Up until the first of this month I have always been pro-police.Helped out on several occasions,sometimes voilent.Received a commendation once for detaining a man that was beating up a policeman on the floor.1st of April,all change.Bought a vehicle off a dealer,advertised in press.Driving it home was pulled in a spot check,into back of police car,had all the documents with me,checked out ok,thank you sir,your free to go.Radio went in police car. "Arrest him and bring him to HQ" car."on what charge" HQ."burglery and theft".car. "What was the date?" HQ."4th March". car."I have a receipt here dated today".HQ."Just bring him in NOW".car."Do you have a description?".HQ. "Two white males,approx middle aged".car."There are three of us in this car that fit that description"HQ."LOOK, fetch him in NOW".Back to HQ.On the way the two officers kept apologising that this was happening.Into holding cell.Then into 2nd cell,then taken to desk,charged,read my rights,all my belongings taken from me,listed,belt,shoes taken.Put in cell.Later taken out of cell.told I had been cleared of all charges.BUT.!!.Under Home Office Laws I would have to be fingerprinted,photographed,drugs tested,DNA tested, and would then be taken to an interview room to make a formal taped interview.This was all done,and I was told I had to,by law.I was released the next day.Apart from being humiliating and a total waste of my time and police time it was a wrongful arrest.The dealer I bought the vehicle from was not contacted for a further 3 days,such was the urgency.I have wtitten to the Chief Constable making a complaint,have recieved an acknowlegement,and await further developments before making a decision,!!I am told I can ask for my DNA to be removed from the database on my 100th birthday.!!!I have no criminal convictions and no motoring convictions so---If it can happen to me----.Todays police havn't got a f***ing clue,sad to say.!:(
