Lots of folks the world over (some of them British and manning checkpoints of their own) think that this policy is indeed a trigger-happy one.
My repsonse was from a link you provide after mine (same one)
Tensions also rose among British troops near Basra. They had been instructed to stop vehicles 50 meters from their checkpoint and tell the occupants to leave their cars and walk toward the soldiers.
Soldiers then would check the occupants and their vehicles separately.
"If they start coming toward us, I'll empty 200 rounds in them," said Lance Cpl. Dean Brusby, 24, as he manned a machine gun at a checkpoint on the road to Basra's airport.
but you left the above part out.
