I doubt it. I don't think anyone in America really expects something like a city-wide door-to-door search for one man.

They are not knocking on doors and asking nicely if the owners would like them to check under the bed. They have full blown martial law, everyone confined to their homes, while the police and military demand entry into every house of a city of over half a million to look for one guy. It's nothing to do with safety, it's a performance to show the strength of the state.

Do you Americans have number plate recognition cameras? Serious question, because we have them over here now.

I don't mind them as much as the average speed checkers though-- the ones that register your plate at point A, again at point B, calculate your average speed, then send you the driving ban.

Oh, those are different. We have the cameras on traffic lights that catch you even if it's 3am on a completely empty straight road. We have normal speed cameras everywhere, with a usual 30mph speed limit (You can usually get away with 33-35). Then we have numberplate recognition cameras that have nothing to do with speed, they just monitor where every car is. Then we have average speed checkers. Then lastly, we have the mobile cameras -- where the police go and hide behind a tree somewhere to catch motorists.

Cameras also double for car defects and seatbelts -- it's illegal to drive without wearing a seatbelt, so we'll get charged for that too.

So what exactly is happening in these pictures? Are the people letting the police in or are they forcing themselves into unwilling peoples homes? They can't supply warrants for each individual home since reasonable suspicion is needed. Does martial law mean suspending due process and letting the government do whatever the fuck it feels like?

This is all a test.

Please, stop with the dramatics. Watertown has a population of 32k, and they haven't searched outside it. Furthermore, there isn't martial law. Even when Gov.
