were doing another promo photo shoot in Notting Hill, London today when they were stopped by a cop on the 'sus' law. You have to remember no-one walked the streets like that in '77.
"We were walking between shots when this constable appeared, He came over and we were all quite taken aback. Steve Jones warned me against taking any shots: he thought I'd be arrested. Rotten was booked and frisked for drugs, and gave his name as 'Dave Vanian' (sniggering - Dont Care). The mood was initially light-hearted but it quickly got very serious. Eventually the policeman let them go with a caution."
