My favorite answer though:
If I'm not doing anything wrong, then you have no cause to watch me.
.....but they werent watching you
I think its called proactive policing (although in this case, it was by a Police Solcial club, so there was either an event with the potential for trouble going on, or it was training). Does this mean a Bobby on the beat is watching you also? As far as I can tell its pretty much the same thing - proactive policing.
Lets face it, we read posts about the Police never doing enough, so why would they go out of their way to watch someone who hasnt done anything wrong
As for a conspiracy theory, spend enough time on the internet and you can find information on just about anything.
For instance: did you know that the Apollo moon landing was a hoax? That 9/11 was an inside job? That flouride is a mind control substance designed to keep humans dumb and under control?
The problem with conspiracy theorists is they ask you to demolish your mental programming, but demand you replace it with their own.
The result is to exchange one unproven worldview for another. And unfortunately, basing your decisions on the conviction of “knowing” is responsible for many of the world’s ills.
The only real truth is that it’s impossible to “know” anything. And the only real method of making decisions is through probability.
