Well what do you know, burning a poppy gets you arrested. This is seriously the most retarded reason to arrest someone. It's almost like there is nothing else to do, like, well, I don't know, hunting killers maybe. On the other hand, you have to start somewhere if you want citizens to get used to ridiculous accusations.
