Police must avoid the "temptation" to abuse anti-terrorism laws by using them as a net to round up innocent people – particularly in the run-up to next year's Olympics, the Government's terrorism watchdog has warned.
David Anderson QC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, cautioned police while ruling yesterday that six men arrested during the papal visit last year were never involved in any plot to kill the Pope.
Quote from : Wikipedia : Dialectic : Hegelian Dialectic
Hegelian dialectic, usually presented in a threefold manner, was stated by Heinrich Moritz Chalybäus as comprising three dialectical stages of development: a thesis, giving rise to its reaction, an antithesis, which contradicts or negates the thesis, and the tension between the two being resolved by means of a synthesis.
Although this model is often named after Hegel, he himself never used that specific formulation.
Hegel ascribed that terminology to Kant.
Carrying on Kant's work, Fichte greatly elaborated on the synthesis model, and popularized it.
On the other hand, Hegel did use a three-valued logical model that is very similar to the antithesis model, but Hegel's most usual terms were: Abstract-Negative-Concrete.
Sometimes Hegel would use the terms, Immediate-Mediated-Concrete.
Hegel used these terms hundreds of times throughout his works.
The formula, Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis, does not explain why the Thesis requires an Antithesis.
However, the formula, Abstract-Negative-Concrete, suggests a flaw in any initial thesis—it is too abstract and lacks the negative of trial, error and experience.
The same applies to the formula, Immediate-Mediated-Concrete.
For Hegel, the Concrete, the Synthesis, the Absolute, must always pass through the phase of the Negative, that is, Mediation.
This is the actual essence of what is popularly called Hegelian Dialectics.

I find it quite sad and disturbing that a police officer would have to be told not to harass or round up innocent people.

They've been using terrorism in San Bernardino County as a crime deterrent for years.
If they use the word terrorism in the report,they can hold you for 30days without bail.
They can let you out earlier then that if they "feel" like it.
They used to threaten people with that all the time.
So I heard.

Can someone please tell me, what the heck a terrorist looks like? I mean, how does a police officer 'spot' one? Does the terrorist wear a shirt that says: "I am a terrorist"? Also, how come no one has arrested government officials for their acts of terrorism; or are they exempt from the rules? Wouldn't a "terrorist" be one who instills fear, in another person/persons?
Terror, from the Latin verb terrere meaning "to frighten". The goal of terror is to inspire dread and to paralyze the will to resist the objectives of the perpetrator.

Thing is police get instructions on how the laws are intented to work and how to use them all the time. By the time they've tied their shoes they have forgotten them.

Let me put it this way. Why would I? Have I personally seen and heard of this type of behavior?
Absolutly. Would I care to elaborate? NO.. Do I have court records that may show proof tucked away?
Mayyyyybe.
This is a public forum. Things are just fine for me. No sense ruffling anyones feathers direct.
LOL..You going to call ACLU? Yeah...That'll help.
Here's a snippet about California law...Makes no reference to terroism threats..but real non-the-less.
