Anti-freedom under the guise of anti-terror.

I didn't know this about the UK; but, Schedule 7 is a codified law in the UK that would be blatantly unconstitutional in These United States.

It's basically the anti-5th amendment.

The law requires that any person detained by law enforcement, for any reason, answer questions from law enforcement.

It's a teachable element among American citizens to not talk to police without a lawyer, because they're probably gonna mine for anything that you may accidentally say in order to put you in prison.

This is a law in the UK that forces you to talk to the police without council.

This is an article that was passed under an act that is supposed to deter terrorism. It's already been used to kick Lauren Southern out of the country. I definitely have my issues with Lauren Southern; but, she's not gonna strap herself to a bomb and blow up Big Ben.

It's bordering on a farce that self-proclaimed liberals in These United States are constantly saying that they're gonna seek freedom in Canada or Europe.

In These United States, it is, and has been codified in federal law that, if a law enforcement officer stops you, you are allowed to keep your mouth shut and ask for a lawyer.

This statute in the UK would overturn Miranda warnings in this nation.
