| Hi John,
| 
| Thanks for sharing (in your v. pleasant style) your experience.  
| Actually I think you are letting us off a bit easily by only  
| suggesting procedures be on the Police website. I would go a bit  
| further.
| 
| Every Mobile Police Unit and/or Traffic stop have a functional laptop  
| with wireless access to various databases:
| - IDs / Passports/ Work Permits / Visa
| - Driving License
| - Car Registration
| - Criminal Records Database
| 
| That way by simply running a couple of simple queries they would  
| immediately know whether you are worthy of being offered free  
| accomodation.

Brian is talking about what happens in the US and such like;)
The budget allocated to the Police can never allow them to have these 
"luxuries".
Sorry, but I speak from experience as a former police officer.
We tried to get the force in this direction but ended nowhere, except 
being termed radical.
But yes, let's suggest these to the right ears. It's worth the time.



        cheers
