I guess the cops "feared for their lives" from a wedding party. That's the usual excuse they give.\nYou notice the cops were under cover and the car was unmarked.\nUndercover cops also broke into a 93 year old woman's house last week and killed her when she started shooting at them.\nWhen you're not wearing a uniform or a badge, what do cops think people are going to do when their door is broken down and they barge into someone's house???

Yes, the police can enter without consent if they believe a crime has been or is being committed. Underage drinking is a crime.

If you're smart, you'll keep guns out of your society. Or, you will have incidents like Columbine, bank heist in LA, employees going postal, etc. England has thrived for over 200 years without them, why change it?

No, you dont have to call the police! Cops are stupid anyway and probably wouldnt be able to solve the crime, no matter how hard they tried! You remind me of Inspector Gadget with that hat on, he could solve ANYTHING! Hey, you may even be able to collect a reward! Good luck!

Actually no.  Police training equips patrol officers how to properly handle and anticipate road traffic.  The accident rate hasn't spiked to any noticable amount since this type of proceedure has been ratified.  Police officers will even push other cars and vehicles off the road if they don't move.  So no, i don't believe so.

i agree totally - How many police are there in any provincial town cenre on a friday night breaking up fights outside Wetherspoons (or any other pub chain - i'm not getting at them specifically)... Now go to the edge-of-town club (Or Garlands/G-Bar/Cream in Liverpool) and see the people hugging (teehee) and the distinct lack of police presence. here's no need for the police there!!!... Also - look up a book called Cannabis Britannia (can't remember the author) - you may be interested to learn that the UK government, during Indian Imperial Rule, made a vast amount of money from the Cannabis trade - it was Chinese and US pressure that caused the legislation against it. \n\nOh and on the issue of 'gateway' drugs. Rubbish. There is absolutely no Empirical connection between recreation drug use and hard drug addiction (Heroine etc).

Miranda is based on a case law - Miranda v. Arizona - and established the necessity for the police to advise a person of their rights when they are both (1) in custody abd (2) being questioned.  It applies across the country, though the exact wording does vary from place to place, state to state, etc.\n\nThe police do not have to advise you of these rights unless the two above conditions are met.\n\nSo, if the police question you and you are not in custody, the police do not have to give you your rights.  If you are in custody and not being questioned, the police do not have to give you your rights.\n\nMiranda also does not apply under certain special circumstances such as when public safety could be jeopardized if you are not immediately questioned (i.e., you may have discarded a loaded gun in a public place and finding it will ensure public safety).

1 - How do you know they are illegal immigrants? You'd need evidence before the police took you seriously. Perhaps they are foreign students? I wouldn't try a citizens arrest in this case.\n2 - Americans, there is no INS in England, and most Brits don't carry guns, "shoot there brains out" is not a helpful answer, nor grammatically correct.\n3 - You can find details about illegal workers here: http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/ind/en/home/0/preventing_illegal.html\n4 - Or call your local police station (Kent police 01622 690690)

No. Officers use what is referred to as the +1 (Plus One) Force Continuum. That means that whatever level of force a suspect is using, the officer can go one step above that to contain the situation or make the arrest.\n\nIf a suspect is yelling, shouting, cursing, etc., the officer can use physical force to restrain the suspect with his hands and handcuffs. If the suspect attempts to physically resist by fighting, pushing, running, etc., the officer can go up to the next level of force by using non-lethal weapons, such as batons, mace/pepper spray, taser, etc. If the suspect is using any object as a weapon to attack the officer, like a stick, bat, pipe, etc., then the officer is allowed to use deadly force. If the suspect is using a real weapon, like a gun or knife, then the officer is still using deadly force, because there is no step up from that.\n\nAs an extra note, an officer can only truly use deadly force if they can articulate that at that moment, they feel that the suspect has the ability (he's got a weapon) and opportunity (he's right in front of me) to kill the officer or some other person, and there is jeopardy (this guy's gonna kill me!). But if you put an average adult in front of me with a pipe, who's running at me and yelling, "F*** the police!" (it's happened), that fits the +1 level of force and I can articulate that my life was in imminent danger. Deadly force is justified.

As long as the guns aren't stolen. But if you use them to murder police officers, they won't be living long.

Police gone wild? Yes.\n\nWhen relaxed rules defining what constitutes justification of the use of lethal force are combined with shoot to kill policies (and policies that differ from the law are illegal no matter who's they are) you get trial by allegation and execution of sentence is instantaneous.\n\nThat is unamerican.

Canadian police carry guns, sometimes tasers. Special constables, who patrol public places don't.

No. They are police property.
