The whole story doesn’t make any sense. I don’t believe it. I bet ya there is much more to it which is not covered by the paper because the real story would not sell.

You could be right, but what’s so hard to believe about a beaurecrat insisting that he is right and you are wrong? Or, does that only occur in the US?

Or is that Deutschland?

Oh yes, and “We’re from the police and we’re here to help (the state to take away your property/money)”.

Yeah, they “needed” four bobbies (cops) to intimidate and ensure they can overpower an old man, right? Right. Such manly men…..

Isn’t this kind of thing also known as “extortion with menaces”? Oh right, sorry, that’s only if a NON-government person does it.

Thank God I left the UK. Trouble is, we’re only about 5 years behind the UK in all of this nonsense here in the states.

On the other hand, we occasionally see some small hope that things are changing for the better over here and hope that our British cousins can start to see reason and take their country back from their overlords, too. I’m referring to how CT has decided to reject speed cameras. Pay particular attention to the state legislator quote of Ben Franklin.
