Police will harass yobs in new plan to tackle antisocial behaviour

Police will harass yobs in new plan to tackle antisocial behaviour

"Thousands of yobs are to be photographed and videoed in big-brother style police operations to tackle persistent antisocial behaviour, the Home Secretary announced today.

Suspects will be “harassed” by officers visiting them day and night and issued with repeated warnings about their behaviour under the drive to deal with a hard core of offenders who persist with yobbish behaviour on estates
".

I'm sorry, but isn't anti-social behaviour by the police unacceptable? And, isn't harassment against the law? So, the police intend to break the law to uphold the law? Wouldn't that make them no better than the alleged offenders? I remember when prison officers thought they were above the law...
