Plastic policeman tells boy off for climbing tree!!

What has this country become?

A 9 year old German boy came over to the UK to visit his cousins, being a nice day they went to play in the park and as kids have done since time imemorial they climbed trees and I dare say they may have been loudly having fun.

A local busybody phoned the police to complain that the boys were being rude and anti-social. Now I would have expected the police to discretely look in and, unless there was a genuine problem, to just walk away leaving the boys to play.

Instead, a PCSO told them to play further away from the houses and issued them with a 'Stop and Account' form, leaving the kids frightened that they were in serious trouble.

When did young kids playing innocently in the park and climbing trees become a crime? I didn't notice that one get on the statute books. These PCSOs behave like jumped up little Hitlers, stories abound of them overstepping the mark, from insisting on taking a baby's temperature, to climbing in through open windows to warn householders of the risk of burglary. How dare these people think we are second class to them.

Unless and until somebody commits a crime, keep your bloody nose out of my business and piss off back to the safety of the police station where you won't have to deal with those nasty big kiddies who dare to allow their sounds of play to be heard above the tweeting of birds and the wailing of sirens!
