Hmm - there is nothing in the above para that I disagree with except the abuse of authority bit. If the police have the power to stop and search under a lawful act, how is that an abuse of authority? In any society you're going to get unscripted and spontaneous incidents on the ground and these probably happen in the dozens in the UK every day. Name me a few countries in the world where this sort of incident would have had a better outcome and I will consider moving there. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ---------- http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
