...and once again, people are lining up to give up their rights, explaining (as if they know anything) that the police MUST know something, otherwise why would they disable cellular communication AND begging the question and IMPLICITLY giving police that authority.
Boston PD does not have the authority to shut down cell towers. All they can do is "ask" the carriers to do so. All you who are sheepling in support of this are giving the police these draconian powers THEY DON'T RIGHTLY HAVE.
Let's just add this: "But think of the children!" "If this only saves one life... it's worth it." It doesn't, it won't, and it isn't.
The reason to give up your rights isn't "because security" nor "because police" nor "because terrorism." And for those who say "Too soon... let's let them take away our rights in the name of security and we'll review later..." there is no later. When you open Pandora's box of giving LEP powers they don't otherwise have, they _never_ give them back.
NO there is NO software out there to brick your phone if they try to break in.
Police State powers should not extend beyond a cursory inspection of the person's possessions. That means "item - one cellphone" and put it back down, not attempt to get data from it.
As for the question "why the XXXX does a phone need to retain..." it's really begging too many questions. The fact is that in retaining WiFi associations and cell-tower locations a phone is able to connect quicker. As for the 659 geolocation points, some of those were likely in the EXIF data on the stored pictures.
"This is a problem in the software developing side." No, this is not a problem at all, and tangential to the topic.
Seems to me if you "don't really care" about the topic, don't understand the technology, and just want to whine about "the software developing side[sic]" you should go back to what you were doing before your rant.
I know it sounds good to quote Cisco's new figures, which is likely what WVA paid.
The routers are available on the 2ndary market for $4.5-$5.5K each.
So the real question becomes:
How could WVA bypass proper process and give Cisco $20K each for $5K routers they did not need?
Sure, there's economies of scale of buying all the same thing, and if they were paying the used price only some of those would be oversell compared to a $1-$2K 2000 series router.

Kindly take your multi-personality-disorder self and go all the way back to the third grade. That way you can learn that words that sound the same (your, you're, it's, its, there, their, they're) don't mean the same thing. You'll also learn sentence diagramming, which will help your illiteracy as you'll see verbs really ARE required in a sentence.

Services providers such as Google and Facebook use a network of geodiverse servers throughout the world. Regularly, data that are given to one server are synchronized to another server in another datacenter, another city, and even another country.
If a putative plaintiff is not shown harm by his data shared between his posting in Skokie with it showing up on a server in Beijing, plaintiff would have a hard time showing that the same data, on the same server, being accessed by the same defendant (e.g google) is violating the wiretap laws by doing so from a different "service." If they refile this one these lawyers are the only ones making bank.
He claimed to only be part of an answering service, and yet, when I gave him my company's name he "couldn't find it" meaning they have access to a list of everyone they mailed.
He said he did not represent the claimant... just an answering service. I let him know my company represents lots of customers in our region and want to speak with an attorney about it.
He took my name and number.
I look forward to speaking with someone who is an officer of the court.
Well written. Don't rush to write daily, but if everything you write is of this quality of THINKING, EXPRESSING, and ANALYZING, by all means.
Also, I don't have any autistic friends or family or I'd say "Oh how cute, you're autistic. I have a XXXXX who's just like you." I don't. They're all sheep.
There's no "grey area"... the law is clear. What's "grey" is how the powers that be (the US Govt.) misapplies whichever section of the law, trades civil charges for criminal charges, "seizes" (steals) domain names, etc.
The grey area is where the US Govt. isn't held accountable for its actions. The grey area is where its "ICE" steals domain names and websites and revenue. The grey area is where this is perfectly ok and nobody dares comment on it.
The rabid elephant in the room is the US Govt and its ICE goon squad. They, and their puppet masters the MPAA and RIAA need to be taken out front and shot and left for dead. That's why they're working hard to eliminate the 2nd Amendment... so they won't have to deal with any threats to their holy mission to stamp out anything Hollywood didn't decide was how things are done 60 years ago.
Finding the answer took less time than asking the question.
Explaining it to you took more also.
Now you get the chance to show whether you're a man "oops, my bad, I should have googled first" or a hicktard "How darr yaz tellz me to googalz, why I otter hitch up me buggie and come beet down yar door."
From IMDB:
Judge Chamberlain Haller: Once again, the communication process has broken down between us. It appears to me that you want to skip the arraignment process, go directly to trial, skip that, and get a dismissal. Well, I'm not about to revamp the entire judicial process just because you find yourself in the unique position of defending clients who say they didn't do it.

Samsung put out a press release so we should just win the case right now. No need for a trial or a jury or finders of fact or law or anything. Give it us. Give it us now.

Re: "Anecdotal"
You've missed the point of the article.

It's about news stories citing sources that used flawed methodology without checking it. Instagram is just the instant case.

Wiretap Fail
Services providers such as Google and Facebook use a network of geodiverse servers throughout the world. Regularly, data that are given to one server are synchronized to another server in another datacenter, another city, and even another country.
If a putative plaintiff is not shown harm by his data shared between his posting in Skokie with it showing up on a server in Beijing, plaintiff would have a hard time showing that the same data, on the same server, being accessed by the same defendant (e.g google) is violating the wiretap laws by doing so from a different "service." If they refile this one these lawyers are the only ones making bank.

Misuse of seized property
If the government seizes your car, they impound and store it. They do not get to use it.
The the government seizes your house, they place a cute yellow and black tape around it. They do not get to use it.
When the US government seizes your domain name -- unlawfully, some would claim -- they put up a site. They use it. THAT is unlawful.
The US government's obsession with removing rights of individuals has become a loathsome self-growing disease.
ICE and DHS and all the other uniformed cop-wannabes are now abusing as many rights as they can under the guise of protecting the United States.
We need protection from our overbearing government.

Domain name seizures and criminal charges must stop
There's no "grey area"... the law is clear. What's "grey" is how the powers that be (the US Govt.) misapplies whichever section of the law, trades civil charges for criminal charges, "seizes" (steals) domain names, etc.
