The new police caution was designed by, Michael Howard, when he was Home Secretary and trying to porove his tough on crime credentials.

However, it is complete and utterely inconprehensible, which violates the principle that the caution must be understood by the person being given it.

Can any one quote a solitary case, where something the suspect failed to mentioned at the time of their arrest harmed their defence or, was deemed inadmissable in court?

"You are not obliged to say anything but, anything you do say will be taken down in writing and may be used in evidence against you."

A caution easily understood and one which should be reinstated A.S.A.P.
