People slander the government of the day.
People despise parking fines, speed fines, fines for being on your phone while driving.
Fines for no TV licenses.
A friend of a family member got fined £1000 for having an out of date drivers license.
etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.
Day to day people hate the law/government. As 90% of the time they only hear from them in a negative situation. Then they're happy to sign over every lasts scrap of information....
For some reason they've got it into their heads the law and government does the right and correct thing for the people.
