Seeing corruption first hand is extremely saddening, and to be forced to lose all respect for police is even sadder.
Waiting outside the pool club for a friend, frozen solid with my hands in my pockets a 5-man strong gang of utter scums puts on their anchors and run out towards me. They proceed to tell me I'm "standing in a weird place that's all". I immediately inform them that I'm aware they're full of BS and that there is absolutely no legal definition of a "weird place" and any powers given to police over citizens standing in such "weird places".
They then hastily change their story from "weird place that's all" and proceed to tell me I'm in a "drugs hotspot".
I inform them that I'm not aware of, or witness to, any drug taking going on and it still doesn't give them any right to approach me as they/myself have not seen any violent crime or had any reports of violent crime occurring.
Seeing their faces go red due to losing all hope of performing an illegal search, he proceeds to ask me my name and details. Still confused about being a suspect in "standing in a weird place" and/or "standing in a drugs hotspot" I ask him to clarify his suspicions and the reasons for approaching me. Response, "just give me your ID or we'll put you in a cell to find out who you are".
Knowing I have a friend on his way to meet me, and knowing that I wasn't guilty or wanted for anything, and to avoid the displeasure of being threatened and coerced further, I just gave him my ID.
The funny thing is, they managed to ascertain whether or not I had drugs on me and whether I was guilty of standing in a weird place just from doing a name check.
I asked the copper how amazing this was and he just walked away red faced.
These scums were clearly motivated to approach me for reasons other than crime detection and prevention, possibly race. So people of OcUK, what can we do to stop scums like this from tarnishing and giving a bad rep to our Police forces?

Read the last sentence, I clearly distinguish between Scums and the Police force.
