Except PCSO's don't have powers of arrest so if he'd waited till the guy came out of the chemist he'd still have to call on the Police to actually arrest him. As I've said before 5 PC's could very well have been in one van or two cars nearby who both went as nothing else was happening at that particular time.

They must have known / I would have thought = Two different things.
Plus we have the arrestees word for this, generally if someone arrested wants someone else informed they are called as soon as possible. If she didn't answer the phone initially, was out of the house etc. then you can't expect the Police to keep phoning every 5 minutes until they get a hold of her. *IF* he even asked for her to be contacted at all. A lot of arrested people try to keep things quiet and don't want anyone told they have been banged up.

Re: 18 hours in cell for discarded apple core
In my humble opinion, the officer acted correctly. The mention of this guy being unemployed due to a heart condition is just a media spoiler which is not a material fact pertaining to the offence.
Facts are he seems to have been observed littering therefore a potential offence has been committed. Thats it-end of story.
See here..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litter
How would he and his ilk like a first offence penalty of a fine of $1000 and 24 hours litter picking duty?
Thats why the US is very clean and Britain is a filthy dump. |

Exactly, if the bloke had been a bit cooperative this wouldn't have happened, he brought this on himself.
