Greg.
where do you live?
out of curiosity, as I live in Oregon, we have a program called CASA, I wonder if you've heard of that and if where you live has implemented something along those lines, because this is why Oregon's issues are actually a lot less with the children issue, as we make sure that there is always a CASA officer there when the above, like you mentioned, takes place.
I'm not a lawyer or a DA, or anything on that line....but.
Here's the thing. and this may sound weak....but the officers playing the machine may be valid. Think about it. If the perp decided to rewire or something so that the could stash their drugs or whatever, then maybe, them playing wasn't so off. yes, it may seem weird and out of place, but hey, if I was an officer, I'd be looking at one thing if the video game system was up front and out there. I'd be looking at it as the prime place. I hang out with a lot of Enginneers and whatnot at college, and they've rewired a lot of stuff, so that one wire can control a video game system. so theoretically, though these officers were caught, they might have been on to something.
really now mate. That works? I should try that. then again, in the town where I currently am, the cops really can't ticket us, since we're a college town. though it's ironic when they pull us over, an find we're a student. they get annoyed. found out that the town up above us, that if you say that I'm from "such and such college," they'll let you go. I was driving a friends car which had a headlight out and, I think he was going to ticket me, but didn't, when I said where I was from. also, driving at night is spooky for me as well, which wasn't helping. thankfully I was let go with the nice man saying, "Tell your friend he needs to fix his car."
I am all about the freedom of the net. we just need a way to protect the artists.. somehow there is a model for it... i hope it all works out...
protect the artists? What? why? who cares about them. they sic the RIAA and MPAA bozo clowns on us cause they want their money. let them go broke. maybe some of them who are dumb enough will just crawl under a rock and die, and those who are good will go find another job.
Those of us who like to do business in cash so that Uncle Sam isn't privy to our every fucking purchase are just left out in the cold, then? Progress cuts both ways.
I take it you're one of those paranoid Americans who doesn't like the Patriot Act do you?
Yet you're using a computer? that's ironic.
So you're saying we can't kill the RIAA because they're a useful plot device?
well if the RIAA are like the Daleks......yes. and of course the Doctor.2 isn't around to go genocidially insane like he did in the last ep of Season 4. though maybe removing a few of the RIAA's close family members and loved ones from the food chain might make a difference as to whether or not the RIAA stays around.
For 3 stressful years the RIAA was able to hold this citizen in fear.
Such extortionate practices should not be allowed.
Which is why we few honest citizens left, should do the following.
1) Start a petition
2) Go after the RIAA family members
3) Hold said family members for ransom, and explain that if the RIAA does not step down from all cases and disband, then we will start chopping off parts of the people til each person is unable to survive.
4) If the RIAA does not back down because of a few dead bodies, then we will up the ante. We will start on a much more massive scale, kiddnapping, extortion, more chopping off of body parts.
5) Once the RIAA gives into our demands, after their families have been dealt with, we will all put them in a field and use them as target practice.
6) Once that is done, we will have posted video and post it everwhere and make it clear, should people ever try to reconvene the RIAA that these actions will take place again.
7) With the RIAA out of the way, the world will be a much safer place.

Well we could say something about Scientology.
Utah has Arches and Canyonlands National Parks though. However......That's the only thing they've got going for them that is good.
So the question then is this. Who cares??
in a state filled with Mormons? aha.
"We are Microsoft. You shall be assimilated. Competition is futile." lol. Apple beats Microsoft daily.
