Shaking my head in despair, seams like anyone who doesn't conform to the thought police idea of normality are going to be breaking the law one time or other. Post on an internet forum social media or wherever something that doesn't quite fit our Orwellian future, then expect a knock on the door (AI can be used to monitor what we write). Become homeless by no fault of your own (failed business maybe?), and want a tent to sleep in in the winter, live outside the norm, off you pop, jail time.

 

However buy a nice new 5 bedroom 6 bathroom Barrat home, you should be OK so long as it is a Nissan Cashcow on the drive.

 

A very vague description of the crime means a very broad scope to arrest anyone they don't like.

 It's Scotland on Bonfire night, we don't need any more reason to have a good ol' tear up.
