M25 closure - do police have too much power?

[Leveret]

After a collision apparently involving only around four small vehicles and one fatality, the M-way was closed in both directions for hours and hours on end. Goodness knows how many tens of thousands of people were inconvenienced, some probably seriously. Why is this tolerated? Was this yet another example of the effect of this country's paralysing and ludicrously expensive jurocracy?

[Fast and Spurious]

Don't know, and yes. No doubt some will have other opinions.
