The station undoubtedly used the lurid aspects of the story to generate ratings and keep people watching through a commercial break. Then they broadcast said nude photo as promised. Why is no one in jail for this?
The only innovations I've noticed are ads in my channel listings and set top box menus. I guess they are spying on me now too, but that is undetectable.
"And, again, don't be fooled into thinking this is a "pro" consumer move in that it exempts data from the cap. That's like someone tackling you and then demanding to be called a nice guy for giving you a hand to get back up."

People are supposed to be free to receive and interpret any electromagnetic waves that cross their property, or in public spaces. Cops are people. So, they should be free to receive and interpret to any electromagnetic waves to further law enforcement, and in fact they would be foolish and incompetent not to. If your radio waves are saying "I'm a criminal" that's no different than posting a sign outside your house saying the same thing. If you don't want that, don't emit electromagnetic waves.
