Other than that, if someone hasn't committed a crime we shouldn't be locking them up. Just a very, very slippery slope.

Not to mention we barely have the resources to lock up the clearly dangerous individuals let alone every oddball on the street. There are LOT of very strange people out there.

Lets be real this person wouldn't get near a classroom in the UK thankfully
