One of the reasons we left England sooooo many years ago. Police work for the people, not visa-versa. We also retain the right to remain armed so the govt can't force us into being servants of the govt. OUr current govt is getting very close to teh edge on rules of freedom, but the next election should finish culling the major offenders.
All that being said- I also tell my kids to use a little common sense when they post anything online.
