My Son Was Arrested !!!!!

Because he couldn't sleep, and called on a friend, they went to a 24/7 Asda.
3am, looking for bargains.
Suspicious behaviour???
Ruddy police, nothing better to do ??

My lad did admit it probably looked fishy, but there was no intent, he just cannot sleep nights because of pain. This is why I couldn't get him yesterday, he was knackered, and didn't even hear the phone.

Who would be a mother ?

Sorry I accidentally deleted the last bit. matters not now but to cut a long story short I don't believe the police acted wrongly or over the top from your description of the events, there are lots of laws and procedures for them to follow.

At least it is all sorted now and your lad released without charge.

Also, although not so much in this case, but the heavily criticised Stop search powers prevent a lot of people getting arrested and detained.

(Steve.5, i understand the law section is for sensible comments).
