Don't have to be an expert statistician to know that risk of catching it

It's stop & search all over again - now they can stop anyone they don't like the look of. "Can you tell me what essential travel you're on... by the way what's that I can smell?"

I am not fan of the police force, though I am hugely supportive of individual officers. At the moment, the force is doing a great job. IMO.

They’re damned if they do damned if they dont
if someone you know / love dies of Covid 19 and it gets worse you’ll be begging for the police and army to make people stay at home. So basically stay at ******* home

Originally posted by d000hg View PostTHis is basically what I was thinking. Round here they've found the time to drive out to tiny 2-car car-parks people in the village drive to to walk their dogs on woodland paths, and put up posters that look like they were done on a home-printer.
This was actually raised by at least 2 reporters on today's CV briefing, the topic of police being over-zealous in their interpretation. Last thing you want is a policeman being given power to decide the rules.

It really makes no sense to stop people driving a couple of miles to walk in a little used area instead of walking through a built up area to exercise in a crowded park.
