What dose fit up means when police use it?

Answer 1

framed, i think.

Answer 2

Police don't use the phrase fit up.
Police sometimes arrest people they "Know" committed crimes, in Gloucestershire these people are travellers called Johnson.
100 officers including armed officers decended on the campsite occupied by these travellers at 5 a.m. some time ago but due to a logistics problem with the evidence planting team despite arresting all the male family members the fitting up phase of the operation failed and 1 member of the family was subsequently charged with abstracting electricity from a street light.
The Police curently have the caravan dwelling family banged up for stealing artifacts from stately homes, and are trying to fit the artifacts into the Johnsons caravans from where other police can discover and recover them.
This is being hampered as the artifacts are physically too large and heavy to fit in a Caravan

Answer 3

That's a new one on me. I'm guessing the real phrase is, "fit you up". Probably has some reference to physical restraints. Shackles, leg irons, and maybe an anti-spitting hood. Now "tune you up", usually means a vigorous application of a police baton to your skull to make you "sing a tune". Not used much anymore.

Answer 4

Fit Up... This refers to the old method of being issued with your trusty old baton, (heads for the use of). Special baton pockets were sewn into a bobby's trousers and the baton needed to fit inside this pocket without it showing to the general public who may take umbridge at the thought of Mr Peels boys thwacking them on the Uncle Ned with one of these primative cudgels. After some innocent person had been given a good thwacking he then became known as a fitted up person, or a Chummy. In short anyone who has been struck a blow to his/her noggin has been fitted up for a new cap. (To cover up the lumps protruding from his/her skull).... Now ask me one on sport.

Answer 5

It means that they intend to frame you, charge you, have you found guilty and imprison you for something you didn't do and they know you didn't do it, but they need to get someone so they get you. They could be after you for something else or they may think you are a dissedent and make something up to get rid of you. Or they could use you to take the fall for someone else that they want to protect, including another police officer. It happens all the time, even in so called civiiised countries. I had a judge try to do that once to me. But luckily I had some police on my side.

Answer 6

"Its a fit up" is a phrase used by criminals to explain away the reason for their arrest, trial and conviction. Some police services in UK will ask a recently captured criminal if he would mind very much admitting to various other similar crimes, so as to clear them from the books [unsolved], thus enabling the courts to be more lenient with said criminal.

"Its a fit up", "your nicked".

Answer 7

It means its been a long shift, we have crimes we havent solved and people in the cells we want charged but no evidence to keep them there...

Hey presto, everyone in the cells charged and all the crimes solved, Home we go, bag of chips on the way! Good days work!

Answer 8

A frame up i.e. make the evidence fit the events

Answer 9

It means a frame but the police don't often use the expression as they don't admit to it!

Answer 10

It means to plant false evidence on somebody or to arrest them for something they didn't do by using false evidence eg to plant some drugs on you, or get a false statement from somebody.

'Stitched up' also has the same meaning.

Answer 11

Someone has been framed for a crime they didn't commit. Like you didn't do it but the police 'find' evidence against you.
