If you want, ignore all the evidence throughout history and just focus on recent events. In the past 10 years or so:

1) The right of silence. "you do not have to say anything” has been amended to “but it may harm your defence if you do not mention…” So you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
2) Explosion of CCTV to the point where you’re filmed 300 times a day, for NO valid reason.
3) DNA being taken from innocent people and never being destroyed.
4) ID cards for all.
5) Plans to criminalize drivers on hearsay. 5 yr old footage will be enough to convict you of being at fault in a later incident.
6) Most of all, in the past 2 years, since special laws were introduced to fight terrorism, numerous local councils have abused them in order to spy and criminalize innocent people. You and Driving Dog find such a concept laughable but once again, as through history, it is happening once again.


Just stop and think off all of the above. They were all unthinkable and “LOL” just ten year prior. Ten years! So just what “LOL” is possible within the next ten, twenty or thirty?
