I Think It Is Time We Got Involved.

I just read a news story that just pissed me off. It seems that the Cops can now down load your mobile devices in the field. It is buried in the link, but some cops in Maryland just got these devices. I am going to stop carrying my cell phone. FUCK THE PIGS!!!

We were required to have a search warrant to download data. I can't envision a traffic officer downloading data. I think the reporter got it wrong

It's not an error. Some agencies/jurisdictions, are doing this now. They can't monitor your content, but they can get WHO you called, WHEN you called, and the NUMBER you called - no warrant required. This is "metadata", and it's the same thing the NSA is getting on all of us.

"Your metadata is now my data" Say hello to "1984"

The Patriot act and others like it, have substantially broadened the scope of legal intrusion by the gov't, into our lives.

WAKE UP, PEOPLE! We need to repeal most, if not all, of the provisions in these laws. Conservatives and Libertarians - hell, everyone concerned with individual liberty, have been talking about this for years already.

I have heard dozens upon dozens of people complain about the Patriot Act, and not one of them has been conservative.

One of my biggest disappointments with Obama is that he kept the Patriot Act and keeps the NSA bullshit going.

I don't have a problem if they're busting people who cause accidents 'cause they're screwing around with their cell phones. The guy who totaled my 2 week old car was fucking with his phone. It was my word against his. I should've sued his cocky ass.

So leave your phones at home! All the better for the other drivers on the road.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court said on Monday it would not review a ruling by a secretive intelligence court that authorized government access to millions of Verizon Communications Inc (VZ.N) phone-call records.

Why? The law is in place to direct camera revenue to limited areas, and it fits right in with the militarization of police forces around the country.

I think fargon misinterpreted,
Quote:
...and the purchase of a $12,083 mobile device used to crack the passwords and grab the data from mobile phones while in the field.
to mean every cop will be doing this, but it continues...
Quote:
"The upgrade will allow police investigators to pull data from the most technically advanced cell phones and tablets," Salisbury Police Major David Meienschein wrote in a September 5 memo. "The Cellebrite UFED Touch is a device that is used to perform data extractions from cell phones, tablets, iPads, GPS and other electronic devices. Investigators have been able to obtain stored and deleted data files to include but not limited to: text messages, photographs, videos and contact lists."
Bold mine.

Keep in mind, the cop on the "beat" doesn't need any high tech bullshit to kick the shit out of you and throw your ass in jail for obstruction, resisting, or looking suspicious.

I didn't expect this level of outrage-able news would come as an aside in this small source.

Well, if the cops are going to pull this shit during routine traffic stops, they're going to get reined in by the courts quick enough. On the other hand, someone could truly consent to a search of their phone to prove their own innocence. In that case, getting it done by a certified device, instead of a human cop, would be a good thing.

You know, it's a shame about Ed,
Oh, it was, That was really a shame,
To go so suddenly like that,
He was dying for years,
Sure,
But the end was very, very sudden,

He was in intensive care for eight weeks,
But I mean the very end, when he actually died,
That was extremely sudden,
