That's not only irrelevant to the discussion, WW2 ended 80 years ago. Anyone who was a Nazi or collaborated is well over 90.

Effects of this are felt today - policing of the population is worse in the countries that were either Nazi occupied or communist compared to the UK.

My point was that measures like this destroy this 'advantage'. (I don't know if advantage is the right word but I can't come up with a better one)

I don't think policing in The Netherlands, Denmark or even Germany is bad.

First, I don't think politicians care about this 'advantage'. Second, policing is necessary, and with changing conditions, the means for policing change. There's always tension between individual freedom and security/safety. But I agree that this is not a great move.
