Precis police arrest somebody cus they can.

Turned out to be an unlawful arrest, police in trouble*



*i.e it will be swept quietly under the carpet.

They can illegally arrest me as many times as they like, the compo would be very welcome.

Similar thing happened to a friend of mine. He's a very tall ginger guy, has a beard and slightly scruffy appearance and was waiting outside a train station for a good half an hour to an hour for his girlfriend to meet him.

In that time he was stopped by the police for looking suspicious, searched and questioned in public before they let him go when his late girlfriend finally turned up.

I get that it's public transport and all but these are places where people typically WAIT for people or travel connections. If it's "terrorist laws" that allow these powers then I think we'd be better off without them as "suspicion" is far too much a subjective thing for our liberties to hang in the balance.

I got arrested 2 years ago for beating up a drug/dealer (he was actually a runner) with my brothers, the dealer had mugged one of my younger brothers at knife point, cops came to my house at 5am to arrest me, I was at work so phoned them to say I finished at 7am and would be home at 730am if they wished to come and have a word, when I told the operator this they actually laughed and then said they would make the arrangements, at 830am 2 cuntstables arrived and promptly arrested me, I spent 8 hours in a cell after interview whilst they made enquiries I nearly lost my job (security guard) because of this, they collected their evidence and it was proved I was at work.
The arresting officers treated me like shit, the desk sergeant spoke to me like I had been kiddy fiddling, I was subjected to samples of DNA being taken and fingerprinted my photo taken and stuck on the national database, To be fair the interviewing officer was very polite and I believe he thought my account of my whereabouts genuine.
I was proven to be at work thanks to cctv and received a 2 day suspension from work without pay, this didn't screw up my life but it could have lost me my job and what did I get from the police? not even a kiss my arse I was disgusted, I have never before been in trouble with the police.
And the drug runner? well he ended up moving to middlesborough,
4 of my other brothers were also arrested in the case but the police could not bring charges due to decent alibis, and the scrote claiming there was actually 10 people who apparently broke into his house and when asked to do a photo i.d. parade the druggie picked out people who could have committed the crime but did not even live in the area, the strange thing was no apologies from the police to any of us and my brother got his money back the same day. I always wondered how that happened

It does beg the question, of why employ a female who feels intimidated by males who are not over six foot and under 13 stone, or in other words below what I believe to be the average?
Should the Police stop employing short people and reintroduce a taller height requirement and possibly males only?

"The amateur photographer Alex Turner was photographing in Chatham High Street."


That alone constitutes sufficient reason for arrest - by reason of insanity.

I know one thing and that's if I ever get stopped by the police for anything other than a simple motoring related issue i'll be voice recording the entire thing on my mobile phone, question is, do you have to tell them, I think if you don't then it's inadmissable as evidence, or is that just phone conversations? As far as I know they couldn't refuse anyway, there's no terrorist law yet against voice recording.

you may be surprised at the reaction you get by simply pulling out your phone and pressing record.

I think the police are absolute naff!

I think they just go around hoping to arrest someone, and if they don't then they just pick on random people, especially 16-19 year old lads. I've been pulled randomly before and spoken to as though i was breaking some sort of law even though i wasn't doing anything wrong.

In my opinion, The police should be employed to get rid of actual criminals, big time drug dealers and rapists, peado's, etc, they shouldn't be given half the power they have, they just abuse it and we have to put up with whatever shit they throw at us, and if we protest we get fined or punished in some other pointless way.

I was reading a thing in America a few years back where "patrols" of people would go out and be witnesses to policing. They wouldn't get involved they would just record the event, I think they had vid cams and voice recorders. The idea was I think to provide independant witnesses to police misconduct so they could be prosecuted/exposed.

I'm pretty sure the pigs didn't like them one bit......
