This has got to be the cherry on top of all political correctness

The police obviously have very little to do in Aylburton Common.

At least the people caught up in this madness have the right attitude.

It is not the system......it is the petty minded interpretation that has gone wrong.
This time two "Jobs Worths" came together and fed off each others ego trips....the Security man and the first copper in the line.

If either had used an ounce of common sense it would never have happened.

Yes, I'm sure the company in question had big plans for those wild berries.

Although i understand the comment it is comments like "we are duty bound" to follow it up that get right up my nose.

If the idiots can make a decision on whether burglaries or muggings have enough evidence to even merit an investigation surely these prats could make a decision to say that this offence was indeed not worth thinking about, never mind the two month tracking of this man(i think it was a couple of months later, i can't be arsed to read it again) and if it was two months, what took so long, they had is reg.

I suppose it could have been worse. This poor yank lad is looking at six months in nick or a $1000 fine if convicted for having a crap.
