The leaked ACTA agreement!
Soon to be copy pasted into a law near you.

“It provides for criminalization of copyright infringement, granting law enforcement the powers to perform criminal investigation, arrests and pursue criminal citations or prosecution of suspects who MAY have infringed on copyright”
