  HA! I always thought we were supposed to be protected by the police? It seems these days we need protection FROM the police!
  
  I was once stopped by a copper in Dover for shoplifting - I have never forgotten the experience! I hadn't stolen a damn thing, it was mistaken identity (I was only saved when the security chap ran out of Iceland and told them I was the wrong guy) but up until that point the two cops were disgracefully rude, treating me like I was the scum of the world. Yes the police are only human but they need to be better than this if they are to maintain any respect.
  
  I actually think it's GREAT that the public can use their own version of CCTV (ie camera phones) to provide surveillance evidence when the authorities cock-up! It's poetic justice, turning Big Brother in on itself, sticking a finger up to every top brass bigwig who thinks we should all be part of their human zoo. Hey, WE can play those games too! I know the media like to churn these things up and make big dramas out of it but hey ho, this is the media-frenzied sensationalistic world we live in.
