Acting Like the KGB

A Canadian blogger arrested for “libel”, claiming that his local police act like authoritarian thugs while going about doing their jobs. In response, they raid his house with a 8 man team (you can never underestimate how dangerous those middle aged bloggers can be, and the threat their words can pose to officer safety), and seize his computer. According to Canuckistanian law, it is up to the blogger to prove that what he said is true or that he had reason to believe it’s true.

Wouldn’t a 8 man police raid and confiscation of his computer in response to the utterly horrible crime of criticizing his local police be proof enough that his local police act like authoritarian thugs while going about doing their jobs?
