There isn't a chance in hell of that happening.
The Goverment need to give police back powers they should have already.
There was a day when the police were respected by a good percentage of the country, and that wasn't too long ago.
Nowadays it's the complete opposite, people have no respect for the police because they have no faith in the police.
Why?
Because the stupid goverment have put procedures in places that means that the offender has more rights than the victim.
There was a time if you caught someone doing something seriously wrong and intervened you would get a pat on the back from the police.
These days you would probably be the one charged.
And this is what's called human rights?
To get human rights you should 1st need to act like a civil human being. If you go onto someones property and try to steal something of theirs you should forfeit all your Human Rights because that is not the way a civil human being acts.
Bring back the Bobbies on the beat in their 1000's and give them powers and resources that they can use.
Compulsory National Service should be brought back too, but thats another story!!!
Very good point, very well put, and I agree 100%. The majority of coppers want to do more, but who would if they were going to get charged/sued/assaulted?
