Had to laugh about the 'community policing' angle that the police are taking on this. Somebody higher up the chain had to make a decision about whether to give the bobbies a slap on the wrist or a pat on the back.

Incidentally, that band got me to join them for a one off gig last year. So they're not fussy.
