During the east valley by-election in stoke, I was at a polling station and a copper asked me for my name and age, I told him, and he drove to the end of the street. After 30 minutes(being parked up at the end of the street) he did a 3 point turn and came back to me. He then asked me for my address, so I asked him why he suddenly wanted it, and he said the head copper of stoke asked him to get it. After a quick telephone call to Tony Lecomber I found out I did not have to give it to him. I then refused to give it to him so he went on his radio for about 20 minutes, came back to me and said fine then, but im going to be back every hour to make sure there's no trouble he came back one more time about 2 hours later and told me it was for my own protection. But the question still remains, why did the head of stoke police want my address? The only answear I have come up with is information gathering.
