The police are not the police as we knew them this is obvious, they look more like military and thats because they are. They are enforcement officers of the legal system, the PCSO is more like the old Bobby on the beat, no real powers just avin a word and cautioning people etc.. The "legal" police are just handing out fines for acts of parliament and my fear is that they would really do amything if its "legal". I mean if the government said that it is legal to shoot someone on sight if they have escaped quarantine, then that is what they will do even though killing someone is a criminal offense. I think we really are in this matrix we cannot see feel or touch but we know its all around us, the police have got to be removed from enforcing acts f parliamemt or we don't stand a chance.

UK Police Boss Claims Officers Now Afraid to Arrest People for ‘Fear of Catching Covid’ – Fear of catching sanity would be more to the point

It seems that the ever-changing government regulations and institutional hypochondria have finally converged to create total dysfunction among the ranks of the country’s police forces.
According to a new report by the The Telegraph, UK Police are no longer comfortable enforcing Westminster’s constantly evolving COVID rules, including those which compel police to break-up groups of people who are socialising outdoors.
The new revelation comes as authorities and government behavioural scientists begin to ‘lose control’ over the public following this week’s stint of warm and sunny weather – as people head outside to enjoy the parks, beaches and footpaths of Britain.
With just a week to go before the scheduled beginning of relaxation of Boris Johnson’s latest draconian lockdown, police officers are now clearly struggling to enforce the government’s intricate rule sets.
Officially speaking, for the first time since the lockdown began, two people can now meet in an “outdoor public space” for recreational purposes that include a coffee, drink or picnic – even though many have already been doing this despite government threats. According to government officials, this ‘freedom’ is to be extended further from March 29th, where the state will ‘allow’ six people – or ‘two households’ – to meet and gather outdoors or in their back gardens.
But according to Ken Marsh, Chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, his members have no desire to carry out ‘the law to the letter.’
“Police don’t want to police this,” he said. “We have had enough of this. It is not policeable. It is not manageable.”

UK Police Chief Brags That ‘COVID’ Patrols Aren’t Necessary Because There Are So Many Snitches

A police chief in the UK says his force doesn’t need to carry out COVID patrols because they are getting flooded with so many calls from the public reporting other people for visiting the beach.
Overnight stays in locations other than a person’s primary address are not permitted until April 12, but a recent mini-heat wave prompted crowds of beachgoers to enjoy some rare March sunshine, as well as others who made trips to visit second homes.
This didn’t go down well in Dorset, where locals took the opportunity to grass people up to the authorities for allegedly violating lockdown rules.
In fact, the snitches were so enthusiastic that according to James Vaughan, the chief constable of Dorset Police, they’re now basically acting as an auxiliary arm of the cops.
“We are still getting around 400 reports a week from the public, so we will respond to reports,” said Vaughan. “We won’t need to be doing hotspot patrols [around holiday parks] because people are very quick to pick the phone up and tell us.”
“So if people try and come down and stay in their second homes before April 12, then we are going to hear about it,” he added.
Vaughan acknowledged that it’s not even illegal for people to visit their second homes, but suggested police may investigate it anyway.
He then encouraged locals to keep reporting others, telling the Telegraph, “It is how policing works in Dorset. We rely on the public to give us information and intelligence.”
