The Crime and Policing Bill 2025

Where exactly would an electric hedge trimmer fit within the new legislation?

Depends if it’s battery powered.
As for a petrol chainsaw?

From experience, don't ever let the police in your house without a warrant, not even when they are purporting to be doing you a service.

If you allow one in, others may follow and that becomes uncontrollable.
Am not sure if once allowed in can you ask they remain in the one room or can you easily revoke the access?
There is no need to touch the forelock to anyone regardless of how impressive their hat might be. No need to be disrespectful either for that matter.
