should I comment on the life preserving qualities of a double mattress on your back relative to that of a thingy on your head? No, I'd better not.

I`ve got a photo of six on duty police officers queueing in mcdonalds whilst policing a Leeds Utd game.
Wow, shock f*cking horror! So where would you want them to have a meal? They'll be from outside of Leeds, and have no facilities to store a packed meal. Drafted in on a cancelled rest day to stop complete morons from kicking each others' heads in they'll be fed up of being cramped inside a van for the last three hours. Nowhere in police regulations does it say they can't eat in public, or from a MacDonalds. They are entitled to 45 minutes mealbreak for every 8 hours worked, and they are closer to where they are needed if the poor buggers choose to eat from a popular spot where virtually every cod-head inside has spent the last week moaning that they never see a copper. Rant over.
So how did the police manage to get round the 24 hour custody limit set by Police and Criminal Evidence Act, and what was he charged with to get a court case? The only offence relating to photographing a police officer would be under the Prevention of Terrorism Act, and that clearly doesn't apply tot he circumstances you have described.
