Well, this is quite a hard question, since every country has it's own laws, but I'll try to think of something anyway ^^. I think, where I live, the laws concerning police rights should be changed. I think policemen should have more rights as to how they handle people and what they're allowed to do.

i agree around where i live we have comunity wardens but they can only do public arrests, which anybody in england can perform i think they should be aloud more rights to perform more police like rolls such as cuffing people and mace gas if needed. Then maybe they will not be taken for a joke anymore

Exactly, take the American police as an example. I mean, not that the police should be more violent or anything, it's just that they have to get the RIGHT to be more violent, when necesarry. I mean, that's what they're police for right?!

I disagree. I don't think that the police need more rights at all. I don't believe that they are "taken for a joke". Police, in general, are getting more and more carried away with unnecessary physical measures, most notably, tasing. I understand that police need to do what they need to do in order to protect themselves and others. However, anyone in a position of authority is capable of abusing that power. Take a look at the Stanford Prison Experiment. http://www.prisonexp.org/ There always needs to be checks and balances. If a certain person or group is given too much power, bad things happen.

I would my county change the law to allow strip dancers to dance close to the customers. Because the strip clubs business is so restricted in my area, and those strip clubs won't make much money. For adults to seek better entertainment, people have to get out of our local county to other county where the law is less restrictive.
