Remember one month ago Italian police seized an extremely dangerous pla letter opener and a teenager’s printer?
They’re back
First they seized “a factory” of PLA knuckles: https://www.ildolomiti.it/cronaca/2026/un-15enne-e-un-13enne-producevano-tirapugni-con-le-stampanti-3d-della-scuola-hanno-anche-minacciato-un-compagno-che-voleva-denunciarli (a 13 years old kid printed multiple copies with the school’s printer)
Now they went to the home of another middle schooler to seize his printer because he printed a prop from assassin’s Creed: https://www.rainews.it/tgr/bolzano/articoli/2026/02/lame-stampate-in-3d-sequestrate-in-una-scuola-di-bolzano-eb67732d-a7a1-4eac-842b-a0bf7a87e937.html
I feel much safer now that those factories of dangerous weapons are now seized
That is refreshingly non-fascist
yeah its just old school snitch bitch action
There’s nothing wrong with snitching if someone is unduly threatening you.
The article actually said the kid was threatened because wanted to snitch
Still wrong to threaten them. I don’t know about the Italian context but elsewhere there’s been lots LF news about kids killing or maiming people
Of course. But seizing 3D printers will do absolutely nothing to help with that.
Do Italian police have ridiculously over inflated budget and need to make it look like they’re doing something? Because this really doesn’t seem like a situation that needed police intervention.
