Who me? they wanted to do a S&S and didn't have to give me a reason other than it was for anti terror purposes. They were serious too, no numbers on the shoulders etc.
Nothing really has changed. Under PACE anytime they wanted to have a look in my pockets they just had to make something up.[/quote]lol for some reason this reminds me of a mate of mine a few years ago who had just been to get "sorted" for his weekend, while walking home the police stopped him and said they were doing a routine stop and search for operation BLADE or something against knife carrying.. so worried they were going to find his drugs he pissed himself thinking they would feel sorry for him as they started to pat down and ask questions ..I mean he actually pissed himself! lol, he started to act scared and said "I dont have a knife ..I dont have a knife" he said the coppers aborted the search and said to him "...calm doon wee man, its just routine..we have to do it every now and again" so they asked where he lived which was just round the corner and they gave him one of their jackets to wrap round his waist and walked him home! haha I forgot about this untill now! :P
