@tynan - my mate did manage to get about £20K compensation from the police, but it took about 15 years. He was battered during the miners' strike, and the whole thing was on film (moving/still), and he had umpteen witnesses.
Shortly after receiving the pay-off, a number of mysterious cars and individuals started lurking round his flat in Hackney, and after a number of freak-out incidents, he felt compelled to move away to the South coast.
Even the ones that go to Hendon with good intentions come out as pigs.
