Recently-Passed Danish Law Allows for 'pre-emptive' Arrest and Detention:
In a move that environmental activists and civil libertarians are describing as "deeply worrying", the Danish parliament yesterday passed legislation that gives police the power of 'pre-emptive arrest' ahead of the UN climate talks which begin in Copenhagen on December 7. The new measures will allow officers to arrest and detain anyone for up to 12 hours who they believe is liable to break the law in the near future.
Hmm....now if the world is supposed to be saved at Copenhagen and a new era of peace, civility and unicorns is supposed to be ushered in by the industrialized nations forfeiting their sovereignty this month, what dastardly, black-hearted villain could be opposed to the Danes giving police the power to pre-emptively arrest?
Maybe groups like Climate Justice Action, who fear that the Copenhagen Conference won't do enough to cripple the developed and developing nations.

Luckily we learned that Canada is much more dastardly than we are in the Dopenhagen mess, Thank You Monbiot, you douchebag.
