In other news, Police hunt joker who drew hitler Moustache.
Quote:
A rural police force has been criticised for starting an investigation after a poster making a local councillor look like Hitler was put up on a village notice board.
At least four officers are said to have visited residents in the hamlet of Pitcombe, Somerset, after a poster of the Conservative councillor Mike Beech had a Hitler-like moustache drawn on it.
After seeing the poster, Mr Beech reported it to the police. Officers began an inquiry under the Public Order Act, saying that the poster could be deemed to cause “harassment, alarm and distress” to the councillor.
Officers even conducted house-to-house inquiries, visiting homeowners at each of the hamlet’s 20 houses. Villagers said the investigation was “an outrageous waste of police and taxpayers’ money”.

These public order offences are becoming a bit of a joke really.
