Oh you don't want us flying over property the tax payers pay for? Recording government employees whose salary is paid for by the citizenry? Ok, then you are no longer allowed to cheat and be lazy by using such prying sneaky equipment as automatic number plate recognition scanners. You're also not allowed to infringe on our personal liberties by pulling us over in our private vehicles on our bought and paid for roads for absolutely no reason. No more nefarious and devious Mr. Big activities that serve only to entrap the very people who pay YOU to keep THEM safe. Oh, and no more fancy tax payer purchased helicopters keeping track of citizens movements anymore either. Time to stop declaring war on the very civilians who you are paid to protect and serve NOT shoot and lock away. You are becoming the very terrorists we are being taught to fear.
Also, does this new demand apply to all employers everywhere? Listen up employers of the world, no more recording your employees. Put the multitude of cameras and scanners away. Our public servants have declared it to be wrong and interfering and spying and dare I say it, trespassing. Tsk Tsk.
