What is meant by “Policing by consent?”
The thing Robert Peel tried to invent
Is it merely policing in the Crown’s name
Or upholding the laws the people proclaim?
Public opinion gives its consent
It’s not up to the individual their opinions to vent
The law is the law
And all should be treated the same
If you disagree, you might well in gaol remain
Padre
Until they use the law to unlawful imprison people in their homes and kill their businesses it’s worth upholding anyway.
