What in the fuck is this? There's no way in hell anyone would approve a law like this if not to hide police actions

Link me the GoFundMe for the guillotine and I'll contribute from Europe

Just for the record, axes are less expensive, more portable and generally more efficient.

Perhaps, but a guillotine is a monument, a rallying cry, and a clear and obvious warning.

It’s not meant to be practical ;)

There we go. That's capitalism. We can have justice and transparency as long as someone can make a profit off it

How can this be legal except that it’s a rightwing state and rational governance doesn’t apply.

If there's a limit of $750 for a single request can someone just submit a request for all of the footage from every camera for an entire year

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Your request has been denied as it is overly broad. Please narrow your request to one case and re-submit after paying the $750 application fee again.
