Classy people in Solihull, wanting what they paid for......
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-22887138
Man calls Solihull police to complain about prostitute's looks
A man has been warned after he dialled 999 to complain about a prostitute's looks after meeting her.
West Midlands Police said they were contacted by the caller who said he "wished to report her for breaching the Sale of Goods Act".
The force said the call was received at about 19:30 BST on Tuesday complaining that the woman was not as attractive as she had claimed.
Officers have now sent the man a letter warning him about wasting police time.
West Midlands Police said the man had claimed he met the woman in a hotel car park.
'It was unbelievable'
"The caller claimed that the woman had made out she was better looking than she actually was and he wished to report her for breaching the Sale of Goods Act," a spokesperson for the force said.
"When he raised this issue with the woman concerned, she allegedly took his car keys, ran away from the car and threw them back at him, prompting him to call police."
Sgt Jerome Moran, based at Solihull police station, called the man back to offer some advice.
He said: "It was unbelievable - he genuinely believed he had done nothing wrong and that the woman should have been investigated by police for misrepresentation.
"I told him that she'd not committed any offences and that it was his actions, in soliciting for sex, that were in fact illegal."
Despite the man refusing to give his details, police were able to identify him and have sent him a letter warning him about his actions.
The Sale of Goods Act 1979 gives consumers legal rights, stipulating goods which are sold must be of satisfactory quality, be fit for purpose and must match the seller's description.
Forget knives and gun control, there really should be testing and licences for telecommunications use.

There was an episode of Cops! where a guy at a hotel wanted to report stolen money and property from his room.
As the cops questioned him, the viewers learned that it was a pair of hookers that ripped him off of $1500, which he gave them so they would go get him a large sum of drugs...
It was very funny watching the story unfold.

That seems to be a common theme, I wonder how the cops can keep a straight face when dealing with that level of stupid

Except that he didn't break the law as he wasn't soliciting if the meeting was pre arranged. Prostitution is, and always has been, legal in the UK.

The prefect example of someone missing the point.
Do not underestimate the Squats. They survived for millenia cut off from the Imperium and assailed on all sides. Their determination and resilience is an example to us all.

Its just a shame that they couldn't fight off Andy Chambers.

The guy eventually just said "Are you guys going to help me or not?"
"We're not going to help you track down a couple of prostitutes to recover your drug money, no. Is there anything else you need help with?"
"No..."
"Then we're leaving. Don't call us again unless it's an emergency."
LOL!

If this were Texas, I do believe he could have murdered her without further legal consequence.
