To DUers who are residing in the UK right now:

9. "Fair" doesn't come into it.

People get arrested, not just detained, under the Terrorism Act for photography in public places - one guy in Glasgow for taking a photo of his kid in a shopping center, FFS.

On the contrary, what I think doesn't matter, because I wasn't the one who detained Miranda. What the authorities think in this instance is what matters because they hold all the cards. There have been a vast number of abuses of these powers, and my point is that this was an entirely predictable occurrence, as anybody who's followed the history and controversies of UK anti-terrorism legislation would know - as I would assume Greenwald and Poitras would know, for instance, otherwise they're incredibly naive.

Don't bother badgering me any more. I'm interested in passing on information in response to questions the OP asked, not getting involved in an interrogation with a newly blown in stranger on the Internet who accuses me of "dancing round the question" when I've responded in good faith to a question somebody else asked.
