Whilst i agree that there is no need to antagonise the police needlessly, some people dont like the idea that its ok for us to be under heavy survielance with cctv, numberplate recognition etc, Britain is the most heavily watched nation in the world, you have to realise the potential for misuse of all that info by the powers that be.
And before you come out with 'if your doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about' our society is based on habeus corpus (soon to change under EU rules)
You might not want to accept it but its police state creeping in, has been for a long time.
