Scariest thing that I have read yet, and it just pertains to a stupid anti-trapping bill. Pay attention to the part where the government is going to pay informants 1/2 of the fine levied.

The Soviets used this extensively. The rats learn quickly how to become professional confession collectors.

They have the same system in France.

Drive a flashy car? Just be careful, your neighbor may report you for tax fraud. Not because you did comit fraud. But because you stuck your nose out.

An aquaintence had her farm raided by the police because of an informant. The police even used a helicopter.

She was clean, but they put her through a physical ordeal, including court time.

As a result, the rich are cautious about how they display their money. They’ll buy an optioned out VW, instead of an Audi for example.

When you make citizens enemies of each other, it’s harder for those citizens to band together against the government.

I would also like to warn that the bill itself is insanity. Banning connibear traps?

You can't control beavers without connibear traps. Period.

If you don't control beavers, many city water treatment systems fail. Period.

Water quality would be degraded so fast you can't believe it.

Exactly. Both sides are teeming with useful idiots. On the Left they’ve been brainwashed into thinking the Right is uneducated, racist, sexist and violent while the Right has been instructed that anybody that didn’t vote for Trump is a commie.

Reality is we are in a class war being waged from on top against the middle/upper-middle class. Both sides duking it out on social media and occasionally in the streets have far more in common with each other than they do with the people pulling their strings.

The government needs to be afraid of the people, not the other way around.

When the government here starts getting snitch reports and harassing people who have done nothing wrong, the victims must be bold enough to tell the government GFY. Make it tough on them to come after us.

I can't tell you the amount of old barns across this country that have traps buried in them from 200 years ago. Now everyone has to go clean out his barn to be in compliance? How about the one hanging in the family style restaurant that the owner probably doesn't even know what it is? Will be be fined because some twat rats on him for the cash?

Many exSoviet citizens will flat out tell you that the Chekists were the worst part of living under communism.
