Only a third?



A third of Britons think the police have gone too far in their lockdown crackdown across the UK, a new survey suggests.

While nearly half of the public support the force's approach to implementing coronavirus lockdown rules such as social distancing measures, a third believe their handling has been too strict.

A YouGov poll commissioned by crime and justice consultancy Crest Advisory asked 1,646 adults between Friday and Sunday for their thoughts on how they view the police handling of the new laws and Government guidance to keep people indoors and protect against the spread of Covid-19.

When people fear death or uncontrollable situations, they tolerate Nazis. We're all Germans now.

You are a copper, with a nice car.
Would you prefer to drive somewhere nice and deal with nice people
Or
Drive into inner city ghetto and deal with that area's normal people?I
Remember one option will annoy nice people, but the other option is hazardous and at best will get you called racist and fill-in-the-blank phobic.
Either way you will find that your boss will not back you up. She, cos it will be a she, wants a quiet life and elevation to Damehood and the QUANGOcracy after retiring at 50. With full minded linked pension.

Wonder why?

The other two-thirds think Plod should be disbanded.

Sam - it's an interesting point, do we really fear death and uncontrollable situations or is it more to do with obedience? Both maybe, but which predominates I wonder.

Doonhamer - unfortunately that seems to be it.

Scrobs - and Peak District beauty spots.

James - seems high.
