There are various emergency powers that can be brought
into force by such people as the Ministry of Agriculture,
Fisheries and Food (Swine Fever, Foot and Mouth, etc),
MOD, Home Office and vaious other government departments
and organisations under Emergency Powers Acts or
emergency situations covered in other acts. Some of the
powers are almost literally draconian - right of entry
and seizure of goods and property, summary arrest and
detention without trial, etc.

Oh yeah, there are draconian emergency powers, have a
read of Section 6 of the Firearms Act 1968 for example.
There are all sorts of emergency orders and so on still
in force regulating all sorts of things in Northern Ireland.
