In this case I think the police got it right - for a change.

Police state - You can't even go to a fancy dress party now
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/o...re/7372578.stm
A man who sparked an armed police alert as he made his way to a fancy dress party dressed as a serial killer has criticised the "heavy-handed" response.
Kevin Oakes, a 20-year-old property manager, wielded a bladeless chainsaw as part of his outfit as Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th horror films.
But concerned people who saw him in Bicester, Oxfordshire, prompted police to send armed police and a helicopter.
He said: "It was a bit over the top and a waste of taxpayers' money."
He added: "I saw the helicopter and I thought they were having a good laugh. Then suddenly all the armed police turned up and starting shouting at me to drop the weapon.
"They were heavy-handed and getting all wound up. They were just quite rude. There were children laughing at them which didn't help.
"I didn't even have the engine running on the chainsaw and the mask was on my head, not covering my face."
I'm abandoning my plans to go to a childrens party in Leicester dressed as an Islamic suicide bomber now, complete with fake explosives jacket and copy of the Koran in my hand.Tags: None
