Aren't Monty Python screenings mandatory in police training ?

That sure explains a lot.

I was notified about this posting and called in as an Expert in the matter: The reason that term is not illegal is because the locals are not using it as a deregatory (sp?) term. The expression is used about a person who deliberately, and with no justified cause, tries to create problems for other people just for the heck of it. The nature of the problems they create would not be to for example cut your car's tires, it's more the type where you block a person's way so that he misses the ferry, and such. There are many opportunities for a police officer to behave like that, and if he does, the judge allowed you to use that single word term about the officer.

There's no alternative term[1] in fact, the alternative is about as long as the explanation above and that is why there is such a nice useful word to use instead.

Hope that made sense, now I go back to lurking.

[1] in the local language

Sorry to spoil the fun, but the charges have been dropped. Dang, I was looking forward to see how this one played out!

I guarantee if it was my youngest teenage son being charged, he'd end up in prison.

That kid can get RANK.

It's always good to recognize talent at an early age....

The trick is turning it into a marketable skill when one becomes an adult.
