Saw someone...

...being randomly stopped and searched by the Police today at Kings Cross, took a snap with my phone (trying to be subtle) -

- it must be difficult being in one of the "suspect" ethnic groups at the moment...like being an Irish person flying into Heathrow during the "troubles"... :(

update - Quote - BTP Chief Constable Ian Johnston said that his officers would not "waste time searching old white ladies"

That is nothing. At Victoria this morning there was a guy being searched surrounded by 5 armed police officers and 5 normal officers!

I think if I was a copper and I was doing my Hello, hello, hello bit and some prat couldn't be bothered to get off his phone I'd arrange for a complete rectal probe for him.

He was actually holding his neck and dipping his face in embarrasment...

The Policeman was filling out a pink form, he was telling the guy that if he was stopped again he would be able to show the pink form and they would let him past...I can see a bit of a flaw in that plan, what if the terrorists had access to pink paper and a printer?
