Lady, I clearly get the sense that you enjoy making up random titles (because you are entitled? ha ha) but founding a bogus organization to make yourself the president (and chief cook and bottle washer methinks) isn't the way to engage with either techs or lawmakers. Perhaps put some time in learning the topics and becoming a recognized expert in the field before purporting to speak for the community. Who knows, it might keep you from looking so stupid... twice.
Look at the timestamps. Regular users of TechDirt know very well that the interface makes it super easy to accidentally post multiple time, especially if you aren't that familiar with the 'novel' way the user is notified of the post.
Is so very ingrained in cops during their training and when they become part of "the brotherhood' that they don't appear to comprehend that some things are simply and plainly illegal.
Of course, you could also make the argument that the FBI should be devoting investigative resources in to people identified as risks (like the Orlando guy) instead of Creating and Orchestrating these trumped-up charges against people that barely seem to be capable of operating as autonomous humans.
I don't buy any of Sony's crap. No hardware, no music, no DVDs, nada. If it happens to show up on one of the movie channels I might watch it, but that isn't directly profiting Sony.
Regular readers of sites like TechDirt know this. Corporations and government agencies keep expanding their 'rights' while ignoring the constitution or 'rights' of the citizens.
Is that she could not control what OTHER PEOPLE sent to her so her position is ludicrous. I don't know why the reporters don't bring this up as Point One, Two and Three.
Why is the Kindle copy $0.65US more expensive than the hardcopy?
This is why I don't buy more ebook recommendations. The cost to transfer the bits of an ebook is negligible compared to creating paper and ink, printing, shipping, storing and shipping a physical copy (which doesn't even touch upon the environmental impact of all these books). I'd pay ...less than $3US for this book in electronic form.
Again, don't these people in charge of the ME's office take an oath to uphold the law? Their actions seem to be support apparent goals of increasing successful prosecution percentages, but that is in contrast to upholding the law.
I often want to mention this idea but it seems particularly germane here. One presumes the city workers involved in the traffic cam process (from those approving the plan all the way to those charged with sending the letters) all took an oath of office or signed some sort of employment agreement. Those oaths and contracts usually contain some sort of language stating that that person will obey all city ordinances. Sooo.... let's look at jail time, fines and termination (for cause!) for all of these fine, upstanding city workers. That'll shake some tailfeathers around the country, I bet.
"The bill will allow law enforcement to investigate and prosecute suspected criminals and criminal organizations that are involved in human trafficking and other serious crimes."
You know that y'all can already do this, right? Those things are not legal and you can investigate and prosecute stuff that isn't legal. Right? RIGHT? You don't need new laws for that.
There is a difference between 'a fix was issued' and 'a fix was applied by every home owner' pal, not to mention the gap between 'a fix was issued' and 'a fix works properly, isn't buggy, doesn't break some other core security component, and there aren't any other massive security flaws in this no-privacy-by-design product.'
So no, not fear mongering, but instead educational content warning people of the actual/real/physical dangers these devices pose for the people that are on the inside of a house that is 'protected' by this device.
Sure, the Pres is going to sign it, but the Republican controlled congress is going to ratify it too. Instead, this is clearly a boon to the people who finance the professional politician class.
