.....or permanent UV dye in the water cannons, canno tbe seen unless under UV lighting I believe - at the very least shows you were present, but would require other evidence to be given against you to prove a crime was committed.

Society needs to realise we can't have it both ways - if we want a robust Police and Security Service in the UK, defending us against Crime and Terrorism, mistakes will be made. We just need to suck that up in the knowledge that those Services will then have the correct powers to protect us.

Mistakes should be learned from, but should not lead to the kind of bleeding hearts knee-jerk that seems to happen, and that invariably leads the Service involved to not take any gambles in the future, or leads to their powers being bled out by Governent Legislation.

Bad Politician Monkeys......
