Posted by Andres Caceres, 00:25, Thu 17 September 2009: # I have been detained once in a Police station in Hackney London just days before Christmas in 2007.I was taken handcuffed unfairly just because I happened to be there when they did a raid and they would not pay attention to my explanation. During the more than 24 hours they kept incommunicated, they took smaples of my DNA from my throat.They kept me alone in a cell and they took away my mobile, my belongings and forced to leave everything behind. There was no way I could possible retrieve any numbers of my immediate contacts. After begging them to contact my solicitor, I managed to conviced them to call them but when they rang the office happened to have closed due to days prior to Christmas holidays so they only reached their answering machine. It was the worst time I ever experienced in my life since for a moment i was suspect in the middle of their own investigation. I believe they still keep my DNA in their records. Once I was released they didn't even apologise despite all I feel very ashamed for what they made feel like a criminal. Since they couldn't prove anything wrong with me. I have no relatives in this city just friends and a Buddhist organisation where I am member since 2006. They were the ones who backed me up and called the police station and finally they could believe in me to release me. I think the way police acts nowadays is to fight against crime however there are better ways to do this without humillating innocent people. I know we live in our present time with so much distrust and potential risk of becoming victims of violence and assaults in the streets. This is why I sincerely understand the labour of the police which is extremely difficult to perform when they have to arrest people and keep them detained until they are able to do their investigations.
