To avoid being filmed, the police go straight to the circuit breaker panel. This post will be in English, because there is obviously a lot of interest in what happened to me yesterday. I’m a libertarian Danish privacy activist and former police officer and I’ve been doing activism for about 15 years. I got little time to think about my arrest and the action of the masked police who broke down my door without any prior warning. The preface to the story is that I published “My Two Favorite Numbers” in a sort of roundabout and (I think) humorous way by writing out 10 digit and 8 digit numbers with letters. I didn’t say what they were saying, but they had the social security number and phone number of Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. I also published a screenshot of me trying to interview Mette Frederiksen on Kiss app, asking her about her desire to ban encryption (CSA) and introduce mass surveillance by giving police intelligence services access to all kinds of information (medical journals, social media posts, DNA registers for research, etc.). This resulted in armed and masked police breaking down my door and arresting me and I had no chance to open the door for them. When two masked men dressed in civilian clothes entered the premises, one of them immediately went to the circuit breaker panel to turn off the power to my router. Then they deleted my Google Nest cameras – because they knew the cameras had local storage. This way they could avoid seeing the video of the (in my opinion) illegal arrest. The filming was done just moments before the power cut. I have video of me asking him about the charges – and he refused to tell me (which is illegal). But I can’t reach him because they’ve taken the cameras. I’m not even sure if it’s legal or not. Filming of police is (nominally) completely legal in Denmark. This way it’s possible to know what happened and it’s not just your word against it. Denmark and the West are moving in the wrong direction and that makes me sad.
