    Hmm. Not saying this was justified, but I’m guessing it’s illegal to dox the prime minister, and shutting off the power could have been to grab his devices before he could delete his hard drives.

    No excuse for confiscating the cameras though.

      Any politician agreeing on creating a surveillance state should be ok with their info being public when everyone elses is. And then using cops as paramilitary for retribution is just chef’s kiss on exactly how dystopian and mismanaged governments have become.
