    Ha!

    This is like watching those cops shows where the police bust in through the front door, catch the guy babbing up a half K of heroine and he starts to deny any activity in the drugs trade. He's been 'stitched up'.

    Also... why do they only ever begin to resist arrest once the cuffs go ON ?
