"Stephen McAleer was walking home with his fiancee when his local police force saw him on CCTV carrying a knife. Stephen had previous convictions for assault, prompting the cops to swoop down and throw him in prison for three months. Justice done? Well no, because it wasn't actually a knife..." - ovigia from Bookmarklet

"He said: "All of a sudden the police started asking me about a knife, saying they had CCTV pictures of me with one. "It was from a few weeks previously, when I was walking home with my fianc›e from her mum's house. "I was trying to rack my brain to think what it could have been I was carrying. It eventually dawned on me that it had been the rose in its plastic wrapper. But I was still kept in prison until my case came to court."" http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news... - ovigia

as i said a lot of times before, CCTVs are just for scare people but not to protect them. in this case this is very clear, so the guy is arrested weeks after being taped, if he really had a knife he could had commited a crime and the CCTV cameras would do nothing! - ovigia
