was the headline,
I could barely
believe it, but it is true, Steven Peers aged 46 said he has often donned
the mock outfit to perform ‘comical parodies’ of Greater Manchester
Police after becoming unhappy with how officers behaved during the Barton
Moss anti-fracking protests,
He wore it around Manchester city centre while
filming sketches yesterday but was stopped by an officer near Bootle Streetpolice station, so a question to the arresting officer 11025, what was your
'tipping point' in other words what was exactly the part of Steven's
parody that tipped you over the edge and made you arrest him rather than have a
laugh as other policemen did when he dressed up in the same fashion at
Barton Moss, in front of Swinton police station and in front of the
force HQ in Newton Heath? was it the 666 comic hat, the hi-vis jacket or
the pigs mask?
it may
seem like a trivial question, but if you plan to go to a fancy dress party
dressed as a policeman or policewoman you do not want to end up in the cells
like Steven did for eight hours before being bailed until July – while the
outfit was confiscated, a Greater Manchester Police spokesman
said: “At about 4pm on Thursday 22 May 2014, a man was arrested in Manchester
city centre on suspicion of impersonating a police officer. “He was released on
bail until 17 July 2014 pending further enquiries.” I wonder what the court
will make of the case?
