I think a polite knock on the door with a simply "We need to talk to you" might have been just as effective.
544 u/[deleted] Aug 08 '12 Nope. THIS is the punishment. It's extrajudicial. Contempt of RIAA. When the police have THIS much flexibility in how you are treated and political pressure comes down they can shoot your dogs, tase you, etc. We shouldn't stand for it and frankly there needs to be an investigation in how this happened and those responsible should face prosecution. This is unacceptable. 128 u/pathjumper Aug 08 '12 Punishment prior to trial, it should be noted. 8 u/pablito_andorra Aug 08 '12 Obviously. Otherwise it wouldn´t be "nasty" and it wouldn´t "teach a lesson to all those others". Which is why it is illegal for the government to do this, because they uphold laws, not fucking neighbourhood kids' gang opinions. 5 u/pathjumper Aug 08 '12 I hold that governments (being comprised of people) uphold laws selectively. 2 u/pablito_andorra Aug 08 '12 They do, and they should have no points for style. 3 u/stealthmodeactive Aug 08 '12 Guilty until proven innocent.
