  tell the dog to get a warrant

  the dog is an agent of the state. shouldn’t matter if it breaks free to conduct its own investigation. the dog needs a warrant as much as an officer needs one. if we allow non-humans to freely conduct investigations without requiring a warrant, then law enforcement will train animals to do their job, thus deleting the 4th amendment.

• On the post: Japanese Media Spots The Trick After Latest In-N-Out Trademark Tourism Popup

  

  zeiche ( profile ), 11 Jul, 2023 @ 09:10pm

  techdirt grinds axes against companies that try to protect trademarks in countries that they don’t do business in. that isn’t the purpose of trademarks and techdirt has been pretty consistent about that, regardless what company is being shitty. in-and-out shouldn’t take it personally.

  just because the software nailed a politician doesn’t mean it was wrong. perhaps a deeper look into their lives is warranted. the software, after all, did say they were criminals.
