And so, to return to the exchange I had with the stasi this past Sunday....
After emptying out my own pockets (by choice, so as to avoid having to deal with the real police) the PSCO exerted his divine privilege to
let me go, but not before asking if I wanted to hang around another ten to fifteen minutes for a copy of the foot long form he was about to complete.
"No, just put me on the database with all the other innocent, law abiding people." I told him, and duly walked off, seething.
So add my name to the long list on police records along with Alex Jones' and all the other evil people who have ever exerted any of their public
rights in the UK, all those who have ever walked around minding their own business, all those who have merely put their hands in their pockets or
adjusted their clothing in what was deemed by a "community minded person" to be a suspicious manner. |
