Breakin' The Law'I'd taken some mushrooms in a pub,' writes Allen Smithee, 'and things had got a bit odd. People turning into goblins, barstools into toadstools etc. I wandered off from my friends and found myself in a carpark. I noticed a huge liquorice allsort driving towards me and Bertie Basset got out. I kinda realised that Bertie was a policeman and my brain went into paranoid fast forward. I decided that I must be being arrested and said, "I'll just get in the back of your car, Officer" Bertie looked at me with disgust, "Not bleeding likely sunshine. Just piss off home ok?"'

Run-ins with the lawMe and a friend had just been to the cinema up-town in London (to see Spank the Monkey if I remember rightly) and as it was a lovely summer's evening we thought we'd go for a couple of spliffs in Hyde Park after. So, we wandered into a particularly dark patch of the park and I proceeded to skin up. Half way through rolling the second one, rizla, hash and cigarettes on the grass in front of me, a bright light suddenly appeard from nowhere! I very quickly realised it was emanating from the torch of a PC, who was accompanied by a WPC. He said, 'What are you doing?'. A billion possible reply options ran through my head in about 2 seconds, and then I thought there was no point trying to blag this one (especially as I was licking the rizla to finish the joint off when the light appeared). It was a fair cop. So I thought I'm not even going to try and bullshit this guy. I said, 'I'm just rolling a joint, actually'. To my utter amazement the PC said, 'Just make sure you take your rubbish with you', and buggered off into the night with his partner! On the other hand I have been taken to a police station and strip-searched by the police for 'looking at them in a funny way' before.
