The UK Home Secretary today indicated she backed police officers checking cars and quizzing people sitting on park benches under some circumstances as they enforce new lockdown measures in England.

Police forces, including the Met Police, have said they are taking a stricter approach to enforcing the tougher CCP virus curbs as England entered a third national lockdown.
