I’ve been writing about Backpage for more than five years, ever since I came across a terrified 13-year-old girl, Baby Face, who had been forced to work for a pimp in New York City.
In Kristof's reality, I think this means he's seen Taxi Driver.
Sorry, I was just using my comment as a segue to start a thread about movies that'll probably never get made, as this seems an inappropriate place to have one. I don't have terribly good social skills.
And apparently there is nothing to do about bad things that can be facilitated using IT, aside from writing totally bad laws. I mean, except enforcing the extant laws such as they are already doing...
Well, there's also destroying the security provided by encryption by backdooring it all, eventually leading the collapse of the economy. A lot of people in Congress think that's something good the tech sector could do, too.
With SESTA and an anti-encryption bill getting passed, Congress could double-save the children.
Re: shit holes full of shit and cunt shit the cunts
And The Profane Zorro comes to the rescue! Without bowing to the manners or logic that rule ordinary men, hear him fight for what the powerless call "The End of Copyright Tyranny!"
This case is chock full of copyright violations: thoughtcrime from Orwell, pre-crime from Dick, and a justice system straight out of Kafka. The IP lawyers are gonna have a field day with this dystopian hat trick.
(Hell, maybe even the MPAA can get in on the action with some Brazil infringement...)
It's just more evidence America's law enforcement agencies are far more concerned with external police work than with internal accountability.
I'm pretty sure that when discussing law enforcement activities, APA form requires that the phrase 'police work' be surrounded by quotes 100% of the time.
Because congress is bad and it fails at things: since failure makes god sad, he causes the sky to rain clowns who punish us for only electing people to Congress who run for congressional seats. The clowns hypnotize our representatives into appointing them circuit court judges, who then let cops run free and wild in the land of tautological crackpots.
Nothing hard to 'figure out' here: he cycle of god's rain clowns is simple theology.
....How is having legal tender "evidence" of a crime? Were they going to dust it for prints? Run a DNA trace?
They're gonna scan the bills for mustard & relish residue so that they can prove the cash is proceeds from illegal vending of red-hot, delicious doggers.
(He took the debit card to help rake lines from some coke he saw in the evidence room earlier that morning.)
In Siva's case, we really need to stick to 'asking a higher court to review a lower court's decision'. Otherwise, TD'll be inundated with 'He's only appealing in his own mind!' puns. Or was one enough?
People were assholes long before Ayyadurai was born.
Sort of: people have behaved in an asshole-like manner for a long time, but it wasn't until 1980 that Siva came along and developed the feature-set that, when taken as a whole, define a true asshole as one would be recognized in modern society. Furthermore, he copyrighted his bulleted list of these specific, personally assembled and implemented features under the title ASS-HOLE.
If they were trying to "use a disaster" to catch people, they wouldn't have issued a warning to STAY AWAY if you don't want to be arrested.
I think the point is to keep all the social 'undesirables' away from the shelters, hoping that as many of them as possible (from sex offenders to parking-meter scofflaws to those who don't like Sheriff Judd) are among those killed in the storm.
Why? Because Judd doesn't understand the law, the justice system, or the Constitution, and he gets really excited when he gets to play judge, jury & executioner instead of being stuck serving and protecting.

Under the Act of Production Doctrine, the act of an individual in producing documents or materials (e.g., in response to a subpoena) may have a "testimonial aspect" for purposes of the individual's right to assert the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination to the extent that the individual's act of production provides information not already in the hands of law enforcement personnel about the (1) existence; (2) custody; or (3) authenticity, of the documents or materials produced.

Nope. The Profane Zorro always gets through. Then again, he's a Zorro: mere technology cannot defeat him.
