Any temporary restriction will become permanent. They always tell people it is going to be "temporary" and "there will be protections put in place". All it does is normalise such restrictions and then when anyone objects to people will say "Well it been in place now for a while, it is normal, most people are fine with it, you must have something to hide".
The same thing is done time and time again and nobody becomes any the wiser.
- magicalhippo 5y agoI meant temporary in the sense that police stopping you and asking for your ID is, for people with an ID, a temporary restriction of freedom. You can't just go saying you'll miss the bus. As such I think it's good that the police have to leave a paper trail.
- YEwSdObPQT 5y agoYeah I misunderstood what you said.
