Bureaucrats and Blackmailers

Christmas that I happened to catch the Orson Welles Sketchbook transmitted from 26 December to Forrest. Welles may have been talking about decades ago, but her message could not be more pertitent today. He disccuses State surveillance, police powers and blackmail bureaucrats.

Welles stories refers in General by his travels around the globe who occupy of border police and the bureaucracy. he want day her father when people had freedom of movement as opposed to, "today [when] we are treated as children dementia or arrears". What on Earth he make of modern Britain, place the most watched on the planet?

He says he's stopped at the border of a European country nameless by policemen typically officious and bullying. He has endeavoured to tell us that this is not an anarchist or against the police. can play a joke practical on police, but he did not advocate to break the law. Rather, he wants to bring the policeman to law.

The best pieces begin to 9 minutes where he explores the dangers of ' insidious ' red tapism.
"Think about all those forms that you fill out. Why should I have confide my religion to the police?The race is of someone nobody business ".

Yes the policeman has a difficult work very hard, he says, but "is the essence of our society that work of policemans should be difficult.He is their protected the citzien free. Chasing criminals is incidental part of his work. The free citizen is increasingly a nuisance for the COP more criminals. he knows what to do about the criminal. "

"We must be thankful for the COP. But we must be thankful, too, for the laws that protect us against the policeman.There are those laws and they are very different from police regulations.And these regulations accumulate. Forms continue to come. "

"The bureaucrat and I'm also here the policeman, is part of a great big monstrous thing – really like a blackmailer.You cannot pay him ever.More give him more he asks."

We accept each new question, because we don't want in trouble with the police is easier just by hand on any new piece of our personal life, such authorities require to accept even more surveillance, forms, more databases; to give police more powers of arrest.

Why should we make trouble? would be a matter of better in a democracy, as says Welles, "why should the policeman making trouble for us?"
