Justice Minister Ivo Opstelten woke up early yesterday morning. He had a vision.''Wouldn't it be great if we could turn back time to the days of respect, diligent labour, good old cheese production and silence in the streets?'' First action: he proposed legislation that enables the Dutch police to hack any computer they like, whenever they like.

If you wake up one morning and your Twitter or Facebook account has been shut down, you know you crossed a line. Ivo's line.

Do you know those signs in the streets of New York that say: ''Don't even think about parking here''?

I parked there and I didn't even think about it.

In the past ten years, 30.000 people have been unjustly incarcerated in the Netherlands. Today, citizens in prison on preventive arrest actually outnumber those convicted of a crime.
