Bit harsh bloated as you know nothing about it.
My father went to prison for a year when I was a kid...bent fraud squad whom he refused to pay off because he wasn't guilty.
Similarly had a posh, hard working mate who did a citizens arrest of a drug dealer who used his car as a battering ram. Ended up with an ABH conviction as the CPS and the bill fiddled the trial.
The dealer had similar form but was a grass for the bill...although in france there are areas where the gendarmes are working with the drug dealing scum.
