    The only addition to this that I can think of is , A PCSO does not have the right to search you unless in the presence of a normal PC in uniform. I think there may also be a maximum time that a PCSO can detain you for pending the arrival of a normal Officer.

    LCD Monitors and calibration

    My recomendations are to buy a large screen ( 24inch) or thereabouts , and get one that is DVI connected ( even if the PC isn't capable currently) .
