On the build up to the harrowing but brilliant Little Boy Blue I have just chanced upon a programme about "cops" in Cheshire or something like that.

They find a drugged up arsā‚¬hole on their patrol.
They find cocaine in his pocket.
They check to see if he has any previous drug convictions.

He does.

A trip down the station and a 150 quid fine is the "penalty".
We used to have a saying. Strong arm of the law or something.
And people blame society.

In all fairness though, possession of a major illegal drug with previous is nowhere near as bad as doing 42mph in a 40 zone.

That's serious crime man.
