Question: What is an AssHat?
Shut Up, I Explained, Mostly Pointlessly May 1, 2013 By Ken White. (Tags: Law, Law Practice)
"It's my best piece of advice — and the advice most consistently ignored. If you're dealing with the government, and you are in any doubt, why won't you just shut up?"
I don't know about anybody else, but my phone does this automatically, as soon as I take a picture or video it is 'automagicly' uploaded to at least two locations (Google+ & Dropbox) almost immediately.
Now if the police did seize my phone before it uploaded, even if they turned it off or shielded it from RF (e.g. a faraday bag), it would still auto-upload as soon as it got a good cell network signal (both of these apps have the option for uploading via Wi-Fi only, but I chose the upload over BOTH cellular and wifi options specifically for this reason).
Now, you could say that if they have access to my phone then the police could crack my phone lock and then access my Google+ and Dropbox accounts and delete the "offending" image/video, and that is true, however Dropbox has a feature where you have to enter a pin code to access it (but it still uploads updates automatically), so they would have to crack that as well.
The upside of this is it gives me time to access either of those services from another device and copy/share the file so that it can not be ultimately destroyed.

"As evidence materialized, it turned out that Gibbs was just a redshirt."
"Third, though Plaintiffs boldly probe the outskirts of law, the only enterprise they resemble is RICO. The federal agency eleven decks up is familiar with their prime directive and will gladly refit them for their next voyage."

Re: Re: CCleaner CAN be a tool for securely deleting (wiping) files...
But it is not set up that way by default, and takes some knowledge of the software & how to configure it to do that job. [Full Disclosure: I use Piriform's CCleaner on a regular basis, both in its default use as a tool to clean-up my HDD (& windows registry and temp files, etc.) as well as for it's ability to provide secure file deletion]
From: https://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/using-ccleaner/wiping-free-disk-space
"This means that, given the right software, someone could reconstruct all, or parts of files that you've deleted. For privacy and security reasons, you can set CCleaner to wipe the free areas of your hard disk so that deleted files can never be recovered."
From: https://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/ccleaner-settings/changing-ccleaner-settings
"CCleaner has four methods of secure deletion: a Simple Overwrite (1 pass), DOD 5220.22-M (3 passes), NSA (7 passes), and Gutmann (35 passes). A 'pass' refers to how many times CCleaner writes over the spot on the hard drive. The more times CCleaner writes to that spot, the harder the file will be to recover by any means. The drawback is that it will take CCleaner longer to complete the job."
Re: "Because this was easier than just removing tax breaks giant corporations enjoy?"
How about they fix the broken tax laws that allow major corporations to pay tax rates lower than people who make under the poverty line before demanding more people pony up cash for the coffers.
