The police are loving this, they don't have to do any work and covering up pedophille gangs and destroying victims satements can wait, they been given free hand to be do what they like, DO NOT TRUST THEM. how do we know if they have the virus or not.
It’s frightening how easily we could slip into becoming a police state.
What danger does driving pose? coronavirus Covid_19
All police forces should be doing it
No punishment
It should read Non-essential check points.
Halt 🤚your papers bitte
Do tell us how police intends to prove non-essential travel! Every person they stop will tell them they are out to buy food, medicine or some such thing. Do they intend to follow each person to destination just to be sure? 😏

Put the army on checkpoints. They know how to handle this sort of issue.
