What exactly do you find great about it ?

This article appears to be from twenty years ago.  I wouldn't have know where to start looking.  And I certainly didn't know that The Portuguese Police had their own Prison.

Your life is clearly enriched by writing sarky barbs on a backwater forum, why judge?

I know that The Portuguese Police are despised by the population at large.  They and The Old Guard have ruled by fear for far too long.

I don't think the UK police are impolite to old people, are they? I once had a young policewoman call me 'mate' which I didn't appreciate, mind.

No Gendarme would ever call me Mate.  But then good manners is inherent in France.
