Police now an enforcement arm for the government agenda.

What should a Constable be?

How far do their powers actually go? Common Law powers. Centuries of legal precedent. Keep the peace. Protect the public. Discretion. Guided by law. Not obligd to follow illegal orders. Answerable to the law, not political or administrative control (R vs Blackburn 1968)

Oath of Office - uphold the law impartially, independent officers of the law. The part about Serve The Crown is a thought.

Ed. - The Crown might be the sticking point - if the Crown has given up on the Law, which appears to be the case.
