Sleeping in Cars/Vans Again

A high percentage of NI population never thought they were lucky being policed by the RUC .
Quite the reverse

True but in my time as a young lad they nicked you for everything and made folk hate them big time.
I at about 14 got grabbed and tossed into a landrover for what they thought was a machine gun, it in fact was a fork leg for my BSA m bike.
Then one day working a a fuel staion i got nicked for riding a susy 100 i tuned for a chap around the pumps, done me for no ins and not wearing a helmet.
Took my g dad to go down to the station and after a long confrontation the case was dropped, fact is it was easy game for them rather than tackle what was going on in the north.

I read a case about a few years back, the car was on the highway, so drunk in charge, think it was in england if my memory is correct.

I have a funny feeling the important part of the story is that the police suspected the person of recently driving, engine still warm, etc, etc?

As we know things are not always cut and dry, and papers/news etc bum things up a little without giving the compleat story.
Then again i could go into a long story of what cops tried on me once when about 20 years of age, did not end well for them.

Did you convince them to try Linux?
