Quoted in full no apologies. First and foremost, how did this get from a
ludicrous suspicion of child trafficking, to an even more ludicrous arrest under
the *Terrorism Act*?!


One police officer acting stupidly.

I don't see this as a "reason to hate the police at all".

The officer concerned has been transferred to different duties
(probably considered to be a punishment), and the police have
apologised profusely and paid compensation.

This was certainly completely unacceptable behaviour by that police
officer, but it appears to have been dealt with about as well as
possible afterwards.
