    some other countries have more strict laws; and some states in the US have a documented history of pretending to “care” about rights but “whoops you’re dead.”

      Oh believe me, I wasn’t praising the US. I think “burn it down and try again” is becoming a more viable option for political reform every day.

      But no country on earth should have a law that can be interpreted in such a way that a citizen can be charged with terrorism for holding a camera. That’s not “more strict,” that’s runaway oppression.
