Following Diane Abbott's article on the DNA database, one CIF
correspondent claims to have complained about shoddy service at PC
World, the store called the police and the complainant ended up in the
cells having had his DNA taken. The CPS dropped the case a few hours

Is this possible? I would find it amazing that commercial
organisations could start to hold the threat of the police and DNA
sampling over our heads in order to get us to kowtow.

Anybody has the freedom to call the police if a disturbance arises
on their premsises.

No doubt the complainant was initially requested to leave the
premises and refused. In any case, he certainly would have had opportunity
to end the altercation.

If anyone is on private premises and in a similar situation is
requested by someone in obvious authority to leave then they should
do just that. They should then take up their complaint from a more
distant and advantageous position.

ROTFL. Your panglossianism seems to stretch to infinity. I wonder if there's
any possible situation where what is does not equal what ought to be. I've
yet to spot one!
