Hey guys and gals,

No idea if you've followed the news at all, but the government are suggesting that the police should use bully tactics to scare trouble-makers.

They did it in Essex, where previous offenders and known trouble-makers were video-camera'd numerous times at their homes, spoken to in the streets and told that they were being watched.

Apparently it helped reduce crime...

Anyone got any thoughts? Think that's a load of crap? I know I do! Sounds like Labour have kinda given up on the old "people need to be reformed and re-educated" idea and just gone with "let's punish 'em"..
