IT'S ALL DOWN TO MARKET FORCES
An undercover cop in Penang, Malaysia, was mistaken for a robber and held hostage by a 200 strong public crowd.
The cop was attempting to confiscate pornographic videos and DVD's from two peddlers when the crowd decided he was a robber and called the police. It was an hour before his fellow officers arrived and freed him, during which time the two porn peddlers escaped.
Hmm - if the cap fits...
