The UK has been a fascist state for a long time.

Too bad you're only noticing now.

Answer 2

Are you talking about arresting people who have written plans in there house to commit a crime weeks later or just simply arresting people on whim? Having evidence of planning or preparing for a crime is illegal anywhere. Even if the crime is going to happen years later. This law applies in America too. How else do we foil murders and terrorist plots?

Answer 3

Scary crap Trout. The fact that a precedence has been set is scary. It doesn't matter that it happened in England. It's only a matter of time before that precedence is used as justification for implementation in the United States or in your case Canada.
