I watched one of those many police reality TV shows a couple of nights ago. A chap had run out of fuel and was walking to the nearest petrol station can in hand to get a refill. The police saw him and kindly gave him a lift. Not sure if the ran him back to his car but they smelt alcohol on his breathe. They didn't warn him against driving but radioed to another police car up the road to look out for for him.

Of course the guy drove past and the police followed him to a petrol station where they arrested him for drink-driving. 

Bastards!

Have you noticed how they are all smiley, jokey and nice and friendly like, in front of the cameras when nicking people?

They are always like that unless the person they are arresting is putting up a fight. The laughing is their showing pleasure at getting another notch on their handcuffs. Any copper who does not hit his target for arrests gets it in the neck from high up so they are incentivised to catch people. Doesn't matter what for ~ it all counts as "clear up"

Most coppers of my aquaintance treat it all as a bit of a laugh between themselves and try quite hard to keep a straight face when dealing with the public. Real Criminals they treat differently but your average middle aged speeder or drink driver is more likely, if co-operative, to get a smile and a bit of banter. What they don't like is arguments. What they do like is "Yes sir, sorry sir, anything you say sir". Arse kissing is an art that they are forced to practice daily on their superiors and they like to get a bit back.

I've just been extremely rude to one of my (now ex) customers.

My brother runs a club in ......... (names not given to protect the innocent)

He recently had cause to 'eject' a person from the club as he was being aggressive and rude to the staff - completely and utterly bladdered  eeek:

Turns out he was an off duty Inspector in the xxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx police dept.

my brother is now being prosecuted for assault even though they have the CCTV from the club to show how this bloke behaved.

It is with the CPS at the moment - you would hope they would see sense - we shall see  noooo:



I'd suggest 'leaking' the story to the media. After all, as long as your Brother followd all the regulations with regards to removing drunken and abusive patrons then you have a clear cut story of abuse of police power. The kind of story that sells news.
