Woah, real scary article!

NORML.ORG UK: Drug Scanner Checks Public

YIKES! I don't think I even need to explain why this is downright frightening.

isn't that illegal?

Is this a joke? Talk about invasion of privacy. The Government piss me off so much, does anyone actually like them?

Uh, I don't see how they can do that, that seems like a major violation of privacy, although from what I understand there are some one and a half million camera's that watch your every move in England too, so this policy if it goes standard wouldn't surprise me any more than that invasion of privacy.

Also, we got like half a dozen bars around here, if one was doing that test, I would tell them to stick it and go down the street. And if it went nationwide, I'd be fine pulling money with the buds and going to the liquor store.

Yeah... Why would people even "want to volunteer" to do that? Sounds like some bullshit to me. I would NEVER volunteer to do that...

Ridiculous. A bogus invasion of privacy. People WANTED to be tested??!?

It wouldnt surprise me [and i think this is true] that those 1 and a half million cameras are just in London, let alone the rest of the country.

It's estimated everyone gets caught on CCTV over 300 times a day.

I cant stand this shithole.

So fight back. People piss me off as a whole, cuz everyone bitches but no one wants to unite and fight back. Instead we just let the gov run all over us, The public of the US and any where else with governments like this are jokes. Its time to quit talking and actually do some shit about this.

So... They think that if they screen people for drug residue on their hands, they will get rid of violent crime? What the fuck?

any suggestions!?

Lmao, I was thinking the same thing. It's a lot easier said than done. If there was some revolt or protest I'd be there.

Yea I know the social contract is great but the truth of the matter is we "the people" elect individuals who often loose sight of the problem at hand in which they were elected on cretin contingencies to fight and uphold.......long story short the only way we can truly change the Gov is by living up to what we hold to be true and infiltrating the political hierarchies that lay before us.Power to the People:hippy:

Someone should organize a team of people to stand in front of the cameras for extended periods of time, doing quasi-illegal, annoying, funny, or distracting stuff. I would do it, but I don't live in jolly ol' London.

Lets hold a rally or a protest or get some guns, Something anything, this is what we should do. We should schduel a gathering somewhere in the US. for people in the US. Everyone tell everyone they know and be serious about it, if all goes well one person will tell another ETC. Then hopefully people who actually take this shit seriouly will show up and hopefully it would be in the at least the triple digits. If we can actually do this which we can i will be the first fucker there waiting. Its all about how we get the word spread, the internet is the only way everyone is connected therefore we could reach everyone. Its time to stand up, ya it is just words now but if we all took this seriously we could actually do something. You think any of the people in history (example ROSA PARKS) thought they where going to be in the books? nope so its time to do something with heart we can go a long way. Even if people have to die for this shit.
The government has always been afraid of the people so lets give them something to be scared about.

ok every one start singing REM all at once
" ITS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT":)

"Everybody huuuuuuuuuuuuuurts sometiiiiiiiiiiime"

Start a big traffic jam, and everyone get out and walk! Haha, oh Michael Stipe!

I guess my point for posting this was (and I do agree with everything you guys have responded with as well):

Think about this...you get pulled over, cops claim "You are impaired." They scan you for residue and BAM, they have authority to search and arrest you for "intoxication". Cops drive by your house after a nosy neighbor claims unlawful activities. They do a quick scan of you when you answer the door, bam, busted.
