Been out from 9 this morning just pulled up at my mates house when police pulled me. Searched my car asked me were I'd been. I said were I had been. They were questioning why I just said for a day out. When they come across bag off 300 coins the cuffs were straight on. Locked us both up. I had 2000 total on me because my mate owed me some off booking holidays. When cuffs was on I then explained what I do etc. one hour later they let me out and my car is outside the station. You could tell they had been right through it. Let us out after an hour didnt even interview us. First and last time for me hopefully. Got all money back etc.
Kept it brief just thought I'd post what happened.
It all happened so fast I didn't even get there badge numbers. They didnt tell me what I was arrested for at first then they started searching me etc. I wanted to know why I got arrested. A certain pub must of rang they wouldn't tell me.
at least they had the sense to realise they were wasting their time after an hour and let you go with your cash rather than confiscating it all pending months of pointless 'investigation'
Wouldnt suprise me Darren. Yeah you are absolutely correct it could if been a lot worse lugsy. I'm so interested in law is love to know the buisness. I havnt got the time or brains to study it.
Go back to the station they took you and ask for the numbers of the officers in question, sure they should give you them. Worth a try if nothing else, may as well give them the hassle they gave you.
You got every thing back, and you've had a minor inconvenience, i agree with Lugs, if you start stirring the vile bastards will just be gunning for you, scumbags!
