Police brutality in Amsterdam, The Netherlands This Italian tourist dared to cycle in the wrong direction, on his bike.

Apparently enough reason for Dutch authorities to roughen him up a bit... Dutch police are well known to ignore true crimes, to prevent dangerous situations for themselves. Instead, they mostly harass citizens for speeding or minor offenses like this. Being one of the smallest countries in the world, The Netherlands is also known to have the lowest respect for privacy and the world's highest number of phone taps by the government.
