introducing millions of 14-year old boys to “officer friendly”
Dave Rock (of Davesfarm, my guilty pleasure on youtube) had a raid recently. Well, maybe that’s the wrong term. He had an inspection of his property by an agent of the local government for unlicensed vehicles. Of course, for the inspectors personal safety, he’s allowed police protection, and he got it. Dave says the entire Lucan Ontario police force came out for a warrentless look-see. They road-blocked the entrance and apparently fanned out and searched the place. Dave made two videos of the whole over-reaction. To the officers credit, not one got threatened with arrest, no one got tasered, and no one demanded that the video equipment be shut off.
I’m unclear of the motivation from the government here. His place is out in the middle of nowhere. His neighbours don’t seen upset, and he seems to have found a productive niche producing videos that people like to watch and he gets micro-payments in ad revenue from. There’s allegedly a “hater’s club”, that allegedly have their own page where they allegedly post highly redacted stuff with the code word “alleged” all over the place, allegedly as a remedy against being sued for libel.
It’s being reported that the Bylaw enforcement officer has been flooded with so many emails from pissed-off teenagers that he’s had to shut his address down.
