Gary Charlesworth said:Unfortunatly in the UK we have the terrorism act which basicly gives the police almost unlimited power. This goes to their head VERY quickly. If I was to pursue leagal action, the courts will almost certainly rule in the polices favour. All thanks to George Bush setting up 9/11. Besides leagal action would only go to court if he was violent toward me. Luckily everyone just laughs in their face. The people are starting to fight back... POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
You hit the nail on the head Knotty! It sux but it becomes more and more of an illusion that there is anything we can do about it, besides maybe move off the grid somewhere and start a commune ;o)

Thanks to my dreads, facial piercing, and sometimes grubby clothes (hey, I like to be comfortable when I travel) I am always given the third degree by the customs people and looked at suspiciously.
I love being taken aside for questioning or "random" searches while suburban parents in huge SUV's are waved through without any questions -- and they've probably just smuggled $5K worth of cross-border shopping loot over the border and not claimed them for taxes & import duty!
My tax dollars at work. *sighs*

We have the patriot act in the US and it gives them pretty much the right to do it all and get away with it and just say"well I thought he was a terrorist" It's happened to me many times. Actually just a few weeks ago we got pulled over for having "in transit" plates on a van we just purchased on Long Island, which were totally legit for another 3 weeks. The cop went through all our paper work and knew we weren't doing anything wrong and then said "look guys, I can smell something coming from the van you need to tell me now before I find it myself" He was DEAD wrong anyway and by our reaction,he knew it and let us go. We were lucky though.
