Flag burning on the Norwegian Constitution Day
Burning the national flag is not illegal in Norway (since 2008), however, the police say they will refer this case to the police attorney who will decide on charges.
To quote the police: “We have spoken to the people involved and told them this action is very inappropriate, and people find it offensive. (…) Our [police] lawyer will be looking into the case to see what we can do”
So, it seems the police now have the authority to prosecute purely based on morals.
UPDATE:
It seems that the police have discovered that you cannot charge people with a non-crime, so they’ve decided to wait until a citizen reports them.

Michael Hayden Gleefully Admits: We Kill People Based On Metadata
Of course knowing the content of a call can be crucial to establishing a particular threat.

As NSA General Counsel Stewart Baker has said, “metadata absolutely tells you everything about somebody’s life. If you have enough metadata, you don’t really need content.” When I quoted Baker at a recent debate at Johns Hopkins University, my opponent, General Michael Hayden, former director of the NSA and the CIA, called Baker’s comment “absolutely correct,” and raised him one, asserting, “We kill people based on metadata.”

A Riddle Wrapped In a Mystery Inside an Enigma
The insight is this: our government is now dealing with the citizenry the same way that the British dealt with the Nazis: treating them as an external existential threat, spying on them, and taking pains to obfuscate the source of the information that they use to target their attacks.
Twerk Island
A guy wants $1m dollars to create a movie about a twerking competition… (TIL the fact that my spellchecker doesn’t recognize twerking as a real word)
