Gestapo tactics?

I think I'm going to have to start a new series of posts about the way the Police seem to think they have some sort of God-given right to behave how they like, with no regard for common sense or common decency. I've posted before about their unacceptable behaviour regarding Ruth Turner and Harry Redknapp, and now we have the story of a man who was erroneously thought to have stolen a plasma TV from a Tesco store. OK, so the Police had to follow this up - no argument. But what did they do - they turned up at his house at THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING!! What the hell did they think they were doing? Not surprisingly his wife and children were terrified, and the children in particular are now having problems sleeping. The Police's response? - they acted in "good faith" on the basis of the information they were given. But why 3.00 a.m.???
