This is exactly what they did - they also wrote that there was a passing woman who could be distressed (looks like this is a standard phrase they use to justify S.5 usage) - I am pretty sure that there were not any women, but it would be my word against words of 2 officers and they do not have to ask the woman to be a witness. According to Google it is a new trend in police behaviour - they use Section 5 for many offences, where other Acts actually could be used - looks like it has something to do with improving their statistics . Basically what they said was - "if we could see you, public could see you".tvt wrote:Alexch,
