British Police State Kicks Into High Gear

[mrmod]

Better safe than sorry.

In other words, better to prevent a homicide than solve it.

It was like a scene out of Nazi Germany. “Officers and a specially-trained dog met young people coming off a number of bus routes.” They were forced to go through metal detectors and naked body scanners. Drug testing was also carried out.

So the above is perfectly acceptable to you and this should be normal every day business as usual police conduct.

Well these surprise searches are good imo. If you have nothing to hide then just do what they say. As billy said police brutality in the UK is less so than in other countries. They won't keep a force of 200 on the streets every night. That's pure madness.

Would you rather gangsters wandering the streets with knifes and guns? Because it does happen (billy will know what I'm talking about if I mention London). So I would rather surprise searches than getting stabbed.

Just my 2 cents.
