“For what reason am I under arrest”

It was inapt to charge him with child neglect. Classic American-style trumped up charging, has no place in the U.K. Let’s see what random charges we can invent to really stiff someone, rather than administering justice. The correct crime was drunk driving.

Miley is undoubtedly a mans name in Ireland.  And when you combine that with the name Connors, I would suggest that this person is part of a specific community that laws don't ever apply to.

Sorry Laz, in an almost unheard of Rof first you are categorically and 100% wrong on that. This is a prime example of child neglect by wilfully endangering a child. 

The fact that he was convicted of child neglect suggests that lawyers and the court agree with me. We cannot charge child neglect without cps authorisation and are officers of the court so it seems plod did the right thing there.

You might want to argue it shouldn’t be an offence in the first place (I would vehemently disagree) but you need to take that up with parliament not plod I’m afraid.
