Abuse of Terrorist Act
It's a good job the terrorist act isn't open to abuse, otherwise people could get arrested for their taste in music.
By the way, this does give me an idea. Do you know anyone you don't like? Then just report them to the police, mentioning that they looked a bit suspicious. That's more than enough evidence required to cart them off to the police station.
(For reference, other miscellaneous abuses here, here and here. And regarding that last one ("Over 600 held under terror act at Labour conference"), I thought the Terrorism Act was designed to catch terrorists. There were 600 of them! Don't they qualify as an army?)
And in a Government-style survey, I can exclusively announce that 0% of the people in England feel less safe due to the Terrorism Act (it was a survey of one - me).
[UPDATE]
Another abuse here.
