Spot checks by police
3:20pm Thursday 14th January 2010 in Letters By Reader's letter
While I fully support the police in their intention to crack down on drunken yobbery, and in no way would anyone condone drunken driving, they do not have the authority to randomly spot check citizens going about their lawful business.
I, for one, will give short shrift to any policeman who tries those tactics on me.
Godfrey Bloom, UKIP MEP for Yorkshire and North, Lincolnshire
