I think the Cressida Dick is wrong to say that most people understand the rules. I made this video to help people understand the lockdown laws so they can follow them, but it’s not straightforward
Cressida Dick told Radio 4 that some people are outside without an “essential” reason. The legal requirement is a “reasonable excuse”. Just goes to show how misunderstood the rules are, contrary to her basic point!
But overall her points were fair - the vast majority of people are complying and the police don’t need extra powers especially a power of entry.
She thinks protest is banned. I’m not so sure.
The part of interview discussing law (enforceable) and guidance (not enforceable) must have been so confusing for people listening just wanting to know what they should do. The divergence between the two creates confusion. Dick also right to say law has changed “countless” times
