... so I foresee people grown in farms and plugged in. Kinda reminds me of something.

>Wiktionary probably isn’t the most useful source of information here.

Okay but neither was the original parent.

From their link:

>Bailiffs are allowed to force their way into your home to collect unpaid criminal fines, Income Tax or Stamp Duty, but only as a last resort.

> If you do not let a bailiff in or agree to pay them:

> - they could take things from outside your home, for example your car > - you could end up owing even more money

That sounds like law enforcement powers.

It sounds like the difference is:

> If they are presenting themselves as police officers then it is very much to their advantage to do so, as people are much more likely to let them into their home, and generally to do what they’re told.

Which would have been nice to be told in the original comment so I couldn't figure out what subtlety distinguishes bailiffs from police officers.

Wiktionary probably isn’t the most useful source of information here.

Bailiffs in the UK do not have ‘law enforcement’ powers in any meaningful sense. Specifically, they do not have powers of arrest and their powers to enter homes are very, very constrained. Except in very limited circumstances, and as a last resort, they cannot use force to enter your home and you don’t have to let them in.

If they are presenting themselves as police officers then it is very much to their advantage to do so, as people are much more likely to let them into their home, and generally to do what they’re told.

I don't condone it, but I get it.

Allow me...

"Thanks Jim, now for the news...

Yesterday we seen every single person's face on the internet replaced with Pepe the Frog with the caption Stirring is for Chads, and apparently it has something to do with corned beef being approved? We'll report back when we know more."

The French tried that.

Narcissists do be like that

Okay, sorry, I'm still lost here (USA), even after reading those links and the articles. From wiktionary, the UK meanings of bailiffs still show that they have law enforcement powers.

I don't understand what would make them more scary if perceived as "police officers" and what rights they could falsely dupe someone into believing, as police officers, that they would not be able to if correctly perceived as bailiffs.

Can you explain that part?

Edit: Like, from me, this reads as, "Drug Enforcement Agency agents impersonating FBI agents to confiscate drugs." Like, what? The agents have the same powers, and they'd be able to seize drugs as DEA already.

Yep, I honestly don’t see the problem here, and I’m a guy.

I always questioned why nobody changed the time and date system along with the metric system.

Neat, horrors beyond my comprehension.

Holy shit.

Cop gets a medal for murdering someone that was afraid of police murdering him. Irony isn't even remotely a strong enough word.
