I wouldn't swear to it but it is my impression that the police have got much worse under NuLabour. It started with the anti terror laws and dressing the rozzers in their all black "action man" outfits and has gone downhill ever since.
Time to remind them, and hopefully our new Home Sec is doing this with her progressive ideas about locally elected DA types, that the police only police us with our consent. They are not above the law.
Well certainly the N.Wales plod are the nations motorists most hated legal gangsters of them all, strutting and driving around in their BMW's, wearing their mirrored sunglasses, black base ball caps, black t shirts, black flak jackets, black combat kecks, black jack boots, yea, a real cool friendly look to get the public right on your side ey?
No respect whatsoever, simply beacuse of their bad attitude, bad press and stories of intimidation, and bad bad uniform sense, most of which is totally uneccessary.
