Watched it
Interesting in places, he does has some points to make. The points I found interesting were him observing differences between law and statute etc, that police don't have authority unless you break a law, but surly we all knew that?
But by and large I think he's talking bollocks. I don't really understand what he thinks he / we will all gain from 'destroying the person'. He forgets about the positives that are resulting from these legal fictions, like benefits, the ability to run public services such as libraries etc.
