Old bill in doing their job shocker

...the more officers realise the limits of their powers the better - it's not uncommon for some officers to allow their personal feelings to seep into situations where they have no place - when an officer is told to mind his or her own business (or simply asked to fuck off) while attempting to intimidate or demand personal details from members of the public - then - where the law is on the side of the public - they, the police officers, should do just that.

Yes.

Yes, you don't need to give your details merely if you've been stopped. We'll wonder why though as most people tend to give their details. Most innocent people anyway.

People should NOT give their details and it's irresponsible to encourage them to do so imo. Why would you want them to give details? You don't need to ask them just as they don't need to give them.
