Those are the laws of this country. If you don’t like them, you can piss off. If you think our laws are tough you need to get out more.
Neville,
OK mate, I’ll bite. I don’t smuggle drugs, deal in kiddie porn or plan to carry out a terrorist attack. Please tell me exactly how these laws that supposedly erode our civil rights will affect me in my day to day life.
Personally I don’t mind a little inconvenience (and that’s all it is) if it means stopping the bad guys. If someone wants to listen to my phone conversations or read my e-mails, they must be pretty bored!
These types of shrill comparisons to a “police state” really get my goat. Try Saudi Arabia for a taste of real “police state” lifestyle. Until you’ve experienced something like that you really have no clue what you’re on about.
