Also BUJIN junior above asked, what do you mean infinite cycle's? That's why I mentioned it. Just "bujin". The "junior" bit is a BP forum title...  Thanks for responding. Can't say I understood your point though. |

Ive got a cycling proficiency certificate but thats where my expertise in cycles ends im afraid ....
Dunno about infinate cycles being recognised/picked up on by psychics brains allowing them to appear to be able to see or hear things from the future past or present but what seems far more realistic is their ability to cold read, pick up on tells and hints of information and use them to their advantage.
That doesnt involve quantum physics or huge involved theories ...it just involves eyes, ears and paying attention to your surroundings and those in it, ohh and a gargantuan brass neck.
Call me nuts and im more than happy to take that chance but doesnt simply doing what we all do everyday in picking up on information and using it to form ideas familiar patterns etc on something seem far more likely as an explaination for how psychics seemingly get thier info than putting it down to something that has no real evidence in its favour ?

It doesn't have any factual evidence against it either, only against people getting things wrong or being fraudsters.
People in america who are very good psychics are called upon sometimes by police and they end up solving some crimes. Does that mean all of the crimes are commited by psychics who live hundreds of miles away in different states than where the crimes happened. I don't think that is a plausable Idea.

Wasn't there an article on BP somewhere before about British police use of psychics? Or am I getting it mixed up with another site? |

I do recall reading a BBC? news article about the scottish? police using a medium or a psychic on one investigation. Whether it was an actual investigation, or merely a pandering to a concerned citizen I really couldnt say. The police claimed they would follow any lead they had to close the case or some such crap. I cannot find a link for it now, and it might not even be the scottish police. I have tried google, JREF and UK Skeptics and cannot find the link to where I first read about it.  |

No... it means Psychics can read, watch tv and use the internet like the rest of us....
Name one crime that was solved by a psychic through means that involved anything other than coincidence or using the information already available to the police who funnily enough do solve the odd crime everynow and again by using the same detective skills ?

I thought I saw a program I think was called psychic investigations that had interviews with police forces in america admitting that the psychics they got involved helped to solve crimes or locate recently missing people in the area. Was on late on I think sky three on freeview (3-4am sometimes etc).

One or two maverick coppers around the world have spun that yarn on kook shows..the police forces of the world strongly deny.
Theres a woman in Canada that is supposed to have channelled a certain crystal skull...subject of a book and tv docu etc..her husband is reputed to be a police officer

Police on average will deny it anyway because it's bad publicity for them to say that police believe that crimes have been solved by psychics.
They can't be seen to associate with them until it is a scientific law/fact that pschics actually exist etc.
So they dis-credit it anyway, except for the police involved because they are not really interested in politics.

The police cannot secure a conviction based on "psychic" evidence. It would be an unsound conviction, and not even liable for prosecution. The police do not use psychics, despite what psychics tell you. They have been used in cases in america, but the americans are .........well..........american.
No convictions have been secured based on psychic information, and studies have shown they actually waste valuable time and resources in pursuit of red herrings.

Police men and women are just people like the rest of us so it's not too much of a surprise to learn that some of them end up being taken in by psychics.
So it's quite feasible that many of them as individuals do indeed listen to psychics or take on board what they are saying, but the police as a force do not systematically use psychics as like Bob says, their 'evidence' cannot be used in court.

no, but they do find lost people/victims or hiding criminals etc. but the police take credit as to not look like idiots. on paper anyway.
