You can't transplant an American system of law enforcement into the UK as any American law is framed by the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. If you just bring in such a system into the UK, you find the law in place can be far more broadly interpreted by various government agences and consiquently areas of civil liberties that would not be enfringed in the US are routinely infringed over here.
