    Ridiculous island. Oh you’re neurospicy? We"re going to put you in a cage now.

    The fact you cannot legally carry a small knife, which this is not, is equally absurd.

      They are lterally using their panopticon to find someone who was behaving in a slightly divergent way in public and not bothering anyone at all.

        England is one of the world’s more repressive regimes. The rights of citizens are mostly norms rather than enforcable laws, it has some of the most pervasive and invasive surveillance in the world, and the cops have a wide variety of “because I said so” laws that can be used to crush speech, dissent, and to imprison or control people without what you’d think of as “due process” in civilized nations.
