Posted March 26th, 2020 in coronavirus, emergency powers, enforcement, fines, freedom of movement, health, human rights, interpretation, news, police, privacy by sally

Again, it will allow a constable to “take such action as is necessary to enforce such a restriction, prohibition or closure”. But what does the phrase, “take such action as is necessary to enforce …” mean?’
