No, i remember "Police Brutality" in the '50s, when DS Sargeson dished out his own form of justice.
But, it did start to get worse with all the Liberal do-gooders, and the EU and the Civil Rights movement - what is food for the goose is also food for the gander.
Police powers have been severely restricted, therefore we have the rise in crime - or let us say law breaking. You can be arrested for obscene language directed at a PC but how often do you hear it around town and everyone ignores it.
How sad that so many of today's generations cannot express themselves without the use of obscene or profane language. The justice system needs to re-assess itself.
Give the police the powers back, build more prisons - remote islands off Scotland spring to mind, re-instate Borstals - protect the law abiding citizens and punish the guilty - real punishment, such as hard labour, breaking rocks into smaller rocks, digging big holes and then filling them in again.
