A website can wipe itself from history? That seems like a major security issue.
Do you mean something you verified is happening or something you assumed is happening? You can go look at the site OP linked and find out what is happening and if it's a "major security issue". In this case, after user click/intervention, it renames the current history entry to "New Tab". This is not a security issue at all.

Any large city's PD is going to be controversial. From the experience of people close to me who work with police, the VPD are better run and have more programs like Car 33 than the RCMP in neighbouring jurisdictions. Many of the perceived issues come from (I'll say it) corrupt judges who let out career petty criminals on a bail-less "promise to appear." Some officers report arresting the same person twice in one shif…
VPD has become notably more controversial after Jim Chu stepped down, before that it was notable how professional they were for a North American police department
There's this nice blog [3] that explains why they chose Shift instead of other keys, and also gives a nice overview of the pattern.

But when the Vancouver PD are beating you up, you wont have time to load the page to locate the quick escape button.
That's funny, right before this I was just reading about how some idiot I knew from back in the day beat the shit out of some stranger on the SkyTrain for his headphones. Maybe it's time to realize how fucked Vancouver is and that the cops aren't the problem

In 2025 Vancouver had the lowest violent crime rate in 23 years. Not that there’s no crime of course but I don’t see that it really constitutes Vancouver being “fucked”.
Brilliant feature, well done Vancouver PD. A very serious boss mode. Lotus 1-2-3 wouldn't look quite right here but weather.ca is plausible.
This feature has a long and storied history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boss_key
reminds me of boss mode in leisure suit larry 1
