    OK, I type this again, after once being thwarted by the auth. Whatever the Cap'n's maladies, he has raised a valid point. The people of Britain stand a very, frightening risk of this kind of shit being pulled on them. Just ask Holland. This is not a figment, but a story', not imagined by the Cap'n, but actually constructed by deluded leftits the world around.

    You are of course right to have concerns. There is a fine balancing act that needs constant monitoring to ensure the balance does not go too far one way or the other way. This is a problem that first past the post electoral democracies have to weigh. With a huge majority of one political party that forms the government could, and sometimes does, mean that unwelcome, unsavory, and often badly worded legislation can be forced through. With a hung or minority governing party, you are more likely to have consensus politics.

        Actually custom and excise can and always could enter without a warrant. but not social services which is the department involved here, and social seervices cannot obtain a warrant they need to approach the police to get it who then needs to put it before a judge.

        Nope, as far as I am aware, even they need to get a Court Order to enter, except to stop an on-going crime in which case the Constabulary will also be involved. (Police and Criminal Evidence Act is relevant). But that is besides the point. You are correct with regards to Social Services.

            I was supprised too but I am of the belief that HMCE do have the right of entry without a warrant, which when you consider that MI5 and MI6 both need warrants makes it a bit strange

              HM Customs & Excise used to have quite draconian powers. But that is history. Today, Customs & Excise joined with Inland Revenue to form HMRC (HM Revenue & Customs). The Police & Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) did change how many authorities behave, including Customs & Excise. Read here http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/downloadFile?contentID=HMCE_PROD1_027312[^] Of course, Customs still retains some of their inherited powers but it is now more formalized into this umbrella PACE and various relating statutory instruments.

                      what would your answer be?

                      Well first off the UK government broadly defines anti-social behavior to include just about anything they dictate as inappropriate. Second, the authorities can come in and inspect the home of anyone who is ratted out, but this is normal for the UK. Even back in the 1700s King George III enforced the Stamp Act on the American colonies which required every piece of paper, pamphlet, poster, ANY PIECE OF PAPER REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT IS USED FOR, be stamped with the king's stamp. How did they enforce this? The king gave the right to authorities to write their own search warrants to inspect people's homes, which is what they are doing now but all they need is someone's word that a family is anti-social. If someone is truly abusive or neglecting his or her children, then they should go to jail for a while and the children can live with other family or a willing adopter family or a temporary intervention family.

                      I never advocated giving kids porn. I said I was against state sex-ed because they do show inappropriate material to young kids. My little brother when he was 10 or 11 told me that the school was showing a video of a man ejaculating. I don't think that is necessary for such a young mind. I'd like you to quote me saying I advocate giving porn to kids. You can't because I didn't.

                      And I called you out on how ignorant this statement is, and you refused to respond. I asked you several times to discuss it, and you refused. You're an idiot.

                      Assuming this is true, does that prove that that's what all sex education programs do ? And, given that he's your brother, why would anyone assume he's truthful ?

                        go polish your gun it will relieve stress you seem to get upset when confronted by your own behaviour, I have applied the exact criteria to you as you applied to others and yet I am a troll? but surely that would mean that you are not only a troll but a self confessed one! I have a nice job, a loving wife, kids, house, car, bike and most of the toys I require, Iam reasonably well read, I have the ability to make my own mind up about the things I read, I rarely take any Internet source as being correct and will allways cross reference before making up my mind and most of all I dont think everyone is out to get me. What you seem to be looking for is some form of communism, or perhaps anachy and I wish you well because i would hate to live in either oh and i do hope that ypu bump into a like minded person (but hopefully he will have a bigger gun and you will cease to be a problem)

                            To be brutally honest, if you have kids and expect me to pay for it, then you've given up a lot of your rights, especially if you go on to prove yourself an unfit parent. I think cameras in homes is hideous, but it also appears to be a lie, so, when it comes to community services monitoring retards because they breed and show no responsibility, then I think that's probably inevitable and unavoidable.

                              Christian, you may well find this interesting, but I doubt CSS would. Finished tonight on BBCtv was a 3 part documentary entitled "Truth About Crime". Over a period of time, the BBC recorded a crime audit in the University city of Oxford. http://www.bbc.co.uk/truthaboutcrime/index.shtml[^] Some of the video/audio might not be permitted to be seen by yourself (non UK destination). It makes me ashamed to be a human being seeing some of the obnoxious activities people get up to. And people from other countries look upon Britain with some degree of disbelief. People howsoever young or old have a total disregard for their neighbours, for the emergency services and so on. Who in their right frame of mind chooses to attack a family (and their house and other property) just because a teenage child of that family suffers some mental illness. Or thugs - usually teenage kids but not exclusively so - choose to attack emergency service vehicles and their personnel just for doing the job what we require of them - putting out fires etc that was probably started by these not so innocent hooligans. If people were to behave there would be no need for draconian measures of the kind CSS dislikes, and it would be cheaper on the public purse and this saving would be matched by a reduction in local and national taxation.

                                  ANY use of official cameras in a functioning home environment violates so many principles, and pre-existing laws, and must be resisted. Yet for the public good and for commercial security, we are happy to have CCTV located in our town centres and high streets. If ASBO's and the like don't work, then, for our most persistent child offenders, there are Local Authority Secure Accommodation and Juvenile Detention Centres. (children's prisons if you want another name for them) But even there, personal privacy cannot be violated by the installation of cameras.

                                    There are actually reality shows that are based on how badly some Britons act while abroad, and also at home. That's what CSS does not get - if this is happening at all, it's in response to a problem. He seems to think that people will behave if just left alone. Most probably will. It's the rest that require some form of intervention. It's sad - how do people become adults in body, without learning a basic sense of responsibility or pride in themselves and their environment ?

                                      Do you advocate putting cameras into people's homes to enforce behavioral contracts?

                                      Your failure to respond to defend your ignorant comments on sex education and homosexuality, makes you an absolute gutless pussy, and undermines any credibility you might hope to have here.
