Old bill in doing their job shocker

ben631, that's a pretty brave debut, arguing with tynan when he's talking about the po-po.

why is it brave to argue with tynan? everyone is welcomed to share their opinion.

These days, after the intervening years in which the police have been caught with their pants down on numerous occasions (Birmingham / Guildford etc); any little scrote will fight and run. This vicious circle now means; drink driving -- cuffs. Frail old bloke -- forget common sense, and the fact that he's in a riot van -- cuffs. Somebody giving lip? Nick him for section 5, cuff him, let him spend a night in the cells, and even if sarge / CPS NFA him, it'll teach him a lesson.

I hope I exaggerate, and that any decent coppers reading are appalled at such policing.

i think it's also fair to say that these days where little scrotes as young as 13 carry knives with the intention to use them, coppers don't like taking chances, so they cuff them to be on the safe side for both parties involved, it's also should be noted that people are sometimes cuffed so that they don't hurt themselves when in the back of said riot van (which is very common).
