A man was arrested over "criminal damage" valued at 4 pence. He removes a sign that he says is on his property and the politically driven police force arrest him and after being processed keep the poor chap in the cells for five hours.
Such a shame that our police have nothing better to do than make an easy arrest of a law abiding citizen for such a minor offence. Does make you wonder what on earth has happened to common sense these days. Its not as if they have dont have proper criminals to catch, like say the remaining illegal migrants that were let out of prison rather than deported out of the UK as they should have been.
The clamping firm a bunch of amoral sharks that extort money from motorists are saying that they are going to pursue the matter. So not happy that they had their illegal sign removed from someones property they are going to harry Mr Hibbert through the legal system for some tags valued at 4p. Well if the shits at Tango Security want to harry someone they can try me for a starter. The story reposted below.
A software engineer was arrested, fingerprinted and forced to give a DNA sample, and kept in a police cell for five hours after being accused of criminal damage valued at four pence. Geoffrey Hibbert, of Farnborough, Hampshire, was detained for cutting four plastic cable ties to remove a sign that he claims was put on his property without his permission. He said that the arrest was a “complete waste of taxpayers’ money
The large yellow sign, giving warning that cars parked illegally would be clamped, was attached by Tango Security, a clamping company, to a road sign that in front of Mr Hibbert’s garden wall. Mr Hibbert cut it down, then rang Tango Security, telling it to collect its sign and six new cable ties, which he was offering in replacement for the severed ones.
Tango Security reported Mr Hibbert to the police. He refused to accept a caution and the matter was referred to the Crown Prosecution Service, which threw out the case.
A police spokesman said that the incident related to a dispute over land ownership. Tango Security said that it would pursue the matter. A spokesman for Tango Security Ltd said: Mr Hibbert removed our sign so we called police.
Once I have evidence that the land isnt his I want him rearrested"
** Nice bunch of shits at Tango Security, so here is an idea anyone who reads this e-mail the firm and tell them what you think of their piss poor attitude: info@tangosec.co.uk

Some more justice from the UK here: Frank Cook arrested for scaring off a dog.
When elderly farmer Frank Cook saw a neighbour's dog threatening his lambs, he would have been within his rights to shoot it dead.
Instead he fired a warning shot just behind the terrier, peppering its back leg with pellets but sparing its life.
Mr Cook, 77, says he went to the neighbour, apologised and offered to pay any vet's bill although the dog was wagging its tail and did not appear to be seriously hurt. But the neighbour said he had called the police. Full story in the Daily Mail here: police get tough on OAP farmer, aged 77. Six police cars and dozens of officers sent out to arrest him.
