Old bill in doing their job shocker

And you are meant to trust the police. If you feel you can't thats fine. But its also fine to trust them. only a small minority are corrupt.

This is silly.

We are not discussing personality, we are discussion our system of application of common law and statutes. There is nothing - nothing - laid out in either to suggest that talking to a policeman is a beneficial move - even the most cursory reading of common law / statutes would inform you that co-operating with the police at any level can never be of any benefit to a citizen, nor does the law instruct you to do so.

There need be no corruption, even the most officious - petty - 'by-the-book' officer is - by his remit - instructed to use what you say against you - always.

And what might "And you are meant to trust the police" mean ? Did you read this in a magazine or book, or was it simply told to you, I have never heard that anyone is meant to 'trust the police'.
