I’ve had the police use Anti Terrorist laws to stop and search me.
A young, white, middle class british male with a animal backpack. The yellow form the gave to me stated they were searching for firearms and explosives; they confiscated my cider and threatened to knick me for being rude.
The british police are using laws brought in for apparent serious public safety to survey and intimidate normal people. My sister, who is under 16 had the law used to search her bag. We are slowly losing all our civil liberties.
When I got beaten up, quite badly the police did sweet FA, even though they had two patrol cars in the area and even stopped and spoke to the guys earlier they said they didn’t have sufficient evidence to do anything. They guys were from a well know rough family. All faith lost and don’t even talk to about PCSOs.
Do they know it is illegal to impersonate a police man?
