• On the post: Tenth Circuit: No Immunity For Cops Who Protected An Abusive Fellow Officer Right Up Until He Murdered His Ex-Wife

  I'm amazed it was actually the lower court that denied QI in the first place. Usually it is the appeals courts that have to do this.

• On the post: Devin Nunes' Lawyer, Steven Biss, Finally Gets Sanctioned In Wacky Defamation Case

  

  Norahc ( profile ), 14 Jul, 2021 @ 05:15pm

  It would be nice to see Biss finally stop filing frivolous lawsuits,

  Why do you hate my popcorn futures so much?

• On the post: Police Union Sues Kentucky City's Mayor, Claiming New No-Knock Warrant Ban Violates Its Bargaining Agreement

  

  Norahc ( profile ), 13 Jul, 2021 @ 06:23am

  Let me get this straight...the group with the most guns at the scene, the group which believes they are the only one sufficiently trained to handle guns, the group with the body armor and bullet proof shields, and the group with the military armored vehicles is the same group that is now claiming they need to intentionally make a warrant service MORE dangerous in the name of safety?

  Somebody needs to start drug testing the FOP...then they can be on the receiving end of their favored no-knock warrant.

  Claiming His Own Government Violated The Constitution

  Anybody with one working brain cell knows his government violated the Constitution.

• On the post: Facebook Is Banning Anyone Charged With Participating In Capitol Hill Insurrection

  Re:

  I'm of the same viewpoint as Mr Stone, with the additional caveat that the actions of FB will add more fuel to the fire of the right wing's deplatforming claims. FB has now created a double standard of who they kick off their platform, which they are completely free to do. Unfortunately I'm not sure FB thought this one through or did and just don't care about how it looks.

• On the post: 'Press X To Apply Fourth Amendment:' Documents Show How GrayKey Brute Forces IOS Passwords

  

  Norahc ( profile ), 30 Jun, 2021 @ 02:39pm

  Why do I get the feeling that instead of pressing X to apply the 4th Amendment, law enforcement would rather press ctrl-x instead?

• On the post: 2nd Circuit Upholds Non-Monetary Sanctions Against Copyright Troll Richard Liebowitz

  

  Norahc ( profile ), 29 Jun, 2021 @ 06:47am

  Righthaven: We're the best copyright trolls ever.

  Prenda: You're not even in the big leagues yet.

  Liebowitz: Hold my beer.

• On the post: Attorney General Says He'll Support Legislation That Bans The DOJ From Targeting Reporters During Leak Investigations

  

  Norahc ( profile ), 29 Jun, 2021 @ 06:42am

  Yeah that will work. The DOJ will abide by a law when it refuses to abide by the Constitution.

• On the post: Cable Giant Altice Demonstrates Why A Lack Of Broadband Competition Matters

  

  Norahc ( profile ), 28 Jun, 2021 @ 12:04pm

  Altice told Ars that it is changing its cable upload speeds to bring them "in line with other ISPs and aligned with the industry.

  Nice of them to openly admit to price fixing and violating the Sherman Act.

• On the post: Marco Rubio Jumps To The Head Of The Line Of Ignorant Fools Pushing Dumb Social Media Regulation Bills

  

  Norahc ( profile ), 28 Jun, 2021 @ 11:59am

  Which one of Rubio's staffers fell down on the job and let him near the internet again?

• On the post: DOJ Asks DC Court To Compel Decryption Of Device Seized In A Capitol Raid Case

  Re:

  Sounds good right up until the cops figure out what you did and charge you with destruction of evidence in an effort to make new case law against your "insane cop proof mode".

• On the post: Shake Shack Manager Sues NYPD Officers, Union Reps For Falsely Claiming His Business Sold Cops Poisoned Shakes

  Re:

  More defendants for Devin Nunes to file a lawsuit against. A Californian representative suing a bunch of NYPD on behalf if his family's Iowa dairy farm in Virginia courts. Sounds like a grade school geography lesson

  Re: Dead horses and already settled law?

  The government doesn't believe in already settled law unless it helps them.

  Re: Re:

  The fundamental difference is who is unlocking it. Your file cabinet analogy fails because the government can open the file cabinet (ie forcing the lock open, cutting it off, hiring a locksmith, etc...) without the defendant doing it for them.

• On the post: No, 'Big Tech' Should Not Give 'Big Telecom' Billions Of Dollars For No Reason

  A: Big telco's support it.

  Re:

  What public benefit was gained from storing a useless vehicle for so long?

  Because they're going to charge Timbs storage fees to get his car back?

  So if a person doesn't submit their DNA to these companies, and they "going DNA dark"?

• On the post: Oatly Sues PureOaty For Trademark And Trade Dress Infringement

  

  Norahc ( profile ), 12 Jun, 2021 @ 03:30pm

  Lawsuits like these only prove that the proverbial moron in a hurry is way smarter than some people running companies.

• On the post: Ring Will Now Require Law Enforcement Requests For Camera Footage To Be Made Publicly

  

  Norahc ( profile ), 09 Jun, 2021 @ 05:17pm

  Publicly asking for assistance or obtaining a warrant...that's going to let killers and child molesters get away with their dastardly crimes.

  If there was only some way for law enforcement to get the records they want from a Third Party like Ring with only a subpoena issued by a cop. They can't waste the 5 minutes it takes to get their favorite judge to issue the warrant telephonically.

  This use of subpeona's to obtain information from Third Parties will be used only in the most dire of circumstances, to catch and prosecute only the most vile of offenders. We know this because law enforcement tells us it is so.

  Oh....wait...nevermind.

  Caspari and Citizen looked at Jeremy Dewitte and Metro State and said, "You're under arrest for holding my beer."
