Police are coming under “more and more” political pressure to crackdown on protesters using legislation they don’t fully understand, a former chief constable has said.
“The trouble with that is, a protest needs to create some degree of disruption to have an impact and that’s where the danger arises.” In total, the Met said 64 arrests were made during the coronation for offences including breach of the peace and ‘conspiracy to cause a public nuisance.’But a senior Met officer told: “For the Home Office to claim police were not under pressure to implement the new laws is disingenuous at best.A Home Office source agreed that there had been an expectation the new laws would be used.
“But it’s difficult not to expect some teething issues with such powers when officers have only had a few days to digest them.”
