That's assuming he leaked anything at all. It strikes me as very convenient that they can now disallow him discovery because a phone they allege was in his possession was used to leak classified material.
Was the phone ever actually in his possession? If he did have contraband cellphones, was the leaky phone one of them before or after the seizure of phones from him?
Exactly. If he had stolen the money and admitted it, he'd have been out of prison by now. But because he was held in contempt, if he confessed to stealing it now that 14 year imprisonment would be in addition to the sentence he'd get for confessing to the theft!
Exactly. If they truly do not know the password, then their 'refusal' to supply it cannot be contempt of court. But if the court assumes they are lying, they'll still spend the rest of their life in jail.
Violating someone's statutory rights -- such as FOIA -- under color of law is a misdemeanor for a lone violator and a felony for two or more violators acting together (Title 18, Section 242, US Code).
Cablevision also has an internet division. If anyone ever uses that internet connection for an illegal stream, Roku could take Cablevision to court and get an injunction against them doing business -- just as Cablevision did to Roku.
Re: Re: Does Cablevision have an internet department?
So basically, Cablevision went to court and got a competitor thrown out of business. What stops Roku from going to court and getting Cablevision prohibited from doing business on the same grounds?
If so, does anyone ever stream illicitly copied content through it? It occurs to me that the precedent that let Cablevision shut down Roku could be used to shut down Cablevision, if Cablevision has any kind of user-controlled content.
Governments are already taking steps to ensure you can't do that in some countries. For example, Australia forbids dash cams in non-government vehicles. Even a cellphone camera held by a passenger was recently ruled illegal by an Australian court.
Re: Security cameras needed to combat police corruption
And as those sorts of cameras become more common, expect police to add tampering to the recordings to their warrant service checklist.
Sending the video off-site can be blocked by police cutting off the internet, phone lines or power before the raid. You'd almost need a hidden HDD somewhere -- and maybe more than one, so the police can find one and stop searching.
Twenty years ago, this was outright paranoia. Now? It's merely borderline. Give it ten years, and it will likely be best practices.

Does UCLA have a law school?
If that's the quality of legal knowledge they impart, their diplomas aren't worth the paper they're printed on!
