$5000 fines for protesting government policy, $10,000 fines for sharing information about "illegal" protests on Facebook. Licensed journalists harassed by police and told they will be fined if they don't leave because they're outside illegally. Etc... Are you sure it isn't a police state at this point? Because if that were anywhere else I'm pretty sure we'd call it a police state.
