussexexpress.co.uk/news/crime/sus…

What the #Police euphemistically label a “distraction strike” can so often be seen for what it really is - an act of unrestrained brutality. Accountability can be achieved. Here’s an example iaingould.co.uk/2020/08/24/100… thesun.co.uk/news/35664932/…
