This makes me sick justifying these actions isn't ok in my book the police should still abide by PACE and the law they are not above it and it will never be justified they still need a reason to stop last time I looked and doing things for the inconvenience of any member of the public(no matter how bad, THEY THINK they are) is totally unlawful and any officer doing his should be sacked & if possible face criminal charges, totally out of order, if they want to stop poaching they sould operate within the law, not their interpretation of it when it suits them, we all moan about it when firearmsdepartments do it so what hypocrites that would make us if we condoned this action whatever the reason it's one rule for all or none & the laws poly to all.
Rant over, but police abuse of any kind makes my blood boil. And dose thm no good.
