I had always been led to believe that plod are trained to shoot at the body under all circumstances. Anyone out there suitably qualified to confirm or deny?
I had pondered.. OK random searches on the tube. What does a copper do on discovering and individual wearing an IED, presuambly with a hand held trigger. Lose, lose situation. Now I see the only realistic tactic that may be employed.

Just hope that pick pockets, dodgy street traders and the like have the comon sense to stand still and do as they're told when challenged.
