What is exactly an American issue? Because all the issues here are not exclusive to the US, they’re pervasive all over Europe, and as far as I know (second hand), the rest of the world as well.

What about the eu people not caring about skin colour part? Also, how is it racist to point out that people care less about this woman than they do for Thunberg because she’s not white?

Is this sarcasm? Can’t tell, I’m honestly 50/50…

Sorry if I didn’t explain correctly. Holding the camera is not considered terrorism. As I said is legal (but sharing the recording is not), but the police can tell you to stop recording and take your device, also legal. Once they’re not being recorded, if they beat you up (high probability specially if there’s not many people around) they’ll justify it by saying you attacked them first, which is the part that can be considered terrorism.

I haven’t seen, personally, this happening for recording them, but I have for other things like trying to stand by your rights during a search, intervening when they where harassing someone, asking for their badge number (legally should be visible, and they have to tell you if not. But usually doesn’t end up well)… This is Spain, but I’ve heard stories about the Italian, French, German, many east European countries’… polices and they doesn’t seem much better.

Good advice, but check the local laws first–it’s illegal to film cops in my country for example.

Edit: I didn’t mean ‘don’t do it’, I meant ‘be very careful while you do it’. Also, while technically legal to record them, the law also says that the police can make you stop recording and take your device from you. Then, in practice not in the written law, they will beat you and throw you in jail for a couple days accused of attacking a law enforcement officer (which usually carries charges of terrorism), the judge will find you guilty since police have something called ‘presumption of veracity’ here (maybe not if your rich enough idk, all the people I’ve seen in this situation were poor). This is all in an EU country. Stay safe out there, pigs are dangerous everywhere.

You’re not far off. We don’t call it ‘federal government’ but in practice it’s exactly that, in the same line that we call the prime minister ‘presidente’.

All the things I’ve read say that a majority of tipped workers (as well as the general population) prefer the current tips system. Maybe it’s not true, but looking at the comments here it seems accurate.
