We just had a visit from the police

hi @vidanatural thank you for your comment, we wanted to answer his questions as we wanted to find out the reason for his visit, when you are in the UK and a policeman approaches you, it is the normal reaction to think that you have done something or they want something, being here we just need to readjust to the ways of the country and understand them and enjoy them, we knew we had nothing to hide so weren't worried that we could have criminalized ourselves, but at the same time it isn't everyday that you have a policeman standing at your door either.

@andysmancave I hope you realize how lucky you really are. I am happy that nothing happened. I am only here to learn on many different subjects, such as topics relating to human behavior. I am still thinking about the "what if". Whether or not you are guilty of infringing someone else's rights, let us say you are innocent(which they are supposed to presume you are innocent of all elements of a crime), what if the cop in question(Of course, you would have no way of knowing his/her intentions), have happened to make up a charge against you? How do you know he was a real police officer?

@vidanatural on this occasion we had previously seen him and his car in the village, so we knew we were in safe hands so to speak, but if it had been someone we had never seen before, then I would have proceeded with more caution, i.e. asking to see his badge and calling the local station to double check his story.
