  Excessive force? Plod have (unfortunately) turned into a load of softie leftie social workers spending half their time telling tales on the each other! Personally I blame the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE).
  
  I still reminisce occasionally with colleagues from a previous employment when we were out and about with the Met trying to get them to at least try ringing the doorbell before knocking down the door. (They thought that since they were working for a different enforcement authority they had a Carte Blanche).
  
  Much prefer the French way. No-one buggers around with the CRS. And I've also had some interesting times out with the Dutch Marechausee!
  
  I also remember seeing someone undergoing a quick 'stop and search' in Paris. He did at runner. They shot him. Last I saw he was holding his arm with blood covering his fingers as he tried to stop the bleeding while awaiting the ambulance. The gendarme had his notebook out and was still questioning him!
  
  Happy days.
