Bible prophecy:And good will be called evil,and evil,good.
> At one time Englishmen were expected to “raise a hue and cry”against thieves and other criminals.
That concept-in-law is called “posse commitatus” — not to be confused with your “Posse Commitatus Law” that prevents your military from policing within the US.
Posse commitatus allows the lord of the manor to raise a hue-and-cry (”posse”) against thieves and other criminals. Its origins is the Magna Carta. And it is still on British law books as a perfectly-good law. I believe that it also applies in New Zealand where I live as it does not appear to be repealed.
