Man arrested for not smiling at Olympics
London: A father with Parkinson’s disease was arrested as he watched the Olympic cycling road race because he ‘failed to smile or look like he was enjoying himself’.

Mark Worsfold, a martial arts trainer and former soldier, claims that he was thrown to the floor and handcuffed just as cyclists passed by.

His worried wife Nicola only found out he was being held after she reported him missing when he did not turn up for their daughter’s ninth birthday party.

The 54-year-old had his fingerprints, DNA and mugshot taken before being questioned about why he did not appear to be enjoying the event on July 28.

Police said Worsfold, who was held for over five hours, was arrested because of ‘his manner, his state of dress and his proximity to the course’. A spokesman added that the arrest was necessary to avoid a breach of the peace because he was standing near a group of protesters.

But Worsfold, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2010, said that one of the symptoms of the disease is muscle rigidity, which can cause his face to become expressionless and mask-like.

Worsfold, who had stopped to watch the men’s road race in Leatherhead, Surrey, after holding a Taekwondo demonstration nearby, said officers told him he was being arrested and taken to Reigate police station because he was not smiling.

‘I was sitting minding my own business,’ he told a local newspaper. ‘Before I knew anything the police grabbed me off this seven-foot wall, threw me to the floor and cuffed me so all I saw of the cycle race was between the feet of people from the pavement.

And there we have behavioral profiling in action, folks. So for all you who believe TSA should be operating on the same principles, I hope you come to your senses. This happened in Great Britain, but it could still happen in the US with behavioral profiling. What ever happened to "Innocent until proven guilty" and waiting until a crime has been committed before arresting a proposed perp? Sickening.

Re: Man arrested for not smiling at Olympics
if you read into it, it turns out he was actually arrested by the London pre-crime division of the police, for a crime he was about to commit.

heres what the daily mail said.

"In a statement, the spokesman added: ‘He was positioned close to a group of protesters and based on his manner, his state of dress and his proximity to the course, officers made an arrest to prevent a possible breach of the peace."

This actually seem to be a true story..I really do not know what to think when the police demand that you have a good time and if you do not you are arrested. When this gets mainstream, I foresee a couple of Cops unemployed just to cover this nonsense up. Ya all live in a great country, Make sure EVERYBODY knows about this and watch what happens... uk
