If it was purely upto me it would go further but he has a caution from a couple of years ago (he and his friends were camping on a field without permission) and is worried that the police would give him more hassle if he makes a big thing of this. I have to be honest speaking to him while trying to convince him to take it further i am finding i was wrong many of todays youth are scared of the police but it's the wrong type of fear for the wrong reasons and thats something i am going to have to think more about in relation to my defence of the police in future.
On a plus point one of my friends who is into the whole mobile phone thing (i am a luddite use it for calls nothing else

) has come and restored everything and he did it in less then a minute so completely pointless thing for the officer to do making this whole thing even more pointless.
