Pufka-esque in SF

I shall from now on refer to the Kafka-esque Putinization of the country as Pufkaism. The latest example:

"Steve, a freelance photographer, was stopped while taking pictures in a San Francisco MUNI station, told that he was breaking a post-9/11 law against photographing San Francisco's public transit. He challenged the MUNI cops to name the law he was breaking, aware that such a law was unconstitutional, and they -- unsurprisingly -- couldn't identify the law. That is because there is no law. They were lying.

"So then they called the real cops, who proceeded to dress Steve down for breaking this nonexistent law -- for being a troublemaker who wanted to exercise his constitutional rights and ply his trade -- and threaten to trump up a trespassing charge and jail him for the weekend if he didn't meekly acquiesce."

I, tool would like to prevent further terrorist attacks on our country. However in this instance 9/11 was used as justification for:

• Making up a law that didn't exist
• Lying to a citizen about their rights
• Threatening the citizen with incarceration for refusing to cooperate

When the cop says "we're going to put you in jail if you don't do what we say" with no legal justification... and when you ask why, he says it's because we're at war to protect our precious freedoms... That's Pufkaism.
