I’m fully with you on that. I don’t necessarily advocate this kind of tactic, and I feel that UK citizens are far less protected from the awesome power of the state than Americans are. JMO.Not likely to pass the "innocent until proven guilty" assumption here in the U.S. Our legal system precludes that kind of privacy invasion at this time. Our privacy laws are being challenged by increasing video surveillance common in the UK but generally considered illegal here (of course that's an ongoing fight).
It would scare me if the U.S. started violating basic rights enshrined by our founding documents such ad mass DNA collection.
Thanks for the reminder that basic human rights long protected in the U.S. are not as common outside it.
