Please read... cannot believe this just happened after West End Drinks

It's not harassment but is a good case of the police exceeding their powers/ acting without lawful authority.

If people get grief like this they should be checking out: ipcc.gov.uk

The IPCC (Independent Police Complaints Commission) isn't great - 94% of complaints against the Metropolitan police fail, but that's all we've got. The website details how to bring a complaint. Most straightforward matters will then be referred to the force in question.

The police will try and put you through something called 'local resolution'- don't do this, it'll just be swept under the carpet. Insist on a formal investigation.

If you need help I'll happily offer my time (for a pint)- if you succeed with your complaint or think you may have a claim, definitely see me!

The IPCC would not be interested in the slightest in something like this, it would not even register on their radar.
