I am sure there is a reason behind it. But almost whenever I see someone get arrested whether it be in the UK, or Ireland and for whatever crime it is always at the crack of dawn. Is it to catch them off guard or something, or just to annoy the crap out of them.
the cops do it deliberately hoping to catch people off guard either stil in bed or just up….
Just imagine if they started arresting all those suspected of corruption over here!
