If you're going to take an aspect of UK law it would be better to take some aspects of the police training: how long they are trained, how to do de escalation, the idea of policing by consent.

(I realise UK police are far from perfect).

I think most people can see that there are levels to everything and UK police are better than a lot of places whilst still needing to improve.

Where "policing by consent" means "only policing people who won't react violently when we try and prosecute them for breaking the law".
