Anti-Terrorism Laws finally start paying off!

[Timsta]

From Sky news: Story here

Two 'perps' caught wearing flack jackets and walkie-talkies. Thank goodness they were stopped before they could cause any real damage.

Williamson, 28, said: "We were filming a strand called Dork Hunters, which is to do with one of the animations we have on the show.

"We were out and about doing 'dork hunting' ourselves on the streets of London.

"Jamie and I were kitted out in fake utility belts. We've got hairdryers in our belt, a kids' walkie-talkie, hairbrushes and all that kind of stuff, and we were being followed by a camera crew and a boom mike and we get literally pulled over by four policemen and we were issued with a warning 'under the act of terrorism'."

Rickers, 32, added: "We were stopped, not arrested, but they had to say 'we are holding you under the Anti-Terrorism Act because you're running around in flak jackets and a utility belt', and I said 'and please put spangly blue hairdryer' and he was, like, 'all right'."

If true those 4 coppers need to be sacked.

I would feel safer knowing they were not on the beat to be honest !!

It does make you wonder who the police are employing these days . . .

[Pothole]

would be excessively puerile to say she could hunt my dork any time?

Actually i am going to save my sanity, and give the Met the benefit of the doubt and assume they were actually Community Support Officers.

I can handle that !!

Isn't the usual MO of a terrorist to blend in and not draw attention to himself until he goes boom with his rucksack?

I'm no expert the police must know something we don't.

It is reasuring to know that with police work like this, the streets of London and the UK as a whole will be a much safer place for me when i come over for a holiday .....


FFS .... what a farce, what were they going to do?? Blow dry someone to death or crimp them?
