And you'll forever have an interesting conversation for any job that asks if you've ever been arrested...
I have a security clearance and actions as you described would put that in jeopardy.
The officer is *well* within his authority to search your possessions once he has suspicion of something. This is just extended that authority to include a digital device.
Now the password circumvention aspect is interesting as that would violate the DMCA wouldn't it? I certainly don't have to give an officer the combination to a locked container during a stop, so having a device that 'picks the lock' on my digitally protected info would be quite troubling.
your idea of 'caustic' is the legal definition of a threat. It's not a good idea to blur the line between actually encouraging violence against officers and the criticism of their policies.
My cynical nature says the GOP abused the rules precisely so they could get things like this eliminated and then ram through whatever they want since no one would be able to stop it anymore. And I don't mean now necessarily, thinking longer term to repeal damn near everything when they get the chance.
What if an app produces a subtly incorrect version of the train schedule by accident or even on purpose? Who is at fault?
The average user is likely to get upset at the public transit company, not the individual app creator. Maybe that's not fair but it seems a reasonable scenario.
If data I publish reflects on me, wouldn't having some control over that data be a reasonable concern?
You mean the wires that the government paid the company to install in exchange for a licensed monopoly?
Are there maintenance costs? sure. But when you sell 'unlimited' you damned well better provide 'unlimited'. It's crazy to expect them to provide unlimited, which is why they try to get around 'unlimited' by capping people who actually use it.
It's all about managing expectations. If I have X amount of bandwidth available, I don't sell 'unlimited' and then complain that people are using too much. Sell less bandwidth such that the average usage * # of customers is below what you can provide. Period.
Yep. Given that the next campaign is likely to be multi-billions of dollars in just direct donations (not Citizens United laundered money) it would certainly be cheaper if the government funded the campaigns.
If you want to spend you're own money, you're more than welcome too, but the official campaign events won't be tainted by donations from any source.
I read something about Australia's elections. Free speech is countered by harm to the country and corporate money in elections is classified as a threat to the country. Sounds rather nice frankly.
The negligence is more like - You left a loaded gun on your publicly accessible front porch. If someone used that gun to commit a crime, you likely are negligent in the safe keeping of the weapon.
Of course that requires equating civil with criminal and a router with a gun.

Either don't give me a contract to use that much bandwidth or build out your network to handle it.

Re: Downsides
This is legalizing something that is morally wrong because you aren't enforcing it properly.
Maybe the scale of the corruption is so bad you can't possibly enforce it, but still seems like the wrong way to 'fix' the problem.
