Re: Cops Are The Worst
If you post something nuts online, even here in the US, you may get a knock on the door. I don't disagree the notion is scary, but presenting the polite, not-scary-at-all Canadian version isn't going to scare people.macphisto wrote:Probably marked the resident down as uncooperative.

One of it's primary traits is the monitoring of it's citizen's activities.

Re: Cops Are The Worst
So is this happening to all of its citizens (I mean, we're all monitored), or did this obviously riled up woman post something crazy, prompting a check in?

Re: Cops Are The Worst
How would I know? You're the one acting from certainty here. You seem to know so much about the situation, and that she's clearly a deranged lunatic. From the video, she sounds perfectly reasonable to me.Rob wrote:I keep asking Burt to give us context, but he won't.

Re: Cops Are The Worst
Um, you posted the video - with the hashtag "policestate" and then defended the hashtag. All I'm asking for is context. And she's clearly excited.BurtReynolds wrote:How would I know?

Re: Cops Are The Worst
Is social media considered private?
At what point is it public domain and therefore an arena to be monitored?
