"You don't have to stop or answer any questions. If you don't and there's no other reason to suspect you, then this alone can't be used as a reason to search or arrest you."
Like the copper intimated - this will be dealt with at the station and that the guy would be late for work.
Meaning he already knows what he's doing is bullshit and is just harrassing this guy. Legal recourse is to sue for harrassment - I'll give you one guess as to how successful that is likely to be.
We are in full tyranny here in the UK, make no mistake.
Yeah that’s about what I expected. We are blessed to have zero lockdown restrictions here in New Zealand. For now. Our government is very leftist and casually authoritarian so I can see it going south very quickly if we have another wave. I would like to think our cops are more your rural boy types (at least where I live) so I don’t know how they would act if given undue power since we don’t have a constitution to refer back to.

What legal recourse does this bloke have? This makes my blood boil
