Are you trying to tell me that my scanned birth cirtificate, driving license & bank statements are NOT safe on FB!?!?
I'll just go on there and delete them then... oh, hang on, so if I delete them they become MORE obvious? This could be time to release my second identity and completely kill off all that is(was) me...
Or I'll probably still be the trusting schmuck that I am and hope nobody's that interested in a 32yr old average Joe.
"I'd give the guy a break, at least he is willing to admit who he works for."
Without "(Full disclosure, I'm a TWC employee)" would we really not have guessed?
Either way, if I didn't say it, someone else would have and I'd be forced to laugh at somebody else's wit and humour rather than my own... (sarcasm added)
It appears my guess above was/is wrong, from the rest of this thread, as I understand it, the cell will attempt connection with this tower as well as multiple real towers, not that it hijacks the call and then passes it on. I presume it will keep the connection until it is out of range? As it is not from the network's company I doubt it can transmit on their behalf.
So if it is just finding the phone and not transmitting I don't think that can be called interception.

"I challenge anyone to show evidence of a single piece of modern technology (say, last 20 years)that has NOT been misused by authorities! Anyone up for that challenge?"
The Segway human transporter, has been used by police, but not misused (as far as I have looked).
Aprilla's Fuel cell bike, can't find anything about authorities even knowing about it, let alone using/abusing it.
except that the full extent of the law, with constitutional violation, is..... zip, see first comment and threaded reply.
Isn't there an old saying - Set a thief to catch a thief, if what they're doing prevents or solves crime, does it detract from their own criminality?
I'd think, to avoid suspicion on the part of whomever's connected, these towers work as boosters for the cell network and merely 'pass on' the data (after viewing it) to the closest real tower
It should be a free country, until you take away rights by your use/abuse of said freedom.
To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure which side of the argument my opinions fall; I haven't really got a problem if, by these actions, they've stopped criminal activity which is taking away others rights. Though if that was the case, I would presume a warrant would be relatively easy to obtain. Is this just laziness on the part of law enforcement? If so, then it would seem to have backfired if the chap who was arrested now has a get out of jail free card due to this laziness.
Is there ever a valid reason to take such short cuts if there's even the slightest chance that that very same short cut can be used to harm your case against the accused?
If they make it legal to trace/track people without a warrant, how long do we wait before the use this technology on a massive scale as anopther 'big brother' tool to know where everyone is all of the time?
That said, is it a problem to know where everyone is all of the time if they're not doing anything illegal?
So many questions, so little time...
I think points a-c above still stand when the objection is not a critism of the employer, for instance it would now read:
(a) That you may be in the wrong industry if an action/decision your industry has made has affected your morals
(b) That whatever industry it is that you're doing the speaking to won't know that this has affected you and, more relevantly, won't know that this is affecting anyone in their industry.
and finally
(c) I'll go back to it, but an anonymous comment could/would/should be discarded on the grounds that it carries no weight, if the 'industry' is that far up his own ass that it can't and wont take constructive comments from its staff, I'd suggest thisindustry is likely to dismiss the comment as somebody messing about/trying to cause trouble, OR they'd be too blinkered to take the point seriously at all.
I would imagine that somewhere in Yahoo!'s T&C's there's a disclaimer allowing them to render any mail undeliverable if they see fit (only, probably in legal jargon about three quarters of the way down the sleep inducing T&C's document, which, I would wager, most people 'tick' just before getting to the second line)
Each state, with the exception of North Carolina, permits citizen arrests if the commission of a felony is witnessed by the arresting citizen, or when a citizen is asked to assist in the apprehension of a suspect by police. The application of state laws varies widely with respect to misdemeanors, breaches of the peace, and felonies not witnessed by the arresting party. For example, Arizona law allows a citizen's arrest if the arrestor has personally witnessed the offense occurring.
American citizens do not carry the authority or enjoy the legal protections held by police officers, and are held to the principle of strict liability before the courts of civil- and criminal law including, but not limited to, any infringement of another's rights. Nonetheless many citizens' arrests are popular news stories.
Though North Carolina General Statutes have no provision for citizens' arrests, detention by private persons is permitted and applies to both private citizens and police officers outside their jurisdiction. Detention is permitted where probable cause exists that one has committed a felony, breach of peace, physical injury to another person, or theft or destruction of property. Detention is different from an arrest in that in a detention the detainee may not be transported without consent.
