State Peoples Police will find any pretext for harassing you

Judge Halts Search for Cartoonist Who Embarrassed Cops | The Freeman | Ideas On Liberty

“In April, Renton Police Chief Kevin Milosevich learned of eight videos on YouTube featuring computer-voiced cartoon characters rambling about office politics and internal cop investigations, according to an affidavit for one of the warrants. There’s also some chatter about an officer dating a suspect.

The videos mentioned no city, department or full names. But police built a cyberstalking case against the videomaker . . .” (Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

It’s barely even necessary for the State to have a pretext for harrassing you.
