I'm arresting you on suspicion of... oh, alright, not suspicion, just a whim really.

Gawd bless David Blunkett, the man you can always rely upon to say something stupid in a crisis.

From today's Guardian:

"David Blunkett, the former home secretary, led a cross-party attack on the police yesterday for what he described as 'overkill' in arresting Damien Green, the shadow Home Office minister... Blunkett spoke of 'the danger of treating every case as though we are dealing with a suspicious character.'"

That's most police work screwed then...
