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.

Yeah, boycott the dump. It's like getting blood out of stone getting your
money back for defective items bought from that place. And they are
expensive, NICs are half the price at Maplin Electronics for example and
they don't bring on the inquisition when you go for a refund. Very polite
and amenable store. They sell most pc related things. I'd recommend anyone
go there.
