According to various online
reports, police in the Canadian
province of Quebec recently warned citizens not to post surveillance footage of
their packages being stolen from their porches, etc., because it could violate the “private life” of the
perpetrator/thief.
This despite the fact that the trespasser
has violated the victim’s private life—and property—in a likely attempt to
commit another crime by stealing merchandise that others have bought and paid
for.
This is sadly, but perfectly,
illustrative of the bass-ackward world in which we now reside. Officials don’t
see anything wrong with violating law-abiding citizens’ rights by, say,
listening in on their phone calls or having them frisked and x-rayed before
allowing them to board a plane. The alphabet agencies in thrall to the Biden
administration didn’t hesitate to imprison—even without charge—numerous American
citizens who had the audacity to parade through, or outside of, the “People’s
house,” i.e. the Capitol building. Federal, state, and local police and
officials have seemingly put up cameras at every intersection. Multiple cameras
abound in every store-- and on bridges, poles and posts and other structures.
Seemingly everyone is photographed and recorded nearly everywhere.
But, by God, be aware that it is
beyond the pale to violate the privacy of perps who have violated your private
property on the way to stealing your belongings!
This is no small thing. As Thomas Mann
noted, “Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil.”
