He was NOT falsely detained, he was detained because someone had been shot and he had a piece on him and was a few hundred yards away. In that case the police acted reasonably until they were sure of the situation.
The charges he faces arent even do with carrying a metal, they are do with threatening and aggressive behaviour he showed towards the police.
Personally, and impartially, I hope a 50 hour community service order that has him picking up garbage every weekend for the next 6 weeks will teach this guy a little common sense.
I bet he feels like a real constitutional hero right now.
