Private policemen / secret policeman / council policeman
Interesting to see the council are giving it's employees the right to act as policeman, will the same checks and balances be implemented, will council employees be answerable to the police complaints authority or will they be like our traffic wardens answerable to no one. If you allow a council policeman into your home will he like a proper policeman have the power to snoop/ search your home. What will their powers be, who will they answer to, is their any difference between this plan and the practices of the old Soviet Union, China or any other dictatorship that uses governmental or local councils to spy on their citizens. Non of these issues have been disused with or approved by me or any one I know, nobody as far as I know has been consulted and no behaviour policy been agreed. The council aren't paying for this we the taxpayers are yet we are being given now say and no safeguards!!
