AFIK the police are not allowed to strike. I am sure they can become lazy and slow when they want to though.

Ah yes you're right, earlier articles were saying strike. Now they're saying industrial action so yeah, work to rule and stuff like that

could they do things like refuse to issue fines?

Not sure, that would be a partial strike so don't know if the prohibition on police striking extends to that or not.

Work to rule is more like exploiting the mismatch between the requirements of a role on paper, and what it takes to actually do a role in practice. For example, stopping doing things like doing extra unpaid overtime or taking on responsibilities that aren't technically in your job description but are necessary to keep things going.
