They are getting embarrased by the numbers of clips making it to youtube showing them to be, at best, incompetent idiots and, at worst, complete thugs.

What is marvellous about the CCTV system we have here is that, 9 times out of 10 when you view it there is nothing on it that is useful to the prosecution case, and every time a defendant asks for it to prove his defence, the camera is mysteriously pointing the other way, or else they have not managed to seize the recording before it got recorded over again. :D

actually no. I was thinking, after this bill goes into effect, we could set up a site along the lines of Amihotornot.com or amigothornot.com, where people can post pictures of police in action and everyone can rate how fascist the picture is on a scale of one to ten.

so, soon in our wonderful democratic country you could take a picture of the police intimidating someone and be arrested and held without trial for 28 days(?) under the prevention of terrorism act:mad:

and they want legislation to increase the time you can be held without trial to 90 days! wtf are we coming to........

um i'm not sure you live in as much of a beacon of freedom as you think. We incarcerate over 3 million people in this country, that's 1% of the entire freaking population. That's 1 in 100 people, man.

What's worse is some people are getitng rich off of this.

case in point...

that's just the tip of the ice berg. god knows how many state legislators have been bought off by private prison firms to up the probability that any given person goes to jail and therefore causes a check from the state to be printed and made out to Society Solutions LLC, INC, LTD.

this thread was meant to describe the race to the bottom for both nations. i'm sure I'll find more evidence of fascism in our midst.

She said the punishment was excessive and that it traumatized her son, a first-time offender who was expecting community service or a fine for punishing another boy last year. Instead, he was taken from the courtroom in shackles and brought to Camp Adams, where he was beaten by other teenagers, forced to wear ripped clothes four sizes too big and permitted visitors only twice a month for an hour, she said.

i lol'd

i mean it's funny reading this whole thread
i'm sitting here thinking no one beats us in perversions of democracy and liberty. we were the new kids on the block. everything was supposed to go right but we just upped the ante of the weird and reprehensible by also being better at strategically hiding it/positioning it so no one gave a shit.

it was amusing to read of similar european legislation because it just seemed like such potatoes.

but damn, we're getting a run for our money here. you've got a ways to go but.. man.

in no way do i imply that we're perfect; we're far from it. but i do love my country enough to speak out against injustices within it; such as above. i love my country—not necessarily its policies.
