THE STATE OF THE POLICE

Sir Robert Peel, the founder of the British police force

 

The term ‘police state’ is thrown around casually as though we were all being truncheoned and tear-gassed on our way to work. For some, not being able to park their car, having to be reasonably quiet after the hours of darkness, or not being allowed to ride their bicycle, or skateboard, or electric scooter on the pavement (or sidewalk) is proof absolute that the police state is here.

The truth, of course, is not so much that physical policing is taking on a ruder and more arrogant manner – although that is happening - but that it is speech and, by extension, thought that is now being policed as a priority, and not those events we grew up to think of as crimes and therefore criminal. This perspective is, at last, finding its way into regular discourse, but this does not mean the physical aspect of policing does not present a new threat, at least in the United Kingdom.

There have been calls by leading police officers for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to cede their core function to rank-and-file police officers. This would mean that not only would the police have – as they do now – powers of arrest and detention of a suspect before they enter the judicial system and are possibly imprisoned, they would also take on the added power of being able to decide who is to be prosecuted by the Crown. (The legal system in Britain, in this respect as in all others, is effectively ‘federal’. Counties are not judicially autonomous as are American states).

This is being proposed, of course, as a technocratic move to ease the administrative backlog of the CPS. It is nothing of the sort. Firstly, it is the latest phase of a transfer of power from the world’s oldest-established judicial system to a bunch of corrupt, violent, arrogant, untutored and illiterate thugs and rapists, increasingly drawn from the non-white population. Check the British media if you doubt me. On a local level, this will lead to prosecution by vendetta. Say the wrong thing to a cop, and you will find evidence planted in your apartment by the same police officer who can decide whether your case should go to court. It will.

Secondly, this move would allow the technocrats to manipulate the law at ground level, and in sync with the prevailing globalist, Bezmenovite edicts. Assisted by legislation, you won’t want to be caught on video at an anti-immigration rally, or perhaps coming out of church. Again, the police may be visiting you in a way they would not if your house had merely been burgled.

Britain, and the founder of the police force, Sir Robert Peel, was effectively where policing began. Now, it may be its graveyard. It is not so much the police state that should concern the British, but the state of the police.
