Parkinson's disease sufferer, 54, held by police at Olympic cycling road race 'because he would not smile'

A father with Parkinson’s disease was arrested as he watched the Olympic cycling road race because he ‘failed to smile or look like he was enjoying himself’.
Mark Worsfold, a martial arts trainer and former soldier, claims that he was thrown to the floor and handcuffed just as cyclists passed by.

His worried wife Nicola only found out he was being held after she reported him missing when he did not turn up for their daughter’s ninth birthday party.

British stupidity at its best...

[Get Real!]

Lack of superficiality like not smiling, not saying “thank you”, “please”, etc, is taken very seriously in Britain and could warrant up to and including lifetime incarceration in “correctional” centers like Guantanamo!

The statement said: "Surrey police has received a letter from the man in which he has said that he 'fully understands and appreciates the action taken by officers'. He has also said that he 'appreciated and thanked both the arresting officers for their apologies and explanations' following his release."

All too frequently people with Parkinson's tell us how are they are accused of being drunk, or acting suspiciously as they go about their daily lives.

Both from the Gruaniad. So unless he was holding up a big sign saying "I have Parkinson's", the police would have thought he was a dodgy looking drunk, and the bloke obviously understood the action of the coppers.

Mind you, a bloody good job he wasn't in Armenias Street!
