Comedian Joe Lycett investigated by police after audience member offended by joke at one of his shows (msn.com) Just when you think we couldn't sink any lower... If the article is accurate, Lycett was visited by a detective. It's ok, I'm sure the DC had nothing more important in their job queue, after all, rapes, s.18s, child grooming etc take a back seat to someone not liking a joke.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-merseyside-61823941 Police in Cheshire will start using facial recognition technology in a bid to help identify offenders.
