It's hard to get excited about the proposed law changes. The cops have already got draconian laws they can use but don't. For instance any group of three people or more who cause anybody to fear for the safety of themselves or their property can be declared an unlawful assembly. (That's from memory, but that's the gist.)
If there's twenty gang members causing post menopause pessimists to fear for their safety the cops won't be doing anything until they outnumber the gang members, and that ain't likely to happen anywhere more than a few Ks from Queen Street.
At best we'll likely get some new rushed and badly written legislation which will then be filed somewhere the paper slowly turns yellow. At worst some enthusiastic idiot will misuse it.
There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
