I have seen the police them using them at events even over 10 years ago. Just because councils or even the police deploy a thing doesn't mean it is lawful just remember that.

this is indeed a surprised to me 👌
Still quite a big difference to what this guy is saying an event is temporary and it was the police and it was out in generally rural area.
But that tends to be the modus operandi of the state. Use questionable and freedom restricting laws in a way perhaps in a way it could be seen as valid like anti terror laws like Ripa to arrest people with bomb plots and then you end up with council goons using it to spy on people putting out bins on the wrong day.
