However I was threatened arrest after doing the most criminal of things "leaning out a window"!
I was just annoyed that the police get too heavy handed and not go after the real criminals in the UK.
Rick you are, in my opinion, a real criminal. Your behaviour is contrary to a little known piece of legislation, the Leaning out of the Window Act (as amended) of 1816. Just as well you obeyed the instructions of the copper, otherwise you could have been taken to the local magistrates court, tried, convicted and then birched on Tower Hill. Mind you, you might have enjoyed that bit.
