British Transport Police, Piracy and Terrorism Billboard

A controversial billboard in London from the British Transport Police claims that monitoring internet history for film piracy can prevent bombings. The ad suggests that pirating films funds organized crime and terrorism, a link the hosts find illogical. Additionally, recent counter-terrorism arrests in Birmingham are described as "pre-crime" actions based on suspected "instigation" rather than concrete acts.

UK Anti-Terrorist Hotline Advertising Campaign

The UK's advertising watchdog has pulled a series of radio ads for the Anti-Terrorist Hotline that encouraged citizens to report neighbors for using cash or keeping curtains closed.
