Re: A cautionary tale....
...was putting the bins out tonight and 2 blokes beeped at me and told me to come over, they were driving a proper shitty car and told me to get in, I said 'eh? who the f•ck are you?' and they replied 'CID',
they looked nowt like coppers so I told them where to go, they got out and got on their radios, I honestly though it was some sort of scam or something and said to one 'you're not police, you're about 15 f•cking years old', he looked pretty shocked and showed me his ID but wouldn't comeinto the house so I could see it properly,
I argued for about 10 minutes telling them to get the proper police or they could 'kiss my arse',
anyway mrs spugsy came out and brought our IDs, and ahem, yes indeed they were CID,
turns out someone had reported some big bloke dressed in black 'running around the streets', not sure what sort of crime that is but I was all in black,
anyway we had a bit og a laugh and I apologised, to be honest I'm not sure they knew everything I said with my geordie accent but......if this happens to you, or anyone asks to see ID, I guess the best thing would be to just show it.
Reckon I could have actually got in a bit of trouble over what happened tonight right??

So they let you off just because of your nationality???
Any other nationality (ME or Asian or African) and they just would put you in the car and go back to base...
Of course they would be careful not to hit your head while they're ushering you in after hitting your stomach and crotch...

You should have your company's Arabic speaking PRP on speed dial for incidents like this. You were lucky the Police spoke English (especially Geordie) coz they are probably in the minority, especially where traffic cops are concerned. Like Annacarna said, its a Police state, no question.

I spent 2 hours at the cop shop filing the report and as I was leaving he told me I must now dial 999. I quizzed him " so I dial 999 and a policeman will come ?" " no sir, I will come ! "
an hour later and there he was, insisted on calling SOCO to check the front gate even though the crime was 3 days before and we had 9 people staying in our house
