Woman Fined For Pic of Illegally Parked Police Car

[RW]

A Spanish woman was finded 800 Euros under the "Citizen's Protection Act" for posting a picture of a police car parked in a handicapped spot.  



Apparently Spain has restrictions on what you can post online including pics of police doing things they might not have the right to do.  I'm not sure I see that as a bad thing.

Posting photos of police breaking the law is a crime?

Hmmm, interesting.

I guess the legacy of Francisco Franco still lives on.

After the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), the fascists won with the help of Hitler & jailed their enemies in concentration camps.



Even though the war ended, many were still in jail decades afterwards, like this 1952 photo:

That is what would've happened to the rest of Europe had Hitler and the Nazis won..

I guess the Spanish Civil War is a conflict where Hitler, Mussolini & the fascists won, but no one likes to talk about it all that much.

Yep, it's fascist. Also under the act, Spaniards can be fined just for having a peaceful protest. Because criminalizing picture taking and protests is "protecting citizens".

... oh no, it's a good thing.  all police misconduct and crime should be concealed.  lol ...  ac_smile

Here's an article about how someone wanted to bring the crimes of the dicator Francisco Franco to light with his murder of 113,000 of his own countrymen;

....however he was 'suspended'  by the Spanish Supreme Court. In other words muzzled, censured.



In an odd way, fascism still lives on in Spain, and its version of democracy certainly isn't the version of one which we are familiar with.

My husband has flown out of Madrid, but he had a very different observation..



Though his stays in Spain were always stopovers.
