I like how the cops arrested the guy after they made the damn mistake. Assholes.

I'm glad he's looking into wrongful arrest complaints. It was funny until they arrested him for their mistake - whoever made that mistake should be in trouble.

How about UK cops, my dear homonym. This happened in the British Isles, and not in the colony.

The cops knew exactly what it was in the window. They just wanted an excuse to "cop" a feel on it as it were.

Jesus Christ, I feel violated by that pun.

Not nearly as violated as the gentleman whose house was just violated by said 'copped' feel.

It's the price you pay for having a life-size replica fetish.

I wouldn't rule out U.S. cops doing the same thing.
Or worse.

Never said they wouldn't. I feel that Lara would have lost a life right then and there in the US for not "getting on the ground" fast enough.

US cops would have called the SWAT team to do the dirty work...

Haha. No I wasn't being serious. :tomatoface:
C'mon. A simple look at the standee's figure should've been enough to tell that it's a fake. :roll: LOL
Guess that what happens when acts of idiocy lead to other acts of idiocy, but whatever. I find myself amused that the PD has kept the mannequin for their own purposes (evidence was it? right... [heh, heh]) despite the fact that it's a poor excuse for property theft.
I'm glad he's seeking wrongful arrest charges on the PD though. I hope that all the police involved are getting plenty of negative marks on their records. In all truth, they should probably be jailed themselves.
