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
later.http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/jul/30/forensicscience.c...
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!
Sorry! Have I said anything that is incorrect?
Not at all - you're always very correct :-)
In almost every instance, you're correct to point out that if the law is as
it is, one should shut up and stop whinging. That is the surest route to a
quiet life.
If faced with a request from the owner or proprietor of private
premises to leave you can either refuse and thus weaken your
postion or you can comply and possibly strengthen it. It's certainly
not a good idea to incite an altercation and with it confusion as to
the justice of your case. "Just reply, OK I'm going but don't imagine
this is the end of the matter" then go.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing at all. It's a view of life. I have a sense of entitlement you might
disapprove of. I don't know my place. I'm rude to people even if they're
within their legal rights. An altercation wouldn't confuse *me* as to the
justice of my case, merely others. I can be perfectly charming and get my
way, but more often I'm an obnoxious pain in the arse. I don't particularly
want to change that approach.
