Seattle Hacker Catches Cops Who Hid Arrest Tapes
An anonymous reader writes "In 2008, the Seattle Police illegally arrested security consultant Eric Rachner for refusing to show ID. After Rachner filed a formal complaint, he was prosecuted for obstructing, and the police claimed that videos of the arrest were unavailable — until Rachner's research uncovered proof that the police had the videos all along." It's an interesting story of how he figured out how the system in use by Seattle police automatically tracks deletion, copying, or other uses of the recorded stream.
Then you are correct;
You do not want to live on most of the rest of the planet, since, clearly, you are not aware.
Now do you get the point?
I didn't think so.
No brain, no pain.
How many states have laws against drunk and disorderly conduct? How many have laws against assault? All of them. The cops were assholes, but that does not mean this guy is a good guy. Try a little nuance in your thinking, not everything is black and white, the hero fighting the villain. Sometimes it's just two villains fighting.

Yes, that explains why he got the code, found the tapes, and the police had been punished. whoa dog, that a regular police state.
In fact, these alleged abuses don't happen nearly as often as you think. I suggest you read up open what it's like to actually live in a police state.
Here is a clue: If you are talking about it being a police state and don't need 3 look outs, and a trusted friend hiding to kill the people your talking with if it turns out you think that are working for the police, you are not in a police state.
You are an idiot.

In a town I lived one cop gave his wife three to the chest for adultery. He must have been one of the "honest ones" too.
Don't mistake malice for anything but what it is.
Australia and New Zealand are particularly grim, and hence easy pickings for Israeli MOSAD agents(Govt Spies)
They use these two countries to pick passports like apples from a tree. When Israel needs to do its dirtiest deeds, it usually with an Oz or NZ passport
