Police have been accused of overreaching their powers in the wake of new coronavirus legislation

"By referring to 'summonses', they appear to be suggesting they will be dragging people into criminal court for this," he said.

"These measures were brought in to protect civilians and they should certainly be used as a far as is reasonable and proportionate. "This kind of thing is contributing to this dystopian sense of society where we risk adding significant mental health concerns on top of the existing fears around our physical health.

They didn’t have the resources to investigate crime or grooming gangs but they sure can stop you buying an Easter egg

Cops are doing their job If these clowns followed the rules they wouldn’t get fined. They are lucky, in China they would be in a dungeon now locked away for ever !!!!!!!

Not far enough

Still, how difficult is to fucking stay home!

What is failed to be reported is the people who think they can carry on doing what they want. Police are doing the job they too are at risk of getting this virus. Stay home do the right thing. Maybe journalists could report better. You all seem to delight in knocking our police.

Rubbish. If people cannot abide by the advice then they should be spoken to harshly.

No, the press, and a few idiots are accusing them. More Liberal and negative reporting I support the police.. And I'm sure most people do. It's the press that should be held to account after all this.

Absolutely true. U never normally see them on the streets but now they out there telling u not to walk ur dog. Walking a dog is essential for the dog ffs. They really r not very bright these days🙄

We live in a harsh time & the rules really need to be adhered to by us all but honestly I chuckled & was reminded of Constable Savage when I saw this post...

I will support the police in this. If people are so stupid to flaunt the restrictions they deserve everything they get. This is a deadly virus not something to be joked about with. If people wish to put lives at risk they should expect the full force of the law.

calciatore It's difficult because people are allowed to go shopping, people are allowed to exercise, people are allowed to move between to homes in connection with shared custody providing neither household has symptoms. How are the police to know where people are going.

We can't have it all our own way tell people to stay at home & tell them this is being reinforced there is up raw about it when it is?! You can't have it both ways & people shouldn't be putting the police in this situation because they should StayTheFHome BorisJohnson

You know what..The police should just stop then..just stop and let every mumping moaning idiot just crack on!!

Yeah.i also support what police are doing over there?

If the police dont do it, then the virus spreads. This virus is very serious. So stop having a go at the police in this instance. This is not a holiday for people to go and do what they want. This has to be zero tolerance in social distancing and staying at home. Unbelievable.

🤔... All sound like a suitable pulls to me! 😏 people will find any reason they can to escape the house. They need to be strict, otherwise the sacrifice most are making is pointless 🤷🏻‍♂️ StayAtHome ➡️🏠⬅️

They are looking out for us and there will naturally be teething problems when giving authority this far reaching whej it’s been put in place so quickly.

Just police being police nowt new

Only rule breakers think so

People complying about no enforcement and now complaining about enforcement. You have it both ways. If they’re breaking rules they have to suffer the consequences. That’s how enforcement works. Compliance is key to success. Obey the rules.

Lets put this one to everyone, if this was a WAR with a country and threats of raids and bombs and everyone was told to stop in and black out windows, would sky news still be pulling the police and goverment apart? This is an invisible war and you do what you can to save lives.

Police doing their job !

My god are we become such a soft country where this is being described as massive police overreach and a dystopia/police state? Have these “commentators” seen the clips of the Indian, Italian and French Police? Come on get a grip StayHomeSaveLives softcunts

English police is to soft anyway. Has anybody seen Indian or Chinese police punishing people for the same offence

People should be made an example of, the select few always spoil it for everyone else. Definitely siding with the police. Give them life if they spread coronavirus that ends up killing someone else 👍🏻

people are flouting the rules and endangering others they should be put in detention for 12 weeks so they're not a risk to others

Police are doing great job daily Dealing with the parasites of society could do with a bit of support from you people

The latest figures show that social distancing might actually work. Could be a blip. But the quicker we toe the line the quicker we can go back to the pub 😉

The police I'm sure are not over reaching their powers, but I'm sure that there are a few whinging bastards who will hate being actually spoken to by police for actually doing their job.

Oh and while I’m on a rant, a local copper has told the local garage (Whitby)to stop car wash and jet wash because they’re not essential, what a total prick ,when this is over he needs a good bollocking abusing his position

Police abusing their powers.....? What a surprise!!!! I’m really shocked at this as normally that’s not something they would do!!!

Oh poo hoo I got charged for breaking the law, so lets blame the police and not ourselves for breaking the law. Imagine your loved one dies of coronavirus because of an idiot who decided to go out for no reason.
