Id cards
trials without jury
secret trials for suspected terroists
trials where its based on probability not proof
apparantly can be done for thinking of being a terroist
not actually defining what a terroist is, or including opposition to government as a terroist
ability to ban protests at a whim
giving people civil orders to not do something under threat of prison if they break it
detaining people indefinetly without trial
government able to suspend all elections and existing law under the vague description of an 'emergency'
all of those would be checked by 2 years time according to current law and queens speech
Heres a bit from the bbc
Bet the safeguards don't stop an enormous rise in arrests for minor stuff .......
How much do you want to bet we will NEVER see someone arrested for dropping litter?
Don't be ridiculous.
Making offences arrestable clears up things like tresspassing meaning they can be arrested on the spot instead of being reported for summons, not turning up and being arrested on warrant. A process that costs time and money.
£100 to Legal defence & monitoring group the first time it happens?
It is very difficult to imagine a Tory home secretary being more right-wing or 'tough', that is very very wrong..........
i know i'm hiding under my desk with my door triple padlocked as i write this :nervous:
but yeah sorry i can never seem to spell properly when i post in this forum
im doing the same, but only beause the durham assassins guild is scary
What's even scarier is that in 20 years they'll be running the country.
Sad sacks.
What's anyone scared of, anyway. If you've done nowt wrong, you won't be targeted. Or so says Herr Blunkett, starting up from where Goebbels and Himmler left off...
But ive heard about on the spot fine (not sure how much it was), when someone stubbed a fag out in my town centre.
