That doesn't, or should not, take away the citizen's legal rights. One of which is the right not always to do what a policeman wants you to do, if this wish of his is not backed up by law.
Orders come from the 'top' and that is probably HMG. With a change of government we hopefully will see respect return for the police.Comment

I found my dealings with the police here in Switzerland have been far less confrontational and hostile than those in the UK. Even 20 years ago. Here, they seem much more to understand they are part of the community.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Now the police are targetting civil liberties campaigners. This is bad. Freedom of speech is on the way out.

Police who arrested the Conservative frontbencher Damian Green trawled his private e-mails looking for information on Britain’s leading civil liberties campaigner.
Officers from Scotland Yard’s antiterror squad searched the computer seized from his parliamentary office using the key words “Shami Chakrabarti” – even though the Liberty director had nothing to do with the leaking of Home Office documents that prompted the investigation.

Indeed, on of the prime things that Labour and Conservative politicians ahre is a tendency to discover once in power that some of the things their predecessors did that seemed so evil at the time actually have their uses now that they are in power.Comment
