We live in a democracy and ID Cards, for example, are contained within the Governments legislative programme which people voted for. To protest against them is to protest against democracy (the will of the people) and this should be robustly discouraged.

The state of Britain today.
20 years ago I would have asked 'Justice for what, exercising their democratic right to protest'?
But now we know that those who protest are photographed and checked, the so called anti terrorist laws are being used as a means of population control, and the Government is practicing social engineering on a grand scale.
This question may look like a trollster in action, but it does touch a raw nerve.
If I were to wear a T shirt saying I object to the war in Iraq and walk past the houses of Parliament, i would be liable for arrest for 'holding an illegal demonstration in a controlled area'.
Big brother is here, he is just making himself known.
How did we all let this happen?

You are cranky, what you are proposing has nothing to do with justice. Democracy is supposed to be by rulership by public consent, if the public disagree with government policy they are right to protest. How much notice did the government take of protests against the governments intention to wage war against Iraq, they failed to take public feeling into account.
Seems to me you are a weirdo who would actually like a police state. Have any idea what that would mean?

What is wrong with you?!! So being democratic is 'bringing people to justice' for disagreeing with government policy? No, my dear, that sounds a hell of a lot more like fascism to me. Next you'll be suggesting concentration camps for political activists. Go to school.

As the right to protest is not a criminal offence, they cannot be brought to justice
I assume you are just having a laugh asking such a stupid question
