I commented last week on the plight of the elderly couple in Brooklyn in New York who were mistakenly suspected of being felons, not once but fifty times, by police. The couple received an apology and, of all things, a cheesecake!
Something like it can happen here.
Officers from Hampshire Police recently battered down the door of a young couple in Dibden Purlieu, near Southampton, believing it was the home of a suspected drug dealer. They detained the father of two children until they realised that the suspect had moved out of the property some time before.
Later in the day, officers returned to the house, not with a cheesecake as in the case of the Brooklyn couple, but with a £1.79 bottle of beer and a bunch of flowers.
I think I’d have preferred the cheesecake!
