Trouble is, people make judgments without hearing all the facts. they accuse people of being criminals when they haven't been convicted. It's a step away from lawlessness. I doubt very much that the UK will ever become a vigilante state. It just won't happen. That's not to say the criminal justice system is infallible. Clearly it isn't. But it would take something really huge for the general public to rise up in a wave of vigilantism.
