The story re suspicious character near Millets states
He was detained by Police Community Support Officers however ,he ran off. ...as villains will. Therefore, he was not detained by the plastic plods but later on by the real plods.  Lucky he wasn't causing someone physical harm. I believe in most areas these plod impersonators can't use force to restrain or clap in irons etc. |

They have no powers of arrest. Sums up this Country now. Cheap and Plastic. |

Lots of stories about people sitting on someone until the police arrive. It seems there was more than one PCSO at the scene. What did they do ask him to sit on the naughty step until a police officer arrived? |

This is not their fault. |

When did "acting suspiciously" become arrestable?
