Wait so the police arrested him for hours and stole his gardening tools even though he could reasonably prove he was gardening?

And he now has a caution on record?!

Wtaf

The fact the officers didn't even know what a fucking allotment was is fucking baffling

This sounds like a cut and dry lawsuit honestly. Illegal detainment if nothing else. Especially now having a warning on perment record when no crime was committed?

Lawyers should be lining up around the block for this guy.
