Three strikes as in "madatory life imprisonment without parole" or "get disconnected from the internet if you're suspected of file sharing"? The former seems to be chiefly an American specialty. As to the latter, yeah, crazy times.
I was, obviously, oversimplifying things. Even so, I was talking about the whole environment, not some single bill or law. That said the UK has worked hard in recent years to reach #2 after the US. Libel laws were mentioned already but there are other areas as well (mainly designed to make us all safer, of course.)
