Oh come now !
I cannot believe that a PC could have formed 'reasonable' grounds for considering that the flight deck crew were unfit and should be tested.
'Reasonable' would mean just that but would need to be justified by the smell of acohol, or something in their demeanour that indicate that they were unfit.
Taking the fact that they had just flown in from somewhere they would not have been over the limit at that stage from the night before.
I think the point practically everyone has made on here is along those lines.
The forming of a judgement requires sound reasoning skills, it would appear that they were lacking in this case.
I also think it is outrageous that the Police cannot be held to account for their actions in this case, and the 'policy' of not commenting is totally at odds with the natural law of justice.
Effectively they can act as they wish, and then 'hide' behind policy
