The other point most people are missing here also is that the police have been trying to get out of policing football for quite a while now and they will continue to dwindle in numbers especially in the ground as SIA approved stewards become commonplace. The police like everybody else are looking at ways to cut their bills and policing at football games has come under scrutiny. The police have basically handed over almost all in house stuff back to the clubs. Most first and second division games have a token police presence and low risk premier games will follow. So stop being paranoid thinking big brother is following Motherwell fans around checking on their behaviour as the funding and resources just aren't available anymore to the police to enforce any law brought in, if anything police resources will continue to dwindle.
The Police are struggling with current demand re new laws, legislation and special initiatives being launched on a weekly basis by MPs wanting their names in the headlines without a whole host of new laws to enforce as seems to be the norm with the Scottish Parliament.
