London Police accused of using undercover dwarves in stop and search

London police sued over claims it used undercover dwarves alongside “well-fed policemen” to carry out stop and searches.

The accusations are being leveled at the City of London Police by Dr Alexander Sobko, a Russian doctor who is claiming £55,000 in damages. He insists he was targeted by some rather strange characters on two separate occasions in October 2006.

A City of London Police spokesman was asked for comment by The Sun, and simply stated: “The City of London Police is aware of the claim filed at the High Court and lawyers have been instructed to contest the allegations made by Dr Alexander Sobko.”

From the article at The Sun:

City of London Police has been hit with the barmy writ by a Russian doctor who also alleges its officers sexually assaulted him and tried to take his DNA for “covert biological experiments”.
…
He claims he was first stopped in the capital’s Chancery Lane after being spotted “doing exercises to refresh my mind” in the street.

In another rambling section he claimed he had refused a cup of tea while he was being quizzed “for fear of being poisoned”.

Dr. Sobko says he was stopped and subjected to a search without warrant, under the Terrorism Act, by “two well-fed policemen and one well-fed policewoman.” He was afterward taken to a police station for questioning.

The doctor states that one week after this incident, he was approached by dwarves who searched him without any explanation.

Quoting the claim:

“Two dwarf chaps approached the claimant smiling tensely, one producing something like a badge and expressing his desire to search the claimant on the basis of a Terrorism Act. As to the claimant’s understanding, the policemen were using the Terrorism Act to make sexual advances as one of those cops was searching the claimant’s space between legs for too long, smiling. He stopped doing so after the claimant asked what he was doing there.”

Dr. Sobko is acting for himself. He seeks damages for wrongful arrest, humiliation, degrading treatment, assault and battery, systematic harassment, and trespass to goods.

It seems unlikely that the doctor was hassled by freakish-looking London cops. Did he imagone it all; which would mean he imagined he was taken to a police station.

Either that, or the doctor is a liar and a quack. But if so, why make up a lie like this? If the guy wanted money, he could just slip-and-fall. At least he’d be able to find a lawyer to represent him.

This story is pretty interesting to me. Obviously this man is sure that some altercation took place, twice, in October of 2006. While he was probably not being searched and taken in by London’s finest strangest, it does seem plausible that something happened. My thinking is that the whole thing reads like an account of alien abduction.

Also, could the “officers” were actually the classic “men in black”?
