Really excellent summary here of the state of play in the distinctly authoritarian Britain of 2023, from
Real Media.
‘During a 13-hour ordeal, Ms Chambers said she was repeatedly questioned, subjected to physical searches, held in a cell and had her DNA, fingerprints and mugshot taken before the Met finally realised she was an innocent bystander.’
Swoop in, arrest, violate personal privacy, put biometric data in a database…then get around to asking questions 10 hours later.
And this could now happen to any of us.
