‘Special Powers, Government Powers’: British Man Told He Can’t Be In His Own Yard

by | Apr 10, 2020

When UK police enact restrictions they (perhaps predictably) go insane.

Watch this encounter where a man in his own garden is told to get indoors or “the coronavirus will get you!”

At one point the officer even begins dictating how many times the man is able to go to the local grocery store. “I saw you carrying two bottles of pop earlier.”

Just maddening.

Of course the state never “apologizes”. Since the UK went on lockdown there’s been endless examples of such outlandish abuses.
