    Can we all please be good Europeans?

    In these times of harmony, can we please remember the term is no longer "Spending a penny"

    It is to be called "Euronating"

    WTF?

    He should have faced the other way or used a bottle like ...

    Ha Noi taxi drivers do.

    Of course, in France this is de rigueur!.

    (Spain: Another country where there is one law for police and another for everyone else)

    Lucky this wasn't the US

    I remember reading a story in the San Jose Mercury when I was there about 10 years ago of someone who need to relieve himself urgently did this. While he was doing so a police patrol went past stopped and ordered him to turn round with his hands on his head. Duly doing this he found himself faicing two Police who not only booked him for the urination offence but, as one of them was female, added the charge of exposing himself in front of a woman and as a result he got placed on the sex offenders register.

    Well, that's the EU for you...

    Added bureaucracy and cost. Once it was possible to spend a penny, now you have to euronate.

    I can understand the penis pixelation, but doing the same on his face and his car's numberplate is hardly going help identify this piddling plod, is it?

      Why?

      Can you identify foreign police officers??

    WTF?

    Ha! that's nothing.

    We have video footage of the police causing the death of a innocent bystander in the street with no charges pressed.

    Spain... such pussies!

    But he's a police officer

    Everyone knows that the law doesn't apply to police officers.

    To be fair on the perp

    He really should report in to his line manager soonest, face the appropriate fine and make a public apology.

    Alternatively he could wait until his line manager invites him to meeting, slaps and fine on him and probably worse disciplinary proceedings.

    It looks like he has been caught with his willy in his hands.
