What the hell is going on? Ensuring that people do not behave irresponsibly is one thing but this is just utter madness.
The police will have an even larger chasm in public confidence to overcome after the pandemic is over. This is disgusting.
And this from a member of the public:
‘Unreal scenes yesterday , people being arrested for sitting down with a coffee, people being bullied whilst the Police hide the evidence by pushing people filming away. Why are they allowed to film for their evidence yet we are not?
Hundreds of people were on the beach yet anyone holding a banner was stopped. People playing frisbee on the beach yet we were told we “exceeded our daily exercise limit”.’
The police response:
