The police in London have expressed regret about some of the dozens of protesters they detained on the sidelines of King Charles III's coronation on Saturday, fueling a national debate about the policing of the event and about the new anti-protest law that officers used in some arrests.The law, called the Public Order Act 2023, came into effect days before the coronation, giving the police in England and Wales extended powers to detain and charge those they suspect of mounting or of preparing potentially disruptive protests.
