In this unit I learned many things about the law, for example this:

The most famous police station in Britain is New Scotland Yard in London, but there are police stations all over the country. They've all got a blue light outside to show they are police stations. For most people the police are the face of the law. They can arrest people in the street, buy they also give information.
We visited a new police station in Lweisham, an area in south-east London. A suspected criminal bing charged wit a crime. Next the take fingerprints to check the person's identity. The machine scans fingerprints electronically and compares them with the national police database. They also take mouth swabs for analysis of DNA. Then the suspect spent a whole night in the cells.

Next day he went to court. Here 3 magistates listen to evidence from the police and witnesses. They decided if the person is guiltu or not guilty.
