Also, afaik, the UK does not have “qualified immunity” like the US (which, I should add, is a categorically idiotic judicial precedent).
It’s only a stupid judicial precedent if you assume the police are there to enforce the law and help people.
Ideally, they should be. But yes, I am also aware of the genesis of police forces in modern society.
