Theoretically, maybe (they still might need a warrant) but most will probably still be on their knees for BLM! 😳

You're not wrong about those Knees

What? Are you a cop or something? Or just an advocate for the Marxist BLM movement?

Yes. I was reading this legislation and basically what it says is, that if you are JUST SUSPECTED of being infected, the health officials have powers to detain you for maximum of 8 or 12 hours, but the state (constables) has the power to detain you and take you to specified place of assessment and screening, where they can keep you for 48 hours. In a case you refuse to be assessed or screened, they can further extend your detention for maximum of 14 days or by the time you will give your consent for your assessment and screening or until the health official says that he is no longer suspicious about you being infected. If, after those 14 days you still refusing to get assessed or screened, the health official will be advising the constables for further detention, which has to be reviewed every 24 hours, but can not be extended for longer than those initial 14 days.
In a case you have dependent children in school or at home, while you being detained, the constables have powers to remove your child to a specific place without your consent, but they have to tell you that they going to excercise this power before removing your child or after they excercised this power and removed your child in a case they won't be able to get hold of you before the exercise of this power. The child will stay in care by the time you both will be clear from this virus.
I did discussed this with a lawyer and I not misunderstood what was written there.

I think I'll close the curtains and won't answer the door. 😛

In my part of the world unless it is a very long party indeed most will have gone home a day or more ago before the police trouble themselves to investigate.

My son is a special constable of seven years and some of the situations he has encountered are quite troubling. He has responded to altercations and no back up from regular officers to busy clocking off or righting up reports.
Our local nick has no holding cells anymore and all arrests have to be escorted 30 miles away and some weekends there could only be 2-3 officers on duty in a town of 30,000 dealing with late night drunkenness drug taking dealing etc.
To think our local force can deal with lock-down infringements is laughable.
I asked my son what happens if criminal 1 calls and says there's a rave at one end of town and then proceeds to rob vandalise fire bomb at the other end of town, his silence said it all.
