Action

What? Yes, that coping with the situation deteriorating more and more in our country? drift becomes obvious anti-democratic, and catastrophic economic situation. You, I do not know, but I, impotence torments me.

is why I decided to detail here, when I find the means that I would be able to find. Feel free to send me suggestions, I will try to dig as much as I could.

An idea that I worked for a while, the citizen oversight of police activities. In other words, is it possible for a normal citizen, with no special legal authority (like press pass) to observe, film, photograph or record by any other means (in the rest of the article I would simply shoot) the action of the police identity checks, searches and actions of law enforcement (at an event, for example)? After

reading more, it appears that it is actually perfectly legal, except as defined by law.

What legal framework?

First, the forces of order are subject to the same rules as any other citizen in this area, which means you can shoot anyone, but not publish these images. This means that we must make people unrecognizable (with a blur effect, for example) if we want to make the film public. Privately, however, it is quite possible to distribute these images. So beware of Internet mailing lists, some with public records, so freely accessible, which is equivalent to a publication. The legislation governing these arrangements are the Article 9 of the Civil Code (respect privacy) and Article 226-8 Penal Code (the penalty for publishing unauthorized pictures or words someone is one year imprisonment and / or fine of € 15,000. It does not laugh!)

The scheme is complicated by a special status for representatives of law enforcement. The Article 39 sexies of the Act on Freedom of the Press specifies that it is forbidden to make public the identities of the officials of the National Police, military (and therefore the police), civilian personnel of the defense or customs officers with a mission requiring anonymity. Note that municipal police officers or prison staff are not affected. However, case law has created several exceptions to this scheme:
-events whose importance justifies them being worn by the image to the public (May 19, 2004 Judgement of the Court of Appeal of Aix Provence)
-The current events in which representatives of law enforcement officials found themselves involved in the exercise of their function (Judgement of 26 June 2000 the Court of Appeal Paris)
-Police operations directly related to a highly publicized news event ( Judgement of 20 February 2001 the Court of Cassation )
-reconstructions of criminal acts ( Judgement of 10 May 2005 Court of Cassation )
These decisions are based primarily on the Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Moreover, the decree of 27 June 2008 concerning the anonymity of certain police officials said that the police part of certain units must remain anonymous, which means it is even prohibited filming them. This is the case (I quote the text): 1 °
unit coordinating the fight against terrorism;
2 ° Under the central management of the judicial police:
- Sub-Directorate Anti-Terrorism;
- Inter-service technical assistance;
- Brigade Research and Intervention Brigade and National Crime Research and Financial Investigations national
- brigades and intervention research;
3 °, the central domestic intelligence;
4 ° Under the central management of public security groups intervention of the National Police ;
5 ° Under the central management of the Border Police Central Office for the Suppression of illegal immigration and employment of undocumented foreigners;
6 ° The research unit, support , intervention and deterrence (RAID)
7 ° Under the Prefecture of Police:
- Services Intelligence Directorate responsible for the prevention of violence, terrorism and sectarianism;
- Section Anti-Terrorism Crime Squad Officer of the Judicial Police;
- Brigade research and intervention;
8 ° The safety of the Presidency Republic

But beware, the Act of 5 March 2007 on the prevention of delinquency makes the person filming an assault accomplice of the attacker. For now, this law has not yet been used to protect police officers responsible for blunders, and will not want judges may not act in a manner so clearly contrary to fact, but theoretically, according to the letter law, the possibility exists. This text does not concern persons holding a press card, ie the professional journalists.

What can we conclude from all this jargon? It

is perfectly possible to film the police during his action. The police can not stop you, except for some anti-terrorist units and intelligence. You can not make public its records without concealing the faces of police officers (Keep the original where you can see the faces, to serve as evidence if legal action by victims of police brutality), unless filmed events are media events, as events (which are by definition public, that police also know perfectly: it was on the same principle that they have the right to film protesters). An identity check is already very serious skid to become a news event, in my opinion.

addition, police have no right to seize your equipment without a decision of a magistrate (and they need it done by a Judicial Police Officer). The destruction or degradation of materials, or erasure of the recordings are totally forbidden, of course.

sure to always ask the police if they agree to be filmed. If they refuse, it does not affect your rights and duties. If they accept, they will struggle to attack you later. Shoot the question and answer.

Why all this jargon?

These texts protect you and guarantee your rights. Know them will be very useful against police officers who are likely to play the card of bullying. Obviously it is better to avoid having anything to reproach himself also to undertake this type of action.

And now, what can you do?

FILMS!
A first prize camcorder costs about 60 €, a digital camera about 40 €, a dictaphone in the 70 €. Many mobile phones are now also able to perform these functions. Stalk abnormal behavior of the police, shoot them and put them on several video sharing sites (better to avoid putting all eggs in one basket), or send to the media and associations defending the rights of citizens. Send to victims so they can enforce their rights. Take photos, record conversations. If one monitors the police, it will help make his work more carefully, what it can of course be welcomed!

Staci Diamond Biography

I am a friend of Julian Coupat

Today three people were arrested simply because they knew Coupat Julien, who is in prison since November 2008, but no evidence exists against him. In late April, already a woman was arrested for the same "charge" (She was not even suspected of involvement in "terrorist operations" which is suspected Coupat, which are remembered, sabotage caténers track railway, which resulted in a number of delays for the SNCF ) before being released without charge being brought against her. Similarly, also today four members of a support committee charged with Tarmac were arrested for this reason alone, the head of the DCRI, the French political police, who felt that this committee, the Sabotage of the Committee of Terrorism, "was a threat ".

Accordingly, I declare be a friend of Julian Coupat .
Members of the DCRI, I will tell you my name and where you can question me on simple mail. Although I guess it is not too difficult to find, especially for you, whose job is to monitor (read: spy on) the French population. For his own good, of course!

I encourage everyone to make the same statement, being well aware that in 2009, it is quite possible that we take the word, and it all ends up behind bars. Yes, there we are!

Appointment to the Gulag ...

Essay About Hairdressing

HADOPI adopted

HADOPI law, which allows the blocking of internet access of people accused of illegally downloaded content, without any judicial process, which will create a systematic flicage Internet, has been adopted yesterday by the Parliament, and today by the Senate . This is sad news.

It created a dangerous precedent regarding the tracing activities. If we allow spying on the Internet for something as trivial, it does mean we can do this for any subject. It created another equally dangerous precedent for punishment without going through the criminal route.

And of course, that does not solve anything about illegal downloading. Technical solutions to continue downloading with impunity exist.

designers will not touch a cent more, the content sales continue to decline and will continue to impute responsibility to the "pirates" (funny word. What is the relationship between someone who downloads a few songs and pirates plundering and killing?) while it is not obvious. Reminds me of a joke: Car sales have fallen further this month. There are really tired of these pirates who illegally download cars on the Internet!


Note also the little tragi-comic (rather disgusting, actually) of the week: the debates were followed assiduously by various militant pro-global license blogging on the subject and who used the trombinoscope Assembly to identify the various stakeholders, including deputesgodillots.info , which actually loads identify members intervening but not vacant at various occupations (read his newspaper, send SMS, using his laptop ...) and who are there to vote in accordance with the directives of their party. However, on May 5, use trombinoscope was suddenly banned ! It took the Green MP calls Accoyer Martine Billard, president of the Assembly on the subject, so that its use is again permitted. A fine example of democracy in action! Obviously "they" do not want the debates and conduct of Members should be observed too closely and criticized ...

Church Invitations For Pastor Anniversary

The Paris prosecutor's office against justice!

As you may have heard, the dean of the judges of the financial center of Paris, Françoise Desset, ruled admissible action of the NGO Transparency International 3 cons African heads of state: Omar Bongo (Gabon), Denis Sassou Nguesso (Congo) and Teodoro Obiang Nguema (Equatorial Guinea). The complaint, filed in December 2008, accused of possessing a heritage in France, including real estate, incompatible with the resources of their respective countries.

It is indeed clear that these small dictators manage the economy of their country first according to their own interests and not according to the interests of their people, and we can only welcome that someone has finally found the courage to go for confrontation.

The Paris prosecutor's reaction to this decision by Judge Françoise Desset is staggering: it has to appeal the admissibility decision!

So I ask the question: the role of the Paris prosecutor's office is really to prevent justice from happening? To protect heads of state clearly corrupt? To perpetuate the principle of Françafrique, which is simply a form of looting of African countries?

Benefits Of Drinking Coconut Milk For Hair

explosion of poverty in France!

A study by the INSEE passing largely unnoticed reports on poverty in France.

While the number of people below the poverty line had increased from 7.628 million in 1996 to 6,867,000 in 2004, down by 800,000 people in 8 years, that number rose to 7.862 million in 2006 (unfortunately the most digit recently reported by INSEE), an increase of one million people below the poverty line in 2 years!

In passing, we appreciate the highly fanciful statistics of National Observatory on Poverty and Social Exclusion that although using the same amount to the poverty line (defined by a European standard 60% level median life, or 880 euros / month in 2006), arrives at conclusions diametrically opposed and continues to speak of "slight decrease" of poverty over the same period.

But do not change, eh! Liberalism is a panacea, free trade will ensure our prosperity, and relocation which are due have very direct ab-so-lu-tion nothing to do with the explosion of poverty in our country! We must continue to dismantle all public services, to privatize what can be and to cut taxes (especially the rich, who otherwise leave move to Switzerland as perfect as responsible citizens).

Especially not protectionism, even if nobody is able to explain why it's so bad, not the rule in international transfers of capital, no truly effective fight against tax havens, real machines gouge taxpayers (beyond the anecdotal, I mean. This is not tapping on a particular tax haven that will change something. What is needed is a real regulation against the principle of tax evasion and concealment, internationally), not to fight against social dumping (relocations, as well as creating unemployment and poverty West, creating a whole new generation of slaves in the country to the very flexible legislation that "benefit" as Naomi Klein makes clear in "No Logo"), not to fight against speculation (whose economic interest is , remember, no one perfectly. Nobody detract from the fact that a speculator earns millions in 10 minutes outside the speculator himself of course).

And if the rules of liberalism lead to a deadlock (which they tend to do regularly), we sit on it temporarily, and adjusted the slates at taxpayer expense (which means say, the views liquidation measures listed above: digging the debt) by using the specter of a total collapse of the economy, but after we go again, especially not to change anything! You do not change teams ... What, again?

Illusion Democratic

A press campaign and display funded by the European Parliament is seeking to boost participation in the forthcoming European elections to be held in June in all countries of the European Union. I allowed myself to copy here the visuals found there:











But who can believe in 2009 that our vote will have a real influence on issues such as GMOs, nuclear the financial market rules or security policy?

The European Parliament itself has only very limited power, most of the decisions being taken by the European Council and the European Commission. European institutions, as they were built, are in their very nature a means of circumventing effectively the democratic will of the peoples of Europe.

Moreover, like all elections, the voting system that lists the more "consensual" (read: willing to vote on all measures ultra-liberal) will get the most seats.

This campaign advertising is a real sham, where we try to make voters believe that these elections can really improve their lifestyle, influence the progress of decisions taken by European institutions, whereas it is absolutely nothing.

So what? If I had to make a proposal, I would say there is one thing to do: the non-fascist protest vote (away e me to endorse the FN vote or MPF). If small hackers find themselves Brussels with MEPs ready to counter them systematically, maybe something will eventually change. For my part, I would vote for a party whose leader recently appointed is an employee of a public company, but everyone does what he wants.

I want to say that I am not Europhobic. I am a European federation, in a word. I would like the European Union is structured as a democratic state. But this is clearly not the path we have begun to borrow which is purely a European Union economic and commercial. A Europe not at all democratic, which sits on the will of the people as a referendum on Sarkozy sits. This idea is personally unbearable.
