Spell it out...

It's not just about parks either. Being told you can only buy essentials and being fined for buying wine and crisps is completely bonkers.
If the shop is allowed to be open, you should be able to buy anything it sells.

I repeat, I'm not being a drama queen, we need to stop this insidious creeping towards a police state.

Modern Britain, where everything is policed except crime.
 
Well, since before this situation we are in now, but since the lockdown it has got a whole lot worse.

Faculty, which had a pre-existing contract to build an artificial intelligence lab for the NHS, took on a leading role in the data response to the pandemic. It is run by Marc Warner, whose brother, Ben, was reportedly recruited to Downing Street by Cummings after running the Conservative party’s private election model.

Ben Warner, who used to be a principal at his brother’s AI company, is said to have worked closely with Cummings on the modelling programme used in the Vote Leave campaign to leave the European Union. Faculty’s lawyers said its NHS contract was the result of a tender process that was not influenced by Cummings.

Cummings hands all over this. I'm out.
 
Police always complain about being short-staffed, but they seem to turn up in numbers for unnecessary stuff.

They seem to have the budget for that.

I don't know what their intention is, do you?

As for take-over, I'm quite sure those who created the Coronovirus Regulations did not intend what is happening because they carefully worded the regs to be unambiguous.

It didn't help, however that BoJo's speech mentioned a load of stuff not in the regs that the police took to be "law".

But, notwithstanding that, the police should have studied the regs properly instead of rushing out ill-equipped with knowledge.
 
Surely the individual police officers are only doing what they are told to do.

They don't just wake up in the morning and think "I shall patrol the park today and then the supermarkets"
 
They may be told where to patrol, but I'm talking about them having their own interpretation of the regs.
Even in the same area I have seen people treated differently.

A lot of people applaud common sense.

What happens when this police state of yours becomes complete? What do you think the rozzers are going to do with us?
 

I quite like your man's videos because he tries his best to understand the Law with a good dose of suspicion. Sadly he's wrong on two parts. The amendment clearly closes a loophole that would require the officer catch you in the act of leaving.

On the subject of being silent. Its a good defence, but the person would have been best to deny they were breaking the rules.
