I'm sure it didn't go well. If it was somehow framed in a sycophantic way where the police were led to believe it was their idea, I'm sure it would have gone better. Wait that might not be too difficult to do.

Na. If it's British police it's just an excuse. All they're there for after all these years of Tory cuts is to give you a reference number so you can make an insurance claim.
