Lots of cops pissed at me for the wet blanket statement that “all cops are anti second amendment”.
I’d like to know if any of you are willing to tell us the department you work for and whether or not you told your agency you refuse to cooperate in red flag laws and what the outcome was.
Doesn’t matter the stop, call, circumstance, every cop goes on high alert when a gun is referenced. Every cop looks for “guns and dope”. Every cop draws down anyone who even hints at gun out of the subconscious mindset that we’ve been brainwashed into thinking guns are illegal.
The academies teach us to be terrified of guns and that we are going to be shot on every single call we go on if we are complacent. It’s a mindset that is by design.
For the most part, whether or not you choose to acknowledge it, when you’re on a call, you are the only one who has the right to own a gun on that scene. It’s just how cops view the control of the call they are on. It’s how it always has been and “officer safety” and “illegal gun ownership” has always been the excuse.
A well trained and fully armed society is a polite society and would make cops’ jobs so much easier.
British police arrested a man after Facebook reported a picture he sent privately to his wife through Messenger. Police seized both their devices.
The man had downloaded an image of a Mexican actress from Google or Bing Images (he says he doesn’t remember which engine), unaware that it was AI generated. He sent it to his wife to ask if she’d like him to buy her similar clothes.
According to his account, police said the image matched a hash associated with a real Mexican actress.
If the image was illegal and could be identified through its hash, it shouldn’t have been available on Google or Bing Images. They should have remove it and report it to the police.
Anyone in the UK can face arrest, police investigation and seizure of their devices over something they download from the internet or say in a private conversation, even when they have no idea the content could be considered illegal.
Facebook Messenger is supposed to protect private conversations through end-to-end encryption. But if Meta can scan messages on people’s devices or inside the app before encryption or after decryption, that privacy protection becomes worthless against Meta’s monitoring.
The same privacy and personal safety problem applies to the ChatGPT integration for Apple Messages and Meta’s Muse spyware agent. Giving these companies access to private conversations allows them to monitor and analyse sensitive information about everyone involved, including people who never consented.
End-to-end encryption doesn’t protect people when they add third party services.
@RobProvince Just from that clip it is obvious the DB started his tackle before the QB started to slide, and the DB even turned his body in mid air in an attempt to mitigate the hit once he saw the QB slide.
Short of having a time machine, I don't know what these people expected him to do.
