Yes, the real danger to me here is that as you pointed out our police are now having to make arrests for very trivial and insignificant "offences" where as in the past they were allowed a reasonable amount of discretion and an application of common sense.

IMHO we are slowly creeping toward a situation were the modus of our police force is being turned from one of serving the public to one were they are used more like tools of an ever increasing "nanny knows best" authoritarian state.

LOL, the way things are headed in this country in another 20 years time we will all be walking round like labotamised sheep with all the personal freedom of a caged hamster.


Tory government anyone ?
