terrorism and cycling
Yesterday I was reading that in the UK a report was ordered on relative
police powers regarding terrorism. It was expected to show that UK powers of arrest without charge were mild. It in fact found that they were by far the toughest in Europe. 3 months without charge and without of course the geneva convention applying And then today this came to light. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...829289,00.html Hmmmmm |

Gate, guard gives warning, harbour master gives warning and then the police arrive. Sheese The UK legislation is draconian and probably unnecessary but how stupid does one have to be to get arrested when people are tellig you to stop? John Kane, Kingston ON Canada |
