The longer you ask a liberal to justify their democratic institutions, the further away they will place the locus of liberal civil order away from material relations of authority. law becomes lawless. norms become broken. institutions become destitute. media becomes prevaricating—finally voters suck

Assistant Commissioner McFadden sounds very much like he's prevaricating.

I very strongly suspect that this bloke was being chased by the cops just because he wasn't wearing a helmet.

But, they might think up a better reason, in the next day or two ...

Nothing in the First Amendment prohibits disinformation or misinformation. under a strict textualist reading, people should have a First Amendment to lie, disseminate, prevaricate, or fabricate about anything they want to. Including situations with like elections. Doesn't say elections are special.
