    Dmg: If I punched you in the face or stole your car or kidnapped your Family that is law I know very well(ABH,GBH, Kidnapping, assault or theft on a person) and they have punishments I must apprehend for my actions if I did that like jail.

    This is status law the census fine. Not a workable law

    So why is it law when I pay taxes to this land, wok in my own business a lot more than the 40 hour rules opt in rule to fill in a form yet will summoned a normal non law breaker of this land with 1000 pound fine and criminal record for what…not sharing my details I choose to keep private….yet I never broke no law like I stated above just didn’t want the government to have the information it has already ON ME?
    Which also as well I feel unworkable to have because what happens if that information like over the ten years we have seen happen with discs and laptops being found on buses or public places what assurances have I got…

    which the census when I checked stated was used for a head count every ten years of population and did not ask for personal questions such as how many rooms are in my house, what car I drive or security questions when DVLA, and other departments have this information already.

    If the Government already has the information, what's the problem with sharing it again? At most, you could accuse them of being disorganised.

    Also, people have been fined. Explain that. If the law is not workable, where are the successful challenges to those fines?

    So why did you refer to the Terrorism Act? Plus, I'm guessing the Offences Against the Person Act doesn't exist in your world ...

    As one of the 'trained' people that you referred to, this concept of status law is not one that I am familiar with.

    Methinks you are making it up as you go along ... but you do make for jolly funny reading!

    What??
    Sorry, I'm a little confused.
    I would've thought it has everything to do with the government if you are working but not disclosing your income to the taxman.

    Yeah but I'm not going to tell them on the census am I?

    I've had a cr*ppy day, but then I read threads like this and realise it ain't all so bad ... At least I live in the real world (most of the time)!

    thank you

    I'll take your departure as an admission that you cannot explain why Acts are (according to you) not law, but the Terrorism Act apparently is.
