More stringent laws have had to be introduced due to the rise in anti social behaviour. We don't live in a police state but the existing laws weren't deterring people from drinking and acting disorderly in public so inevitably tougher laws had to be introduced. The one thing I do have a problem with however is the number of CCTV cameras. Apparently there are now over 4 million in the UK and I doubt if they are a cost effective means of preventing crime. The money would be better spent putting police on the streets.
