And Jennifer Pawluck \u2014 not that this even matters \u2014 didn\u2019t even draw the anti-cop graphic in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>While Montreal does have a certain set of harsh laws in place\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcgilldaily.com\/2011\/09\/montreal-cracks-down-on-graffiti\/\" target=\"_blank\">designed to fine graffiti artists and the building owners who do not properly deal with graffiti<\/a>\u00a0on their buildings, those are laws set in place to keep Canada\u2019s most Euorpean city looking clean and pretty. But the idea that someone who is walking past a controversial graffiti stencil, who then takes out their iPhone, grabs a photo and publishes it to their Instagram account should be arrested is completely ridiculous. It also speaks to the level of fearful internet monitoring that\u2019s clearly going on in Montreal right now.<\/p>\n<p>Montreal\u2019s political climate is heated, to say the least. That\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vice.com\/en_uk\/vice-news\/teenage-riot-montreal---part-1\" target=\"_blank\">been clear for a while now<\/a>, and things became even more intense once\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lilianradovac\/status\/315336790221402112\" target=\"_blank\">Anarchopanda got arrested<\/a>. However, the standard that this anti-cop Instagram fiasco could set for police intervention, when it comes to social media, is a scary one; especially during times of social unrest and protest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vice.com\/en_uk\/read\/why-did-a-student-in-montreal-get-arrested-for-an-instagram-post?\" target=\"_blank\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday night, news broke that a 20-year-old \u00e2\u20ac\u0153supporter of the student movement\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, Jennifer Pawluck was arrested in Montreal for posting a picture to Instagram.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":31374,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,18,1616],"tags":[49],"class_list":{"0":"post-31373","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-human-rights","8":"category-latest-news","9":"category-usa-news","10":"tag-usa-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31373"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31373\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31373"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31373"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
