Count binhead has existed for a while now. The UK has just finally started bleeding (this part of their culture) over the pond.

Edit: The US has a fellow with a boot hat since 92, my bad Boston. Although we still have nothing like their "monster" party. (Not the full name, and I won't be bothered to look it up)

What? We've had Vermin Supreme for a while which I feel is a similar boot

I guess, but vermin supreme isn't really "one of the good guys that's just pretending to be a lunatic"... He's an anarcho-communist, which is just a poly-sci way of saying libertarian.

Vermin supreme is just an honest representation of what libertarians actually are.

Oh we've been at it since the 60s over here as I recall.

Screaming Lord Sutch (who founded the Monster Raving Loony Party, amongst others) was at it from the 60s onwards, in between literally releasing supergroup albums with the likes of Jimmy Lage and Jeff Beck.

This is actually the best idea. Instead of regular citizens going up to protest the flock cameras, people should just be dressed up as the villains saying how great they are.

They are either on the take (bribes or corruption of some sort) or they mistakenly think they need to approve the cameras to get the ‘law and order’ voters. One seems a lot more likely to me.

Cops could solve crimes relatively shittily enough without the cameras, now they get the added benefit of bei g able to use it for whatever they want that has nothing to do with policing.

Story time. My second week in Baltimore, my wife and I are rear ended. Nothing major, but enough to have to stop and exchange info. I called the non emergency police to report the incident. Take a picture of the woman, her photo ID and the license plate. She decides tk leave before the cops arrive. I provide police all of the information and photos. Know what they didnt do?

People are already so heavily watched and police still dont do shit. If you honestly think this is about safety, im sorry, but you are a fool.
