LONDON (AFP) — A police officer in Scotland has confessed to following the Jedi faith beloved of Star Wars film fans, respected policing analysis group Jane's reported Thursday.

Pam Fleming, a 45-year-old beat officer in Glasgow for Strathclyde Police, said that she thought all police officers "should be Jedis," when interviewed by Jane's Police Review.

"For me, it is not a joke," she said. "Being a Jedi is a way of life.

"I love the Star Wars films and the concept of being a Jedi, that the faith is not divisive."

Fleming said she knew of other Jedis in Strathclyde Police -- the force apparently has eight in total.

According to Britain's Office for National Statistics, a total of 390,000 people in England and Wales listed their religion as Jedi in the most recent census in 2001. Scotland has a reported 14,000 followers.

But it noted that this may have been largely due to an Internet campaign launched in the run-up to the census. Jedi followers are grouped under atheist.

1. Sure, why not?
I'm openning a halfway house based on life lessons I learned from 'The Breakfast Club' next week.

2. Dogma
the reason Jay and Silent Bob were in Illinois was because they figured if "John Bender" was considered tough in that town they would be able to rule

of course the reason they were hanging out at an abortion clinic was because the figured the women were easy

3. I'm not sure what to say
1) "She can use her Jedi mind tricks on me anytime!"

2) "I'd like to show her my light saber!"
