So… guy was convicted of distributing prescription drugs, claimed to be not guilty, accepted a plea deal, served his time, got his community service commuted to probation, presumably due to unlikelihood to reoffend, THEN got picked up by ICE to be deported to a country he hasn’t lived in for 34 years, and winds up mysteriously dead in custody.
This is great, but a) it isn’t going to pass, and b) what about cops going under cover and plainclothes officers? So they get a carve out, or are they made illegal?
How about SWAT teams in gas masks? Sheriffs working in dusty areas wearing bandanas? Riot visors?
The challenge today is that their legal job may now require them to do things that are constitutionally questionable and ethically repugnant. So even if they’re good people and upstanding citizens, they may be required to, at any point in their day, to choose between doing the right thing and losing their job.
They only have to choose wrong once to no longer be the “good cop”.
Now, because of the way policing works in the US, it may be possible to have an intrinsically good police department. At least until a state or federal agency rolls into town and demands they do something they wouldn’t otherwise do; then they become complicit.
After all… in any other organized gang, there can be good people, but they’re still going to be found guilty of gang activity due to supporting the others.
Sounds like they’ve still got some work to do to identify the areas that have been bottom trawled.
Thing is, I’ve been out of fisheries since the 90s, but back then bottom trawling was illegal in territorial waters, I thought? All the surface trawlers would never have done it anyway because they understood how destructive it could be for future years.
There are an infinite number of programs that could do this. Will they? Probably not.
Best thing is to install a trustworthy personal firewall, and block all outbound network access for all processes, and then enable as needed. This won’t stop Windows itself, but it will give you a heads-up if something else is trying to send data somewhere and you can make an informed choice at the time.
Depends on your local laws. If there are no municipal or regional laws against it and the zoning allows for it, yes, you could do it.
You could also form a corporation that is owned by a lot of people and use that to buy a regular plot of land, and that would usually comply with local regulations. That’s how strata corporations work.
On the other side of this, I once had a co-worker who bought a keystroke recorder and attached it to his own computer.
The person who had been messing with his computer saw the mini camera he had set up but missed the keylogger. He was able to figure out who it was and what they were up to from that.
In an emailed statement, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said, “Attacks and demonization of ICE have resulted in officers facing a 413% increase in assaults. DHS has the ability to trace phone numbers and track location information. Any individual who participates in the doxxing of our brave federal immigration agents will be identified and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
So… “we’re ignoring the law, but if you dox us, we’ll dox back and weaponize the law against you?”
The legislation enjoys support from the business community and building trades, who testified to Parliament that it can take longer to get projects approved than to get them built.
Is there supposed to be something wrong with that? The project and its effects will last far longer than both combined.
Of course not. Pick the one that’s most likely going to get elected. Or if that’s R and you can’t bring yourself to be involved in R politics, primary the D.
The point is that this isn’t something that should be limited to a single party.
Believe it or not, not everyone on Lemmy who’s in the US votes D across the board.
