A friend of mine lives in a flat in West London which has communal gardens.

On Saturday morning (about 11am) he looked out of his window to see a man 'laying some cable' behind the recycling bin in the garden. Shocking scenes! :0

Apparently the offender was totally smashed, fell over and cut the back of his head slightly and then staggered off.

My friend called the local police and described what was happening and their response was: "What do you expect us to do about it?"

"ARREST HIM!" was the reply.

My mate says he followed the crapper down to the high street to challenge him but didn't want to get to close and personal due to the fear that if he laid a finger on him, he'd probably get done for assault. Plus he'd probably catch something.

The part of the story that I find the most disturbing is not the crapping incident itself, but the police's reaction. It would have been easy to send a car out to find the man as my friend had a good description (cut on head, what clothing he had on, the fact he was pi$$ed out of his mind at 11am, where he was heading).

But alas no, it seems that it is perfectly ok to defecate wherever you want without the worry of being prosecuted.

yeah, i bet on a saturday night the coppers had nothing bettr to do than arrest a man for having a sh1t. It's a bit dirty but who gives a fook, I would have laughed my arse off and thrown something at him instead of calling the police.
