Can the Police stop you for no reason?

[HairyArsedBloke]

I know from my days as a press photographer, that 'looking at them in a funny way' was practically an arrestable offence, as far as the met were concerned.

They are mostly playground bullies and borderline psychopaths with massive chips. I mean, nobody who is reasonably fit in the head would want to be a policeman, would they?

They are another case of whoever wants the job should never be allowed to do it.

Except for airline pilots, possibly.

But yes. On the whole the 'police force', errm... 'police service' attracts bullies and thugs who just need to go around shouting and frowning a lot, and controlling other people.

My cousin is one example, and I know quite a few others. Small sample size I know, but you probably know from your own experience what most of these 'dick-heads in blue' are like. The women officers are generally worse than the men.

I'm sure there are a few good 'uns. But on the whole, they are shyteheads to a massive degree.

And yet even the police are overshadowed in their self-importance by PSCOs. Useless little ***** that most of them are.

I wanted to be a gynocologist.

Actually I see your point......

If you've done nothing wrong, what's the problem, citizen?

But if you have done nothing wrong, why should they stop you, question you and then breathalise you?...

Have you considered taking Irony 101?

Oh don't get me started on them.

So typical and symptomatic of Nu Lab's attempt to meddle with every aspect of our lives. To appear to increase on-street policing while not spending the money.

PSCOs are basically traffic wardens with a massively inflated sense of self-importance and perceived (as they would have it) authority.

They have legal powers to do EXACTLY NOTHING over and above the ordinary citizen. They are no more entitled to arrest you, than you are to arrest them. It's all intimidation by uniform.

They do have Kevlar vests and hi-viz jackets, however, and they strut around like Goebbels' grandchildren.

Watch out! You could be next. The PSCOs are watching you!

Never trust a man who wears a bow tie - unless he is a gynecologist.

I hope my latest edit helps. I think churchill might not have been entirely presenting his view...

Is all I need a bow tie?
