Indonesia Rounds Up Punks For ‘Re-Education’
In the country’s most conservative region, authorities are rounding up young punks, removing their mohawks and piercings, and and shipping them off for military drills and manners lessons to ween them from their deviant ways. Suppose your punk rocker boyfriend/girlfriend got scooped up, sent off, and came back a square? The Guardian reports:
Read more »Police in Indonesia’s most conservative province have stripped away body piercings and shaved off mohicans from 65 youths detained at a punk-rock concert because of their perceived threat to Islamic values. After replacing their “disgusting” clothes, [a local police chief] handed each a toothbrush and barked: “Use it.”
Punk rockers have complained for months about harassment, but Saturday’s roundup at a concert attended by more than 100 people was by far the most dramatic. Dozens were loaded into vans and brought to a police detention centre in the hills, 30 miles from the provincial capital, Banda Aceh, for rehabilitation, training…
The Government’s War on Cameras (Video)
Via Reason TV:
Who will watch the watchers? In a world of ubiquitous, hand-held digital cameras, that's not an abstract philosophical question. Police everywhere are cracking down on citizens using cameras to capture breaking news and law enforcement in action. In 2009, police arrested blogger and freelance photographer Antonio Musumeci on the steps of a New York federal courthouse. His alleged crime? Unauthorized photography on federal property. Police cuffed and arrested Musumeci, ultimately issuing him a citation. With the help of the New York Civil Liberties Union, he forced a settlement in which the federal government agreed to issue a memo acknowledging that it is totally legal to film or photograph on federal property. Although the legal right to film on federal property now seems to be firmly established, many other questions about public photography still remain and place journalists and citizens in harm's way. Can you record a police encounter? Can you film on city or state property? What are a photographer's rights in so-called public spaces?Read more »

Department Of Justice Declares New Orleans Police Force “A Threat To The Safety Of The Public”
“Police in the US now rival criminals, and exceed terrorists as the greatest threat to the American public.”
Yes, there are bad cops everywhere, but the New Orleans police department is another matter all together — the DoJ is handing supervision of the NOPD and jail system to federal judges following an investigation revealing that the city’s police officers are incredibly corrupt and violent, (dozens have been prosecuted for rape, arson, kidnapping, bank robberies, and murder) and citizens are arrested for little or no reason, held without charges for months, and routinely brutalized and tortured. In short, it is no exaggeration to say that the police have become a racist criminal gang terrorizing the city’s residents. The New Statesman reports:
