Your right of course Knife it's a very thin line.
I don't like the idea of giving up freedom to get security.
I'm no fan of CCTV at all.Here in Britain they are everywhere.But they have been used to catch a good number of criminals.My wife says she feels safer in town with the CCTV about.So as I say it's a thin line.Powers to stop and search are another,but it's when it starts getting misused is the problem.Having recourse to the law and proper safeguards are needed.Thank God for the house of lords I say.At least they give these things a good looking at.
The problem to me is when you get an extreme government using these powers for control reasons.
I dread to think what it would be like now if TBW had access to the technology we have today.She used our police for political reasons.She hated working people with a hate.
