LOL! The cops probably get nervous in James Freeman's presence, because they probably think he's somehow connected with their Internal Affairs Division and, at the end of the day, they know that they themselves don't have squeeky clean slates as officers of the law.
Any who seek power over others are the last people you want to give power to, imo.
Cops should be licensed, bonded, insured private contractors, and subject to strict liability just like any other worker.
Or, disarmed.
I vaguely recall as a little kid that at one point in time, British police officers were not allowed to carry guns, but rather they were only allowed to carry billy clubs or nightsticks during their police duties.
It's still that way, just they have armed patrols now, too.
They are special units, but the bobbies, afaik, are still night stick and kick your ass if you act out.
They don't hand out time like they do over here, though.
Yeah, I know that the criminal courts over in the United Kingdom are not as harsh on defendants as they are here in the United States. Then again, British judges are not as tolerant to prosecutorial misconduct as American judges are. British judges also let all parties have their equal say in a criminal trial, whereas American judges may slant their actions in favor of the prosecution and there are no consequences for them if they do so. That is why our prison system here in the United States is overcrowded and overwhelmed with serious problems, and the powers that be of the prison-industrial complex don't care as long as they're making their money off of other people's misery.
