In 2014, a protestor at an anti-fascist rally in Vienna was sentenced to 12 months of jail, for alleged participation in violent action.
Among the evidence that was held against him was using an non-registered prepaid card. Even though that was entirely legal at the time, it was held against him as evidence that we was actively engaged in obfuscating his tracks, which meant, obviously, that he had planned to commit crimes. To add to the absurdity of this case, this was before the EU eliminated roaming charges, so lots of people bought disposable sim cards when traveling aboard (as he did, coming from Germany) for the simple reasons of saving telco charges.
