Moved to Off Topic because it is not news "about firearms." This will be like that Stallone/Wesley Snipes movie where people are fined by nearby machines for misbehaving.
Ah Demolition man or some crap like that! I remember that now, "Be Well" and the teleprompter that told the "police" how to communicate and talk to the BG!!! That was too funny....
OMG what potential for abuse!!! I can NOT believe they will be giving people such power!!!! (yes that's 4 exclamation marks.) What will be the criteria for being one of these "watchers"? It will ahve to be exponentially more stringent than for being a cop. I can see it now. Someone drops a gum wrapper on the ground & some crazed "watcher" starts screaming NEE NEE NEE NEE NEEEEEEE. The body count will be insane.
Care of Radley Balko we have a graphic for your viewing pleasure. England....dissent while you still can.
I forgot about that! It was touted as a good way to keep the final 4 crowds "safe" and "secure". my a$$
Unfortunately, it gets worse... Not only have the Brits given up their privacy, but almost all of their other rights as well. In England and Scotland, people have been prosecuted for attempting to defend themselves and their property. Even homeowners who were in their own houses at the time! British law says people have the duty to retreat, not to defend. People have gone to prison for defending themselves! (Formerly) Great Britan values all human life above property. Some people have pretty much, by their actions, forfeited their membership in the human race. If caught in the act of stealing from, or assulting, others those lowlife scumbags deserve to be shot. Not according to the powers-that-be in England......
