Shocked Max only got a 10 second for that..

Class action authorized against 9 police forces over random stops of racialized people in c/canada@lemmy.ca

One would argue almost anything is a privilege and not a right. Would you be okay with forcing someone to comply with searches if they had to maintain a WHMIS certification, or a smart-serve? I mean servers often under-report their tips, so we should allow the CRA to search their home for cash at any time.

It's crazy as the police will use the power to pull anyone over for any reason, to target minorities.

What's amazing to me is that society views carding as wrong, rightfully so in my opinion.

However our laws allow the police to stop anyone driving at any time for no reason and demand ID.. and a breath sample, upto and including two hours after you've driven.

I wish we didn't live in a "papers please" country.

CloudFlare usage on Lemmy.ca.. (lemmy.ca)
 

I was wondering if there was really a good reason for CloudFlare to be used? I understand Lemmy.ca has dedicated hardware in a datacenter. Seems odd to pipe all our data through a US company as we are in a trade war.
