Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners.

Suffolk police harrass 134 innocent people
tagged with:
I just noticed this on he BBC feed - Suffolk police have been carrying out an operation targeting "illegal activity" on the roads of the county. More than two dozen officers were involved and out of 200 stops they fined a few people for this and that - speeding, not wearing a seatbelt and so on. But they breathalyzed 134 drivers and every test was negative.
I wonder what else they were stopped for? Do we have "random" stops now in the UK? If there was nothing else to charge them with, dangerous driving or whatever, why were they stopped? Just so they could try breathing for a few seconds? Why are innocent people being harrassed in this way?
