  I wish I had the power to rule on criminal activities, and have my position be affirmed by myself, therefore voiding any loaw I may have broken.

  labelling issues

  So they label and advertise their water as having 0 calories/additives/etc, and want to claim that it's special? It's like root beer advertising it has 0 caffeine (normally root beer has no caffeine, unless added on purpose)...

  compared to..

  Compared to someone setting off a breifcased sized nuke in New York city, random stop and checks by the PD isn't a big issue.
  
  Compared to a North Korean style dictorship blended with with some Stalin-esque purges, summarily executing the random politician isn't that big of an issue
  
  It's the government's new game, sounds fun... See how many you can come up with!

  Constitution-Free Zone? You mean the US constitution doesn't apply withing these borders? I thought something had changed since I last went there...

  Here's the deal they'll offer as a settlement:

You get to stay there for the rest of your life. Included in this package are 3 meals a day, some TV channels, an excercise room, a nice bed, a freindly* roommate, and much much more"

  not helping

  "Police say when they approached Morris Friday, he gave a false name and spit in an officer's face."
  
  I can't tell the exact timing based on that one line, but all I can think of is the officers coming up to him, buddy saying "No, I'm not Jesean Morris, I'm Bob Belcher ::spiting noise::". I dount that would help his case

  Re: Button Press Too Hard? Try This One Easy Fix!

  Or, as a space saving initiative, store the past 10 minutes at 30/60FPS 720p quality, and the the rest save it as the standard security footage (10 fps @720p for quality?) even at 10FPS there should be enough to see pretty much everything that can have happened, just be a bit jittery, but saving 66-84% ish of the storage space

  tables turned?

  If I (It at a multination corp) were to use my access to systems and say, look up what other people are getting paid, I know that I would be fired before I could even blink. However, a cop goes and finds out highly confidential data (at one point didn't they want to intergrate health records into the PD systems?) about some "random" women and I bet all he'll get is paid leave (sounds like a nice vacation for him and his new GF who he knows has 10 parking/traffic violations in the past 15 years). Must be nice
