Got a police problem?

Don't even ask how to complain in Florida.

And forget about the ID card problem in the UK. I read today that thanks to a change in the Police and Criminal Evidence Act earlier in the year that the police now are well within their rights to arrest you for anything. Before 2006 you had to have carried out a serious offence to be arrested, but now say you get pulled over for speeding and the police don't like the look of you they can arrest you.

All offences are now arrestable.

This seems to be an upgrade to the already disgusting Serious Organised Crime and Police Act.

Once you're in a police station you are automatically fingerprinted, photographed and DNA sampled. All that crap goes into a national database even if you aren't eventually charged.

I suspect that it's a little like tagging wildlife...

PS Don't roller blade in Dallas either
