40 years ago, the British police had unbridled power and control over the treatment of detainees and suspects, and false confessions were beaten out of many ordinary citizens. They were rightly called Police Courts! In the 1980s, the government introduced a law that brought in effective checks on the powers of the police and safeguarded the treatment of detainees and suspects.
To make it effective, this law was to be superintended by a strong defence solicitor service. Many lawyers committed to upholding the rule of law and serving in local communities signed up to the Duty Solicitor scheme.
