I don't have to admit anything; you seem to forget I do have some personal experience with counterterrorist incidents, and have knowledge of what the Police get up to. When I say "think wider", I mean realise the efforts and machinations that do go on, and have to go on in all Forces. Don't try and conflate the governance of this country, which is the purview of BlairBrown, etc., with the Police service's responsibility of guard, watch and patrol.
Oh, and don't try and do the "you're just a civilian thing". We're all civilians; in my case the lack of powers under the Police (Scotland) Act is irrelevant.
Use of section 44 still has to be proportionate...
