You know as a serving officer what was to stop Cousins from wearing his uniform too on the night in question; even have access to his marked police car; then we get into his car; hindsight is great but under similar circumstances every single one of us would have complied. There is no way a passing bus could be flagged down; they would just assume you need the ride for your journey and couldn’t be bothered waiting at a bus stop. I sed to my daughter run for the hills if a cop stops you and tells you to get in; marked car or not; go into a shop if one is near, scream run into open door house, bang on doors , anything.
