ANNOUNCEMENT: Calling All British and French Infidels, Post Your Videos Here
Yesterday, we ran the story that the UK government has decided that taking photographs of the police could be considered a crime.
They don't want you to film them, because they don't want you to catch them failing at their job of protecting you the citizen.
This video is an example of what the police do not want you to see.
First, let us be clear, this attempt to stop you from filming things which happen in the public square is a clear violation of your Free Speech.
One of the primary reasons Freedom of Speech exists, and needs to exist, is to provide the people with a counterbalance to the powers which mediate the daily life of a society; religion, government, media, and security forces.
Any power which is deemed beyond criticism becomes an unchecked power, which is then able to rob Freedom from the people in any way it sees fit.
The police are an extension of the government and are, therefore, servants of the people, not the other way around. The police, no matter what they say - whether they claim that they must not be photographed for their own protection, or whatever - are employed at the behest of the citizenry, and are therefore subject to the criticism of the citizenry.
Simply put, you are the boss of the police, the police are not the boss of you, unless you are legitimately committing a crime, and ultimately that's for the courts to decide.
This being said, it is true that if the government in the UK, or France, makes it illegal to film policemen, then many citizens will be afraid to post their videos and photographs in a public forum.
But, here's the thing, this blog is an America-based website. It is not illegal for us to post these videos. If you have footage you want the world to see, let us know in the comments section. We'll work it out, and you keep your privacy.
The first job of the government is to protect it's citizenry by enforcing the laws of the country. When our governments decide they want to cover up the fact that they aren't doing their job, it becomes our responsibility as Free men to hold the government responsible to do their job.
We the people will win in this war, whether our current governments want to go along with us, or not.
