@Gargron Wow, we're 18 years into it here in Turkey and yet this is way too creative even for Erdogan.

@Gargron

also difficult to enforce. you're allowed to film cops doing ordinary patrol things, but as soon as they start hitting someone you're supposed to stop? as if you couldn't tell they were about to start? so we should stop recording even before that? this is some fucked up variation of Zeno's paradox.

@Gargron
That's fucked up.

@Gargron

@Gargron I am sad for you.

In Hong Kong, cops hide their identity by consealling their face and ID number or closing down streets from "unlicensed reporters".

But they still want to keep the appearance of upholding free of speech and police accountability. And most of the time, we still get footages of their brutality.

Disallowing people in identifying police is fucked up. Let's hope government elsewhere don't follow this practice.

@Gargron

Yes but, no, they haven't. Not yet at least.

"One bill, which passed an initial hurdle in the lower house of Parliament, the National Assembly, on Tuesday, restricts the public filming of the police"

@Gargron
Genuinely fucked up.

Yet, should be considered as an expected progression for any state these days.

As ever, it's up to the people, if we take back the power we have.

Is reaching critical mass for such things getting harder or easier?

@Gargron Spain welcomes France to the club🤮

@Gargron how that is f#cked up

@Gargron law still has to go through Senate to be adopted, but that still sucks

@Gargron Well, that's not YET fucked up as the lew has to go to the Senat before, but freaking yes. We'll fight !

@Gargron Oh the tyranny...

2020 and 2021 are supposed to be decade-defining years and possibly even a precipice for chaotic behavior like totalitarian leadership.

@Gargron Get even. Get Reflectacles
