Rule of Law...

Referring to his textbook, Clarke said his pre-
dictions of government using "every retrogressive,
downward and backward step" on changes to
police privileges have rung true.

The loss of trust in police was heightened by new
regulations on stop and search procedures,
entering premises without warrants, body
searches, holding suspects without legal advise,
and what can be used as admissible evidence in

a court of law.

One of the final straws, in terms of public trust
of the police, was in the use of a "cavalry charge"
in quelling the miners' strike of 1984 and 1985,

he said.

"To watch a row of police, and this is no exagger-
ation, riding down and clubbing a line of workers
who are running away, is not something the
British public wants to see."

"The people were terrorized by an army of
occupation. A balance has to be struck and I
don't believe it is a job for them (the police),"
Clarke said.

Without offering any solutions to the problems of
the rule of law, Clarke said similar distrust of
police forces is beginning to happen in both
Canada and the United States.

"The consequences will outlive the terms of
office of the new right,” he said.
