The fact that this kind of thing is still going on is so far beyond the pale that it's maddening.

So while it might be apparent that there are laws that permit what's going on in GB, I'm suspicious and I suspect it's not the case. I don't see the legality of it. Is it internally legal? It appears not to be externally legal, as roachboy points out. It certainly isn't ethical.
whether it turns out that it's legal or illegal, nothing will come of it because people refuse to enforce the rule of law. people choose to believe that rights are limited and that the government can limit those rights in the name of safety and public order. well your government (yours and mine) are keeping us safe, so those at GB have more limited rights than the rest of us.

how totally not surprising that you wonn't equate the two incidents, or did they have their permissions removed because they were a minority in disapproval of the populace?
