Judge Ends Blair's Kiddie Harassment

Last month, I briefly wrote about a preposterous new curfew law in the U.K. that allows the police to stop anyone under sixteen after 9 p.m., not a hint of probable cause necessary. A fifteen-year-old British boy didn't take the measure lying down — he sued. And won. His rationale:

"Of course I have no problem with being stopped by the police if I've done something wrong. But they shouldn't be allowed to treat me like a criminal just because I'm under 16." 

As Reason's Hit & Run notes, it's a principle "so simple even a child can understand it."
