i got in last night to be greeted my mr and mrs plod..
they said i had been involved in a burglary and they had forensic evidence to place me at the scene of the crime!
well i got arrested at 00 0 and spent the night in a cold cell.. brr.. didnt sleep, 10am came and i got interviewed.. didnt have a clue what they was on about so i went back into the cell..
turns out i used to work at the place that got burgled and they lifted a fingerprint from a door..
thing is.. i last worked there 7 years ago!
everything turned out fine tho, no charges. so im happy. but i need sleep!

no school..police came to our school for like an open day we used to have them all come fire police ambulance service even the army etc.
but they took all our fingerprints and swobs for dna.
it was 10 years ago though.
even gave us a piece of plastic (for a microscope) with our fingerprints on to take home

id be going mad, and if id missed any work because of it id make sure they compensed me in full.
you may even be able to get something simply for being locked away in a cell for a night, major infringement of human rights when you were completely innocent
