[Ghoulish Delight]

I find it unsurprising, and particularly damning, that the very first use of this dubious policy was disaterous. It's so vague, requires so many assumptions, and leaves the possibility of this kind of error wide open. I don't know British law well enough to know if they have the same concept, but if they tried to implement the same thing here, it seems to me it would come into conflict with the principle of "innocent until proven guilty". It gives officers the right to execute based on purely circumstantial evidence.

I am very hesitant to give officers power to pass judgement for the sake of "safety". This policy is more than a slipery slope, it's a huge leap, and unless it's ammended to be MUCH more restrictive and finite than it is, I expect this kind of innocent death to be the norm, not the exception. It's too susceptible to human error as-is.
