I'm sure the FOUR of them are down the pub boasting about their excellent enforcement skills.

Idiots.

I'm sure that this particular instance didn't warrant that kind of reaction, but to be fair in the US at least - plenty of people make a fair amount of money tax free selling stuff at garage sales.  I'm not talking stuff they don't need anymore - but things they specifically make for the purpose of selling it at garage sales.

Long winded - but states started cracking down on this because of tax dodging.

I'm not defending what they did though.

Yeah, but they are not 5years old, and are repeat offenders...

They were not "bobbies" (police) but local Govt trading officials.
