1,000 Ways to Get into Your Home
If I were to tell you that I could find a list of 1,000 ways to get into your home, you’d probably assume I’m talking about some list from a bunch of thieves and other criminals. I’m not. I’m talking about the government.
Even better, when the report came out to document all the ways that the government can get into your house without your permission, the government kept it password-protected so the public couldn’t read it. What kinds of things did they not want their people to read:
• Invade your home to see if your pot plants have pests or do not have a ‘plant passport’ (Plant Health England Order 2005).
• Survey your home and garden to see if your hedge is too high (Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003).
• Check that accommodation given to asylum seekers is not being lived in by non-asylum seekers (Immigration and Asylum Act 1999).
• Raid a house to check if unlicensed gambling is taking place (Gambling Act 2005 Inspection Regulations 2007).
• Seize fridges without the correct energy rating (Energy Information Household Refrigerators and Freezers Regulations 2004).
Go read more if you want to be horrified. To make it even more frightening: Nearly half of the regulations have been created in only the last 11 years.
