| #5 fownd em nuther sorce. exserps: POLICE have been told to take their shoes off and not use sniffer dogs when raiding Muslim homes. ~snip~ It then lists 18 points police officers should note. These include: • Rapid entry needs to be the last resort and raids into Muslim houses are discouraged for a number of religious dignity reasons. • Police should seek to avoid looking at unclad Muslim women and allow them an opportunity to dress and cover their heads. • For reasons of dignity officers should seek to avoid entering occupied bedrooms and bathrooms even before dawn. • Use of police dogs will be considered serious desecration of the premises and may necessitate extensive cleaning of the house and disposal of household items. • Advice should be sought before considering the use of cameras and camcorders due to the risk of capturing individuals, especially women, in inappropriate dress. • Muslim prisoners should be allowed to take additional clothing to the station. • If people are praying at home officers should stand aside and not disrupt the prayer. They should be allowed the opportunity to finish. • Officers should not take shoes into the houses, especially in areas that might be kept pure for prayer purposes. • In the current climate the justification for pre-dawn raids on Muslim houses needs to be clear and transparent. • Non-Muslims are not allowed to touch holy books, Qurans or religious artefacts without permission. Where possible, Muslim officers in a state of 'Wudhu' (preparation before prayer) should be used for this purpose. mebbe their beter cal ferst to maker shure teh ladees goten they burkas on |

| #1 Jesus wept. [knock] "Metropolitan Police!" [silence] "All right, Nigel. Break it down." "Yes, sir. [smack] Ow! Ow! Ow! My foot." "You're supposed to take your shoes off before we enter, but after you kick the door down." |
