Grandstanding - again!

The Police wished to question Harry Redknapp about alleged false accounting and conspiracy to defraud. To this end they decided to arrest him - somewhat OTT perhaps, but assuming that they had the requisite grounds for reasonably suspecting him of involvement in such an offence, something they were entitled to do. But how did they go about this? They turned up at his house at 6.00 a.m. when he wasn't even there (did they know- if not why not, his movements were anything but secret) and caused considerable distress to his wife who was alone in the house. And even more sinisterly, they were accompanied by photographers from one of the tabloids. Does this remind you of the Ruth Turner business (see post dated 22nd January)? What are the Police playing at? Isn't it about time somebody called them to account? I think they've been watching too many TV cop shows.
