    You mistake is assuming the law is being applied in good faith.
    Of course hailing a tram is obviously different than a Nazi salute to anyone.
    But the objective is not to detect Nazis , it’s to find an excuse to harass and intimidate people.
    This is just another tool in their belt.

    With a new law, you should always think of how it’s going to be like if applied by the most bigoted racist police officer in existence. And what mechanisms you have in place to stop that officer.

      Your mistake is talking out your arse.

      We had literal fucking nazis demonstrating and throwing salutes with no way to gut the little cunts for it. It pissed a LOT of people off. There was a whole damned thing about banning iconography and salutes that has been going on for over a year. Which you would know if you were aware of what actually goes on down here.

      We want this fucking law because we don’t tolerate nazi shits.

      The cops can get you for looking funny, they don’t need fake hitler salute claims
