You make it sound like the average citizen is at fault for this . The average citizen in any country is only a product of his upbringing . Our comfort zone is given to us . Our fears are given to us . There is no population of people in civilized society that isn ' t a product of intelligent design so to speak . We ' re not all the free thinkers that we think we are , and hindsight is always 2020 . <| sep |> It was uncucked when Aaron Schwartz was alive <| sep |> In England scotland and ni have there own rules Unless they specifically suspect you of committing a crime then you are free to do whatever you want really as long as you stay nearby to comply with any requirements that you have due to being in charge of a vehicle . If they have enough to arrest you and they don ' t want you doing whatever you are doing then you will be arrested . Personally , I have always stayed in the car if it is raining and got out if the weather is ok , never had any issue made of either choice .
