This is an *excellent* #podcast by #thelotuseaters https://www.lotuseaters.com/the-podcast-.. Ex- #police #officer #harrymiller discusses being put on a #database for a " #noncrime " to prevent a " #thoughtcrime ". He also discusses arms of the police that have *zero* oversight, who cannot be held #accountable - it's absolutely insane.
Interesting, there has been a #police #raid in #london because somebody found a #link on #google https://www.theregister.com/2021/08/10/p.. Apparently the #meetingminutes were " #breached " - but it appears they were simple #unsecured and #cached on #google #search ...
#chicago #police in the #us seem to be #revolting against #mayor #lorilightfoot due to #defunding https://www.lotuseaters.com/chicago-cops.. Apparently 30 #officers turned their back on the #mayor as she visited the #hospital after two #police #officers were killed. Seems as though a very dangerous situation is brewing out there.
#apple is going much further: https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2021/0806.s.. Apparently they now #scan user devices for #illegal #content and report to the #police . I can already imagine an attack where somebody sends/serves an illegal image for example, an #iphone #downloads it and then the scan #flags it. #aardvark points at this being a type of #fascism - but in modern times we see this actively being used in #communist Countries like #china ! It's clearly #authoritarian ...
That's quite a move by the #us 's #biden #harris #administration https://www.lotuseaters.com/us-capitol-p.. Apparently #capitol #police have been told to #arrest those who choose not to wear a #mask due to #covid - quite an #authoritarian move.
@barray on Tue Jul 20 09:14:42 UTC 2021 said: &e#aardvark also discussed the #uk 's #gatwick #airport #uav #drone scare: https://aardvark.co.nz/daily/2021/0722.s.. It's worse than I previously thought, the #police actually flew a #helicopter at *exactly* the same time and were likely the cause of the 'sighting'. Their claims were also dubious, as they suggested a drone flew for an hour *through heavy rain* - something that is quite difficult for motor rotor craft. And on top of that, their 'advanced' drone detection system detected *nothing* ...So it seems like the #uk 's #gatwick #airport lied about the #drone stopping #planes from flying: https://hackaday.com/2021/07/20/the-gatw.. They literally had a #uav #radar / #scanner operating and found *nothing* - but the #caa still decided to close the #airport ! Bare in mind their were #law changes as a result of this bullshit! They can fuck right off.
Apparently the #police out in #malaysia used a #steamroller to crush #bitcoin #crypto #mining rigs: https://www.vice.com/en/article/7kv739/p.. They say that the devices had been stealing #electricity for their operations.
Oops, looks like over 600 #thousand #pounds has gone missing in the #snp - money which was set aside for a second #referendum https://www.lotuseaters.com/scottish-pol.. #police #scotland are looking into the matter... Not surprised at all...
The #uk 's #leicestershire #crime #commissioner has banned staff from communicating with #blm - due to the fact that their goal is to #defund the #police https://www.lotuseaters.com/leicestershi..
#police in the #uk abusing their power as per: https://youtube.com/watch?v=eKgJhv3BdH4 That said, I don't support #defunding them - actually quite the opposite, they clearly need *more* #funding and #training in the #law and how they are to apply it. We need to remove #wokeism and bring back proper policing.
Ouch, #audacity now collects data to be used by #police https://www.audacityteam.org/about/deskt.. #nothanks - I'll take my free and open non #spyware software thanks.
#police in the #us are now exploiting #copyright #law to prevent their exploits being posted on #youtube https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/1/225582.. Seems like quite an abuse...
#us 's #portland #police #rapidresponse have 'disbanded' after a mass walkout: https://www.lotuseaters.com/portland-pol.. I'm sure this area will now reap the benefits of #defunding the police... Somehow I live in doubt.
Incredible video by #crimebodge https://youtube.com/watch?v=fNKIpVvsnW8 The #uk #police literally ruined this guys life for getting annoyed about #terrorism - they have taken *all* of his privacy rights away. #prevent needs to be obliterated from the UK system. *This is exactly why you should never speak to the police.*
What the shit has happened to #ireland ? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-57.. Apparently the #irish #police can now compel people to hand over #passwords - screw that! What happened to privacy?
Well *no shit* - #police in the #us #quit when the #blm #protests and #riots were going down: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/11/us/po.. The irony of the situation is, if you speak to *real* black people running black businesses and upstanding members of the black community, what they really want is *more* police.
