Yeah, that's a good idea. (That was sarcasm, in case you missed it) Let's hope they do just that so that these assholes can claim police brutality, coersion and torture and walk away from all the charges because of a technicality or something equally as silly.
I understand your frustration and pain (I'm british, this has hit me close to home) but I want to see them bought to justice and punished to the full extent of the law. I don't want some vigilante ruining things.
