true that! even though i know i never do anything wrong anymore i still worry like a bastard whenever i see the police, like literally 1 minute ago i was sitting on my window having a chat with the local plod (real nice guy, known him for years now) but even though i know him and am doing nothing wrong i still get really nervous! its really wierd o.O hey ho, at least im on good terms with the local constabulary
Rightly so, you don't actually need to break any laws to get arrested these days. Police have bullshit laws like "disturbing the peace", "public nuisance" and "public order offenses" that are basically code for "we'll arrest you for whatever we damn well please if you give us any reason to want to".
Oh and let's not forget the classic "drunk and disorderly". Which is basically "if you're anywhere other than your home on a saturday night we have the right to arrest you", because they don't actually have to prove you're drunk or disorderly, it's purely down to judgement.
And those judgements are being made by the insecure, jaded cynics that got bullied in school and now want to wield some power in society.
