Plastic Bobbies (Community Support Officers)
* don't know their arses from their elbows, they have delusions of grandeur and often over step
the very limited power they are premitted to enforce.
These particular PB's are a good example of my above statement to the point that they had to lie and deny that they had told the tourist to delete
photos and video of what they deemed senistive subjects although not deemed in an official capacity.
The use of the Anti-terrorist laws are abused on a daily basis by the authorities, we all know it. We are all potential terrorists in the eyes of the
government and those that enforce their legislation.
The link below is from part 2 of John Harris' "It's an Illusion" watch the video from the six the minute mark for another example of law
enforcement officers over stepping their authority and having to eat humble pie when they realise the error of their ways, note the lack of
apology.
I recommend watching the whole of John Harris' It's an Illusion it's a bit of an eye opener.
Edit:
The use of Anti-terrorist laws have little to do with trying to stop another 9/11 or 7/7 and everything to do with controlling the masses.
The behaviour of the TSG (Territorial Support Group) at the G20 demonstrations is another example of over reaction and over stepping by the powers
that be.
The officer responsible for slapping and hitting one of the G20 protesters had purposely covered his ID number, for what reason would any police
officer have for doing this other than to reduce the possibility of being identified, and for what reason would he not want to be identified other
than he new full well that his behaviour would most likely be called into question. This man is nothing more than a thug with a badge he does not
respect the law and had he not become a Police Officer he would most likely be behind bars himself.
