Not only are they arresting snowball-throwing hitchhikers and busking bagpipers, but they are also strip-searching clowns.
Key Quote: Dave Vaughan, 60, who was due to perform for sick children as PC Konk,
also had his plastic handcuffs confiscated at Birmingham International
Airport.

And to the stories:
He was then stripped to his underwear and had his plastic scissors, toy camera, wacky glasses and bubble saxophone examined.
I guess he forgot his one quart reclosable bag.
Next let's get those dAmn mimes.
As for the snowball-throwing hitchhiker, alcohol was involved and he was lucky he was arrested, rather than flattened: Kelly was seen walking in the fast lane of a motorway, jumping toward vehicles to try to make them stop.
Maybe he thought he was in Pamplona?
I know it's a minority opinion here, but I like bagpipes.

I want to point out that this was in Birmingham, England--here in Alabama busking is still legal, as far as you know...

"I showed them my police-clown identity card, which had my picture next to the my credentials as a member of the Criminal Insane Department, but I don't think that really helped."
Damn! Where can I get one of those cards?!

^5 backatcha, Jeff.
Not warm today. It was a brisk 65 this morning.

*glares at Siouxie*
29 here, and that's balmy compared to elsewhere...

"They asked me to move on but I wanted to finish my hour of playing and put the blow stick to my mouth and that was it."
Snork. That is all.
