    Taken advantage off, because some war mongering police constable want to SHOW HIS DOMINANCE to some young punk who doesn't know any better.

    COME ON! Why stick up for the fascists? Be liberal please!

    Actually I have a high IQ!!!

    Not high enough to realise you've posted this on a consumer rights forum. What has the way the police treat people got to do with being a consumer?

    But then none of this actually happened, did it? Troll-a-doll-a-ding-dong.

    Arcon you are being very charitable with your responses this morning! I guess it is the Lord's day after all.

    I also off to get the popcorn this thread will be a hoot but I fully expect it to be removed so (as it should be).

    Don't panic, i'm sure it's just a minor lapse :p

    Is anyone else fighting back the urge to drag the OP across this thread to teach him a lesson? :)

    it is likely 99% of the people out was drunk in public. In fact this is why the majority of people go out - to get drunk.

    You might see this as the only reason to visit a pub, but I certainly don't, neither do too many of my friends or workmates.
    Whilst it is probably true of certain groups and age categories, I wouldn't say that 99% of everyone who goes out does it with the sole intention of getting drunk.

    Many people go out to socialise and have a couple of drinks and don't feel the need to get drunk every time.

    I don't either tbh. When we go out as a group we barely even get tipsy - in fact usually back at home by mid-night.

    The 99% figure was more to make a point. I agree it's going to be no where near this number - but the majority of people will be drunk or getting drunk, whether intentionally or not. After 12, i'm betting the number of people drunk to the number of people sober is significant!

    What I want to ask is...

    In future, what are my rights?

    You have the right to remain silent; but it may harm your defence if you do not mention, when questioned, something that you later rely on in Court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.
