A group split up and sent home, good policing.
Not sure about telling cyclists, who regularly go out on twenty mile rides to stay near to their homes and using drones to track motorists.

Group of children in our village were split up yesterday and sent home apparently. They were saying they’d report parents for neglect if their kids were found not following isolation rules..... one chance maybe but parents shouldn’t let their kids ‘exercise’ on their own unless they’re sure they won’t meet up with their mates....

If my local Tesco's in Ellesmere is no longer selling crumpets, but Morrison's in Oswestry is, would the over zealous West Mercia police pull me over and issue me with a ticket because I'm not driving to my nearest store? You'd think not, but I'm not so sure. They'd probably say that my local store has the basic necessities. I guess lawyers will have to interpret what is meant by 'basic necessities'. Probably a crumpet isn't, but I don't see anything in the regulations restricting me as to how far I can drive to buy food. The initial guidelines did not advise if, or how far, people could travel in order to exercise, and while the new advice does go further, it does not explicitly define what counts as "local", and whether or not people can use cars, nor does it state how far people can drive to shop for basic necessities. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52062209

it makes sense though, there are still idiots who will be packing up the car for a day trip thinking they will be fine and the police wont stop them, but now might get deterred if they sense eyes on them from twitching curtains the more that stay at home the more that stay alive, the sooner this is over ideally we need detention centres where those caught flaunting the rules are sent , it would make total idiots think twice

Good idea. It's pointless threatening jail terms, as we are emptying the prisons at the moment because of coronavirus. Plus the Legal System has more or less ground to a halt with virtually no jury trials.

So getting back to the question that was originally asked - guessing no one on here or anyone we know well has been stopped?

Words fail me. We should be supporting the police at this time but that is just plain stupidity.

Hey Northwestern.. how about you sign up as a volunteer special constable and risk covid 19 every time you step out of the house to look after the public like the police and emergency workers are doing every day of the week. There’s always someone like you who wants to have a dig or suggest powers are over used from the comfort of their own home. a bit of common sense and sticking with the restrictions isn’t too much to ask is it.. however no doubt you will come back with some cocky or sarcastic know it all response.

Just increase the on the spot fine to £10,000 an enforce it.

There are other ways of dealing with offences without clogging up the courts.
I see a lady was caught giving a man oral sex in the back of a car at a local beauty spot.
The police made the woman subject of a gagging order.
