Question About the British Legal System?

I believe a warrant is necessary but that's just a piece of paper and doesn't make for exciting television. The warrant allows the police entry to the property regardless of whether anyone is home or not. I know they do this to cut of utilities if someone hasn't paid so it wouldn't surprise me if the system works the same for suspects of crime - the warrant would be granted on the ground the person was suspected or that criminal acts were taking place at the property. If someone was home they'd show the warrant, obviously.

British law is a bit strange - if the police think you look suspicious they can just stop and search you without any other grounds. From the documentaries I've watched, "suspicious" is shoving your hands deeper into your pockets when you spot a police car. Go figure!

I am Irish and you probably know we all dont see eye to eye with the British. but as I see it they do what ever the hell they like.

Now what is the point of getting a warrant to look in someones house when you dont know if there is any evidence there. Better to be sure leave no doubt and then get a warrant. If this results in the arrest ,Conviction and punishment of a pedophile then cool. if not then it is an invasion of privacy just cant prove anything.

I disagree that the equipment would not artwork. maximum of your claims are comments, no longer something extra, and have no real foundation different than that. Crime is rife: meaning what, that there are criminals? definite, and there continually have been. Crime quotes have dropped somewhat continuously in the time of the previous few many years. protection compromised? meaning what? Reoffending the norm: properly, it continually replaced into elementary. maximum criminals quotes flow to recurring criminals, continually has. A small proportion of the inhabitants in ANY society does a great variety of the wrongdoing. Prisons finished? definite, and your ingredient? i would not prefer the government to construct prisons extra desirable than needed, that's maximum effectual to maintain them close to potential. something is purely words, without foundation in something,

There is no easy answer to this question, because the answer varies, according to cases.

Like most people, the police are under the cosh, to produce results. Sometimes, the end justifies the means.!!!
