Yes but now the Police dept is going to be arresting people for not having a light or a bell on their bicycles......one step at a time!

Is it the police or the law/lawyers that's to blame?

The police do not need the batteries for evidence. When our construction supervisor had taken $1000 in lumber and was hiding it in the bush we contacted the police. They came and took statements and pictures of the stashed lumber. They too wanted to take the lumber for evidence, we refused. Since they (police) took the photo's of the lumber, it was used as evidence in court and we got the conviction. That is after 3 trips to the court house. It can be done if you insist. Don't take the first no as the final answer, as the police don't always know the correct answers themselves.

Thanks, but the police already had everyone involved come in and withdraw their statements. This was the only way the police would allow the owner of the cart to keep the batteries. I totally agree with you that this was handled inappropriately, and furthermore, puts a KNOWN criminal back on the street. TOTAL BS

Hopefully the papers will pick this story up...

Very sad and very wrong. This guy will now feel invinsible. Dont suppose there was a photo of him? You could post it "Our good friend......." No laws broken there.

Now you understand my original post.

Please send me a picture of this guy.

I would LOVE to post this guy's picture. I have to get it from the police, as they took the photos at the scene.
