Next time you're reaching down for that iPod or Zune (or anything else for that matter), take care that you don't alarm the authorities with any suspicious movements -- or you could end up like the UK's Darren Nixon. Apparently, the mild-mannered mechanic was on his way home from work when the Bobbies surrounded him and drew their guns, believing that the MP3 player in his pocket was a firearm.Maybe it was one of those music hose assault iPods that plays tune after tune with just one push of the button...and couldn't ear buds be considered silencers?
I see the UK "Only Ones" were "not obliged" to apologize properly.
I just wish I had "a better grasp" of British culture and guns...
