Criminal lawyer Steve Cullen says these changes make sense, given the wave of shoplifting impacting the country. "It's simply regulating people's behaviour. You have a defence of saying - no,

Well, it now transpires that the police are allowing a documentary to be made about Tom Phillips and their hunt for him. It's being made by Julie Christie, who’s produced lots of great television in the past, particularly reality TV. There are camera crews following police officers and being given access - if you want to call it that - behind the scenes, the kind of access that the average media crew can't get. Now, personally, I think this documentary needs to be killed off immediately. I do not
