‘Mish-mash’ of guidance is a recipe for disaster for UK police – lawyer

Fresh guidance for officers on changes to the rules will be issued later in the week.

The “mish-mash” of “completely unclear” new guidance and “confusing messages” from the British Government is a “recipe for disaster” for police officers there tasked with enforcing the lockdown, according to a lawyer.

Raj Chada, head of the criminal defence department and a partner at firm Hodge Jones & Allen, made the comments as he warned of the problems which having different rules for separate parts of the UK could cause as the Government unveiled changes to restrictions in England.
