Due process has been dying a slow death on the other side of the pond for some time now. The UK has abolished the prohibition on double jeopardy, the right to remain silent, and, in most cases, the right to a jury trial. They also don't have an exclusionary rule, so the police are free to rely on illegally-obtained evidence in court. Lots of things that require judicial warrants, like communication intercepts, in the US can be done in the UK with only administrative approval.
