Yes I have very intimate experience with them, It was my first career I did it for 4 years so it was more of an intimate experience with myself. They don't hassle me at all my tent is well hidden from public view. I don't beg or sit on the streets drinking so I'm of no concern to them. Vagrancy is an offence in England but they will only pull that as an excuse to arrest someone because they are being a nuisance. We have good & bad police here some are the salt of the Earth some are like Hitler. The reason I left that fold was because I didn't agree with most of the laws of the land. I used to get told off for being too lenient if I didn't personally see something as an offense I wouldn't enforce it. Back then it was a no no. Although these days I hear they actually train them to be a bit more like I was. In America I hear these days they are like a cross between the KGB in the 60s & the Gestapo in the 40s.
