Poor Orion is probably reeling from the shock that comes with realizing that his “Alpine Paradise” of a country isn’t at all as wonderful as he believed (or pretended?) it to be.
Actually seems to be rotting from the inside out:
Perhaps he should worry more about his own “country,” and spend less time criticizing others’.
Oh no, we have privacy laws that, gasp, protect citizens privacy!
Our policemen do not leak facts , not even to foreign media!
They, horrible dictu, politely, no less!, those bastards, decline to disclose informations that could endanger ongoing investigations because they are forbidden to do so by law!
What is really beyond forgiveness is that they respect peoples privacy so much that they do not take peoples life apart unless they have first class reasons to do so.
I apologize that I do not live in a police state, we will start to practice goose steps asap-
Hell we might even shoot some kids that grow weed in their basements.
Until then however people do not fear the Austrian police and generally cooperate with them. Hence, less than 100 murders per year and close to 90% are solved.
There seem to be countries were paramilitary police act like an occupying force though:

PS: In case you don´t get it, a big yay!!! to the Austrian police, those corrupt lovable bastards.
Austria, home of the free, land of the brave.
You, as an American, could not possibly understand.
He he. It sounds like you’re on the verge of tears there, son.
“Don’t leak facts,” huh? “Don’t do shit” (unless it’s for a bribe) is more like it.
Hey, BTW, what’s the child sexual abuse rate like in Austria? [/quote]
See, as an American you can not possibly understand that freedom means putting the government on a leash.
Do not worry, there is a whole Austrian school dedicated to that subject.
Plus, the sexual abuse rate is most definitely higher in the US since your laws regarding sexuality are a tad more inspired by puritan mores.
Which of course also means that our government does keep its nose out of our private lives.
