"WATCHING YOU

...IN BIG BROTHER BRITAIN

As they travelled through the City of London on private business on
31st July 2005, two peace campaigners - John Catt, an 80 year old
pensioner at the time and his daughter Linda (with no criminal record
between them) - were stopped and their vehicle searched under section
44
of the Terrorism Act 2000 by City of London police. They were both
threatened with arrest if they refused to answer police questions.

Unbeknown to them the vehicle in which they were travelling had
triggered an alert as it passed an automatic vehicle number plate
recognition camera - part of the cops' 'Ring of steel' around the City
of
London.

After they made a complaint about both the manner and the
circumstances
in which they were stopped, it was revealed that it had resulted
from a police marker being placed against their vehicle on the Police
National Computer (PNC) by Sussex Police.

Not this time. The post was about registration marks being "marked" on
the PNC.

It's not about the transport itself.

Transport is about the movement of goods and people. I'm surprised that one
as erudite as you believes otherwise.

I'm glad to see the police doing their job. And no, my car does not have
an entry on the PNC. Neither do I. I bet you do though.
