Comment on Police seize £200k Lamborghini under tightened antisocial driving laws

It’s normal language for UK laws. It’s to allow the police to stop someone doing something before they hurt someone rather than waiting until they do and then arresting them. In general we have a bit more trust in the police than the US - policing by consent rather than overwhelming force. Also why the police don’t usually carry guns.

That might have been the case before Sarah Everard but not since.

  In general. There are plenty of specific cases that strain the relationship, but I think it’s just about holding up.

    I’m astonished that you would believe that. We must run in very different circles.
