Pepper spray? Jeez I'm glad I haven't been caught since pepper spray came into use!! Although a certain person involved in a pursuit figured a baton into my windscreen while my car was parked and I was handcuffed on the ground with a knee in the back of my head was going to help end the pursuit. Funnily enough his story didn't quite stack up with the witness reports of my fine upstanding parents and a family friend who is a barrister. Not that the guy from the Police Complaints Authority cared for their version - cos cops never lie! - until they produced the photographs. Thanks to the PCA for eventually sponsoring my nice new windscreen.
Unsure if getting a new windscreen was quite worth 18 months disq and 3 months PD... but oh, well... that was one case where I really shoulda known better.
