That's because your average Plod hasn't had the proper
'Elf 'n' Safedy, training, and far be it for them to disregard the rules eh !
That'd be taking liberties so it would, which would then bring them into bother with the
civil liberties people because that'd be impinging on someone's
Human rights by making them stand outside in the wet & cold.
Poor Constable Singhs' Turban would get wet & due to his
religious beliefs he can't take it off so they'd have to bring him in so the poor fella wouldn't get soaked, thereby breaching a
risk assessment ruling that a wet turbans weight may add undue pressure onto the wearers neck, thereby opening the force up for a
compensation claim.
But Constable Singhs' replacement Constable Mustafa goes & stands outside so Joe Public would know their local force was operating in observance with
diversity & equality rulings by having an Asian officer in the public eye. And would then jump to the conclusion that the Police were being
racist by making a coloured gentleman stand outside in the cold & wet !
They then proceed inside to have a word with the desk Sergeant who's a hefty bearded bloke with breast implants & wearing a Skirt (
part of the trans-gender equality ruling) to complain about the perceived
racial prejudice of making a coloured officer stand outside only to be asked if they'd phoned beforehand to get a
crime number, prior to coming to the station directly !
Ludicrous ? far fetched ? or really to close to the knuckle ? Welcome to modern day Britain in all it's Multi-Culti, myriad diversity & splendour, rules & regulations absurdity
