George Wilson, 20, was held by police who thought the men were swapping drugs – and later denied being drunk before an officer told him: ‘That’s not how I’ll write it up’.

A Merseyside Police spokesman said: ‘The force sought legal advice before a settlement amount was negotiated before this case went to trial.

‘The officer involved in this incident was spoken to about the matter at a misconduct meeting earlier in the year and was provided with advice and training.

‘Merseyside Police remains absolutely committed to the highest integrity and the professional standards of its officers at all times.’

nice no P54?

Yep he was advised next time not to verbalise his thoughts but to keep them to himself...

No he was unlawfully detained and accused of a crime he clearly did not commit.

Reacting to inappropriate behavior by the Police less than perfectly at 2am in the morning is not a crime.

Try the BBC write up.

Man arrested for giving £1 to homeless man wins payout - BBC News

or maybe the Liverpool of the echo which has a transcript and the recording:

Teenager handcuffed by police after giving £1 to a homeless man wins £5,000 pay out for unlawful detention - Liverpool Echo

whilst the chap was quite insistent he was polite and was treated poorly.

The sooner every policeman is fitted with cameras the better for both sides.

Indeed he was:

The officer said he was not threatening to falsify a statement but saying he did not accept Mr Wilson had not been drunk and disorderly.

An investigation by Merseyside Police concluded the words could be interpreted differently and the officer was advised not to use them again.
