Dystopian present

Helicopter searchlights scanning the area. Armed shock troops intimidating citizens. Arresting innocents. Taking their possessions. Accusing them of uncommitted crimes. Inciting violence. Using dodgy laws to bludgeon peaceful protest.

Well, the police in Kent are certainly making a name for themselves. Welcome to Airstrip One in the 21st Century.

The police are seizing items they believe could be used to break the law. So why not confiscate every single fucking car on the road?

They've confiscated the pole for the wind turbine!

Probably a danger to the low-flying helicopters...
