The police trainer says to the group 'If this incident were captured on one of your surveillance monitors, what would be your gut reaction?' The responses from members of the group are 'Look at the arse on that thing'?', 'Chop his filthy, groping hand off with a bloody meat cleaver!', 'It looks a whole load more than a cheeky pinch but the real nuts of this crime (or not) is held by the nature of the man and woman's pre-existing relationship.' A screening officer holds a card in his hand stating 'Applicants for CCTV screen monitoring. Answers' He says 'You're all wrong. The female on the monitor has an expired warrant on her car - Dispatch a parking warden immediately!!!' Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
