I am disppointed to admit that I completely agree with you.
When I was in my late teens it was commonplace for middle class pseudo-traveller ‘alternative’ types that I knew to moan vociferously about the English police and this country’s legal system – these were the same tossers going on about great it is in Goa (or wherever): lawless stinking crime holes run on bribery and corruption. Of course there will be instances of corruption and police brutality: the ‘Battle of the Beanfield’ was a fucking abomination, but I think I’d rather be arrested here than anywhere else – apart from perhaps The Netherlands.

It's always the alternative types who 'know their rights' and give no comment interviews in custody.
