I can tell you the funniest thing I didn’t arrest someone for:What’s the funniest thing you ever arrested someone for?
Called to a house burglary in progress; hurried to address and spoke to a big blond lad inside, gave him my details, contact number and victim care package. Top service..
Upon leaving I thought I’d speak to the old dear who called it in..reassure her.
‘Can you describe the man you saw?’
‘Yes, he was a big blond lad-I saw him kick the bottom door panel in’
Oh, ffs!
I never uttered a word of it.

I've arrested a bride and groom before-kicks off more than you'd think at weddings..@bert38 A 6 foot plus rugby player at my sister’s 18th got arrested for pissing in the street. He was also in full drag.

I didn’t go to my sister’s because I can’t stand my dad’s side of the family.
Probably my most embarrassing experience was as a probationer one night shift i was in the office transcribing one of my taped interviews (in those days you did it yourself) so I had headphones on..
Just down the corridor was the snooker room which had a fruit machine and a table tennis table.
At around 3am I heard a loud bang, and I thought, 'blimey, somebody just hit something very hard against something very hard-they must be in a mood.'..and carried on doing my transcript..
About 5am, I went out for a dive before the Inspector shouted up and wanted everyone back in the nick quick smart.
He was fuming-somebody had burgled the nick-climbed up the drainpipe in through the toilet window and then smashed open the fruit machine (turns out it was 3 of them using a sledge hammer) and made off with all the money..
'Bert!! Weren't you in the room next door?'..
'Never heard a thing Sir!'

That story isn’t as funny as you think it is.

sorry-it really was-it was 1996, I can't exactly go back in time
but just for you (deary me)
the lad was the previous tenant-I had met him several times, inc at the address in question-it was a run down flat in a block of run down flats
the place was empty
he was after the copper piping
he didn't take anything
the bottom panel in the door was literally made of cardboard
I apologise profusely-I wrongly assumed he still lived there (because I believed his lies) so yes, I couldve nicked him for burglary with intent but literally nothing would have come of it.
..and it makes a shit anecdote.

That description is a far cry from the ineptitude described in your first post
it was still pretty ineptThat description is a far cry from the ineptitude described in your first post
but truthfully nobody at my station arrested more people-i was a pain in the ass for local villains..
