PC Pulls Over Man Having Wanki*g Fit (Video)

MASTURBATION is rarely the topic of a website reporting. But it is not taboo (it’s not nose picking).

And Anorak does not publish a story on masturbation. In “I’ve had a fit, you w*****”, the Sun spots epileptic Michael Beckbane moving his hand up and down.

Says traffic cop Philip Newell to the Beak, seated in Prestatyn, north Wales: “I took it he was calling me a w*****.”

(It is most likely PC Newell used the word “wanker” in court, and not ‘stars’. Magistrates are people of the streets and are familiar with the current modes of abuse, perhaps more than you can shake a stick at, or for that matter a fist.)

Beckbane is affronted. He says he was sat in the back of a van being driven by his son Robert and holding his false teeth. His hand motions were evidence of a seizure.
Add to this the accusation that when pulled over by the law’s long arm he slammed a police car door on PC Peter Doran, dislocating his finger.

Therein lurks a bitter irony.

But to the matter in hand, and Mr Beakbane is found guilty of threatening behaviour and assault.

But could he have been innocent? There is a rational and innocent explanation for anything. And Anorak is minded of this TV news report that investigated just such a misinterpretation. And, no, it’s not safe for viewing at work…
