Police State

Press sees through Britain's "emergency" surveillance legislation.
"It was essential, the Prime Minister went on, that all parties agreed to support the emergency legislation. “There can be no party-political ding-dong,” he said sternly, “while we defend democracy.”
A pedant might argue that, without the former, you don’t have the latter, and that in effect Mr Cameron was saying that he didn’t want freedom getting in the way of freedom. "
This guy confuses democracy with freedom.

Cops create child porn.
"In order to enforce laws that treat vices as if they were crimes, the police are given great latitude to engage in proscribed behavior in order to prosecute those who don’t enjoy the same privileges. Thus undercover narcotics officers are allowed to purchase and even to consume narcotics, vice enforcement officers are permitted to engage in sexual conduct during prostitution stings, and at least one police agency has been authorized to create child pornography in order to prosecute a teenager accused of that offense."
Yet people talk about the rule of law.

The state's version of  "justice" defined as the redistribution of violence.

Latest Google Glass reads your mind.

More cops' secret use of cell phone intercept technology including Stingray.
