Yeah. It's classic "letter vs spirit" stuff. Technically the law was broken so OP was treated "correctly" but it's a right stupid polis or a jobsworth twat who wouldn't just turn a blind eye to this. Police regularly ignore (rightly in my opinion) people blowing big clouds of weed smoke in the park all the time.
Or I guess could be a new polis on probation who's paranoid about their superior later asking them why they didn't challenge it. |
