I don't know the laws in the USA but in the UK we have to give the police our details backed up with ID, such as passport, driving licence. If we provide false details we will be arrested until our ID is confirmed. I see nothing wrong in that.
First, one of the many things I like and admire about you Brits is your comparatively
proper bearing in all social matters -- including the relatively polite, friendly and agreeable relationship between you lot and your police, who, until recently, had no need to be armed. Please understand that for a substantial percentage of Americans this has never been the case . Most of we
yanks have never been submissive to or friendly toward armed authority -- thus the Revolution.
Marshall Farms are doing nothing illegal. and if they are breeding animals for research then it is up to politicians to change the law.
You don't know that Marshall Farms is doing nothing illegal. The SHARK group consists of intelligent, responsible, good-hearted citizens who obviously have some cause to suspect that something isn't quite cricket there, which is why they've seen fit to have a look via their drone -- and they broke no laws in doing so.
The security are paid by Marshall Farms to protect the business and they would be neglecting their duty if they did nothing.
True. The problem is what they did is call upon the state police to
investigate a group of people who had done nothing to warrant any such aggressive official action. So the SHARK people had every right to resist and to stand their ground -- and I give them much credit for doing so. It is people like they who keep the armed authorities on the right side of the boundary line.
I know I am a UK resident and you can say I should mind my own business but I am only observing.
You have every right to observe and your comments are most appreciated. Please be advised that I, for one, am a bit of an anglophile who likes and admires much about the
mother country and its people.
