He should have waited for a solicitor.

    Rowe said he was interviewed without legal representation as officers had been unable to reach a solicitor, and after spending several hours in custody he said he accepted a caution so he would be released.

    He was stopped at 12:20pm, it's not like everyone had gone home for the day. What's he supposed to do at that point? He's already been waiting "several hours", it's not like there's gonna be more solicitors working after five o'clock. It sucks, but being able to go home and fight it afterwards seems like the best option. Especially with national news coverage on your side

    Possibly. It seems like a situation where an autistic man was banged up in an unpleasant cell and they broke him.

    I do not know if overturning a caution is as easy as avoiding it. Heard people getting similar police records and being unable to overturn them at all because they weren't convictions.
