From PrisonPlanet.com: “New laws set to be passed in England and Canada would make it illegal to use bad language or take photographs of police officers, moving us further away from the idea of police as public servants and more towards the notion of cops assuming God-like status.”
This is madness! The UK has more CCTV cameras than any other country (1 for every 14 people). If anyone objects to being filmed all day everyday the Police/Government’s stock reply is: “If you aren’t doing anything wrong, you have no reason to fear cameras”. Which raises the question, what do the Police have to hide?
Being able to document the actions of the Police is one of the few remaining ways we can hold them accountable. Without that right, we are one step closer to a Police state. Write to your MP.
