Enzyme asks: Have you ever been arrested? Been thrown down the stairs by the West Midlands Serious Crime Squad, with hi-LAR-ious consequences? Or maybe you're a member of the police force with chortlesome anecdotes about particularly stupid people you've encountered.
Do tell.

A man who drinks in my local was a copper during the 70’s. I’m not sure how many of his anecdotes are actually plotlines from “The Sweeny” or embellished Police urban legend, but he swears blind that when his station received their first photocopier, they lined up a load of ‘scrotes’ in front of it, told them it was a lie-detector and ‘scanned’ the palms of their hands while barking questions at them. I can only assume that this preceded driving a Ford Cortina through a pile of cardboard boxes and a swift pint with the guv’nor.
SHUT IT!

as this is also used to great effect in The wire.

his attitude towards Ian Tomlinson was, "They probably told him to piss off and he didn't move quick enough". What a charmer.
