BBC upto theirt usual stirring tactics
Read the topic of this questionnaire. Then read through the questions and read between the lines for a perfect example of the BBC's usual tactic of "suggestive questioning".
It couldn't be more obvious.

Why they do this I don't know.
They are as bad as The Sun sometimes.

The police don't make the laws.
Also Question 5:
You always see in the New Year with a fireworks display. But the new fireworks laws include a curfew - does that mean you will have to cancel?
What does that have to do with the police? Stirring an anti-police society as per usual.
PS I don't like the police
but I also don't like trying to lead people a certain way into forming an opinion.

The Police don't make the laws, but they have to enforce them. If someone complains about a curfew being broken, then it'll inevitably involve the Police in some form or other.

Can't see anything wrong with it myself. The only subtext I can see to it is illustrating the extent to which our civil liberties have been limited by recent laws.
Or maybe that's what you meant?

"Recent years have seen a raft of new laws on everything from anti-social behaviour to the collection of DNA samples and the introduction of community support officers. Take our quiz - and find out how well you know your rights. "
I don;t believe they are stirring anti-police society, more pointing out the limitations on our rights!
