LulzSec Document Dump Shows Cops' Fear of iPhones
jfruhlinger writes "People are starting to comb through the details of the law enforcement documents made public by LulzSec. Blogger Kevin Fogarty noticed one interesting trend: The cops seem very anxious about iPhones, particularly apps that would allow encounters with police officers to be recorded. Ironically, the cops seem extremely concerned with protecting their own privacy, but the documents encourage police to examine iPhones during the course of interacting with the public to see what apps they have."
1. You're a massive exception to the rule or live in a very fucked up place - most people in sane countries will NEVER under almost ANY circumstances sign such rights. In fact many rights you have signed off simply cannot be signed off here in Nordics - the law specifically BARS it unless you're in a very sensitive position where such terms can be reasonably advocated.
.
2. I assume you also advocate the following then:
a. Right to cross the street without looking to the sides. Clearly drivers have no right to run over you.
b. Right to come close to violent drunks while talking loudly right after the bars' closing time. Because they don't have a right to punch you in the face just because you piss them off.
c. etc.
The cop advocated REASONABLE CAUTION which got lost because idiots like you took it literally, and other idiots decided to make it into "oo, male dominated society OPPRESSES US!".
P.S. Piss off with your personal comments. My mother almost got raped once when I was about 150m away. Doesn't mean I'm going to get hysterical about rape in general, especially when it comes to common sense advice on how to reduce potential to get raped. Knee-jerk full on emotion with no intellect behind it-reactions like yours have a tendency to make matters MUCH worse.
