To say you would be fine with something without knowing the extent of the intrusion into your life is reckless to say the least.

Of course it would have to be reasonable, the example is particularly outrageous unless you are saying there would be police waiting at every 500 metre mark to stop and search.

Also there seems to be a lot of finger pointing on this thread and "you say this now, but what if" kind of comments like people don't know their own minds
