      That should be "Police are conducting a low level probe into the incident"

      That would be Cordelia and Ophelia.

      They look after the ring around Uranus.

    WTF?

    Budgetary pressures?

    Is that really a picture of Snaresbrook Crown Court? Looks like they're administering justice from a stately home!

    Presumably n'er-do-wells are greeted by a butler as they turn up for their trials.

      No, they have to go through the back door.

    Make the punishment fit the crime

    This arse deserves a smack on the bum for having smack and crack in the crack of his bum.

    WTF?

    wot title?

    surely even undercover rozzers would have second thoughts accepting crack that some young ruffian had just pulled out of his arse?

    Name of the teenager

    I was disappointed to read that the teenager's name was David. If it had been Dawn, then the headline might have been, "Police were up at the crack of Dawn".

    Here goes...

    This investigation highlighted the need for an in-depth probe into Police investigation methods. Naturally, the Police don't want to make an arse of themselves and the man in question is now feeling the full arm of the law.

    The prosecution don't want to see a crack in their case, so they are employing the best QC available; no doubt there's no finer talent between here and Uranus.

    Such an excessive use of taxpayer's money on such a case may be seen as a bum deal by most people, but recent studies show that the overall population is split somewhere down the middle on such expenditures.

    The young man is question is maintaining his right to silence, but this may work against him and he could find himself in quite a dark hole by the end of court proceedings.

      Agree

      What you say certainly has a ring of truth to it. The police come in for a lot of criticism but this time they seem to be making a good fist of it.

    Chatham Pocket...

    Strikes again. I lived in Chatham for over 20 years and had no idea about Chatham pockets. For true authenticity, it should be pronounced "Cha'am pocki", possibly with a slightly strained expression.

    suring that laww en(d)forcement rises at the crack of dawn for unique occasions LOL! I guess they found in in the span of a split decision. Or, what that fast enough to say, faster than lickety split? Had they searched too assiduously, he could have been torn as(s)under....... Some of these stories are quite en(d)tertaining, hehehehe...

    Disgustingly Enough

    This is unfortunately what many drug dealers do to hide their stash, as many pat downs didn't involve such depths of exploration. Bad time to be a copper is all I can think, or a crack addict for that matter.
