"Mr Kiszko, who had never been in trouble with the law, also had an unusual hobby of writing down registration numbers of cars that annoyed him.

This contributed to his wrongful conviction - he had noted down the number of a car later seen near the crime scene. "

That is a very sad story. Bent cops were rife in the 70s though - I hope thats changed.

Now they can arrest you for no reason & keep you banged up without reference to a court for 28 days.

Rubbish - they have to apply to court to extend detention like every week for up to 28 days.

The only thing that needs to be done in order to keep it balanced is to give cash compensation to those who get released without charge (or charge fails in court) - say £50k for 28 days detention, and £250k for 3 months. I'd agree to do the time in jail for this kind of money.
