Story here. Excerpt:

'A father was arrested and held in a cell for five hours for playing football with his children in a park without permission from the council.

Darren Chapman, 42, was taken into custody after the family game, which was in defiance of town hall orders.

Council rules state that players must undergo a criminal records check, pay for insurance and apply for formal permission for the game.'
