So in a future case, what exactly is stopping the police from sitting a suspect down, holding the phone up to get his face to unlock it and then proceeding. The suspect doesn't have to do anything, just sit there (unlike swiping his finger over a sensor). If providing a biometric like a fingerprint or face isn't testimonial would there even be a 4th or 5th amendment breach?
I have no idea how to go about looking for this but, how many cases would the SCOTUS have if they had shot down laws that were unconstitutional before they were signed and enforced and made its way to their desk? ie: would an ounce of prevention on their part (stopping the unconstitutional law) be better then a pound of cure (having to try the case before them and all the time and money involved)?
True, but there is a risk, possibly a substantial one, that the rightful owners will walk in on the burglar during the act. If they do, violence might well result, especially if we look at states where burglars and/or homeowners are frequently armed. Thus, it seems reasonable that actual burglary of a structure be considered a crime of violence.
The problem with that is that if a homeowner walks in the crime is no longer Burglary, it becomes a Robbery. The two words have different and specific definitions. By this reasoning they can write you up for speeding if they pulled you over because one of your taillights was out. "Oh he might have been speeding so we are just going to tack that on cause it is a more serious offense."
Hrm... When a 210 year old piece of music composed by a man who has been dead 191 years and recorded 57 years ago gets a copyright claim against it I have to wonder how many of his descendants are collecting? Incidents like this make me reach for the ripper, not my wallet.
Aren't there laws about interfering with a firefighter as they are going about trying to fight a fire? Why hasn't Verizon been brought to court for their interference?
The Sun should email Judge Scherer an advanced copy of the paper every night asking her to do her line edits and censoring before they send it to press.

And as for that, beyond highlighting just how scummy they are, I can't help but wonder if they might have crossed the line into 'open to be sued for defamation' there. It would depend on how they worded the claims, but accusations that someone is running an illegal business and has committed tax fraud strike me as a titch beyond just 'matters of opinion' regarding character, which are legal, and into 'that person is breaking the law' which I'm guessing are somewhat less so.
And to make it even easier, Becker made the statements while she was holding public office which could be construed as "a threat under color of law"
If these are the scams and screw ups we know about, you have to wonder just how many haven't been exposed yet. At some point you have to wonder how this particular company is still in business, since this hasn't just been a few errant fuck ups. It has been a prolonged, active campaign of malice and incompetence, matched only by the company's fairly obvious disdain for its own customers.
The legislation also creates a database, searchable by other government agencies, of which software was examined by foreign states that the Pentagon considers a cyber security risk.
Cyber Security Risk huh? Does that mean if the government gets their way and mandated backdoors are installed in devices, that all those devices will get put on the list?
So, no doubt the FCC is going to rush to reinstate those rules they removed to pave the way for Sinclair seeing how Sinclair was 'trying to pull the wool over their eyes' the whole time... right?
So in a couple of years when someone wants to watch clips of what was apparently a high scoring game but can't find anything, they will think that the game wasn't that important after all. How do you expect to garner new fans if someone can't stumble over a video and go 'hey.. that looks interesting.'
