There was a report on the news on Sunday about the government wanting to give more power to the police so that they can stop and ask the details of people that they feel are suspicious on the account of terrorism laws. This caused some outrage among the members of parliament and some ethnic communities citing that the new laws would alienate said ethnic communities. The way I see it, if a community feels that the laws would alienate them then they obviously know that it is their community that causes most of the terrorism in the world. I have nothing to hide and would never feel alienated if the police stopped me and asked me what I was doing and where I was going. I would actually be happy that the police are doing their job.
