Your implication is that the story is made up? Why would I want to do that? The coppers I worked with were top drawer and they were just as frustrated at the hierarchy stopping them from getting a job done. Sure, I could go in to my logbook and give you the date and place, I could even tell you the pikey site (now that I live abroad) but what the hell use is that?
The frustrations were well spelled out at the time by the force members in question. If you choose to believe it's a fairy story it's no skin off my nose mate.
