Inflated Self-Importance
Amorous Badger asks: Tell us tales of people who have a high opinion of themselves. Jumped-up officials, the mad old bloke who runs the Neighbourhood Watch like it's a military operation, Colonel Blimps, pompous bastards and people stuck up their own arse.

PCSO's are fun to wind up.
They look the part, but have no real policing powers. They can only perform an arrest for a indictable offence. If they ask for your name and address, you can refuse to supply it and their is nothing they can do about it. If they want to exercise their fining powers, just keep walking as they cannot physically stop or restrain you for a civil offence. If you don't hand over the information, they have no way to pursue you for any fine. If you refuse to even take the fine notice off of them, even better.
According to a proper copper I know, the real police find this all highly amusing.

Standard greeting for PCSOs:
"Fuck off and come back with a warrant holder".
