It was added in 2006 so the military could help with basic law enforcement after Katrina. When it was no longer needed, it was repealed. Its kind of shocking it was repealed, but it was.
I've installed systems that work like this. They store afew statistical points of your fingerprint. If someone actually got those points that they stored, they still couldn't make a complete fingerprint.
This type of system is usually implemented due to former employees punching in for each other. This is a way that makes that more difficult.
The officer had probable cause. Someone called in a suspicious activity at the house.. Someone trying to force their way into a house. If you don't consider that suspicious, or probable cause, then this discussion is pointless..
If all I have to say is "I live here" and the cop has to leave at that point, or I'm free to leave as I'm not under arrest, please let me know where you live.. I could use some new stuff.
So if I'm breaking into your house, the cops show up and I say "I'm Pitabred and I live here" you'd be ok when you came home to find your house emptied out?
I was thinking about that NV case, but for some reason thought it was found the other way. I was incorrect.
"if they have a reasonable suspicion that you committed a crime. You do not, however have to present any written identification."
Personally, I'd consider the police receiving a call saying they see 2 guys trying to force a door open as "reasonable suspicion" that someone was breaking into a house. So if they think someone has broken into a house, the police show up and they could just say "Yeah.. I live here" and the cops have to leave? They can't hold you at the house, unless you're under arrest, so you'd be free to leave.. I may have to try that next time I see a nice plasma TV through a house window..
Actually, you are incorrect. There are court cases saying you have to present ID if demanded by a cop.
The cop was responding to a possible house break in. He had to "cross the threshold" to verify this, and he had to verify the person he was talking to was the actual owner. If they believe that a crime is/has occured, there are lower thresholds to entering a possible crime scene. Their job, at that point, is to verify that a crime hasn't occured, and hold anyone who may have committed the crime.
It wasn't an anonymous tip. The woman who made the call has been harassed and ridiculed for the call. I don't see how that's an anonymous tip.
I'll throw in that the professor shouldn't have started by showing the cop his college ID. That doesn't verify that you live at the house, and not everyone knows all the professors at a school.
Heated sidewalks are not that outrageous in the midwest. Its cheaper to heat them and keep them ice free vs the possible liability of someone slipping and falling. Lots of older sidewalks in downtown st paul are heated. They put the steam pipes close enough to the surface that the steam basically heats em.
so is it paypals fault you didn't turn off the auto renew? You need to make sure that you turn off auto renew or keep enough cash in your account to cover afew extra hundred bucks.
If they have servers and such hanging off their connection, they should be buying a business connection. The cable companies do offer those types of connections, and they have higher/no bandwidth caps.
T-mobile will unlock the G1 for you. If you've been a customer for more than 90 days, they will provide the SIM unlock code for you. T-mobile is the best at doing this.
The point is, they hadn't already given him direct access to those connections before yesterday, and he had to spend a large chunk of those 75 minutes getting the authorization to access the equipment so he COULD fix it. That's not how I read it at all. The switches were so overloaded that he had to "fight" to get into the box. He, more than likely, already had access to the box, but the network was working against him.
Technically, the telemarketers aren't breaking the do not call list laws. They aren't in canada.
I'm in the US and recently have had canadian based companies calling me.. I tell them I'm on the do not call list "we're in Canada so the US list doesn't apply to us" Canuck companies are doing the same thing now.
As if your entry swipes weren't already being logged in a database and already available to law enforcement? Do you think they just "forget" when you come and go?
This isn't any different than whats being done already, just that you have to enter it instead of the officer.
its quite easy to discover who owns a firearm. Right now, the store keeps the records of who bought what gun, so they contact the manufacturer, who contacts the store that sold that serial number, who provides the details.
Whenever I sell a gun, I take a copy of their license, and have them sign off on the ser # and that they bought it.. No government records needed beyond that:)
you, apparently have never been to Australia. They've been requiring more detailed information than this for at least 10 years. The US isn't the first to do this, and probably far from the last..
At least its valid for afew years. Australia, you have to apply every time you travel there, and I know there used to be a fee..
IMHO this is a damn sight better than SOME of the DRM employed by other companies which even lock out other operating systems (Windows MediaSlayer I'm looking at you) Itunes is no worse/better than mediaplayer. Windows actually licenses their DRM to other companies, so you can buy from multiple stores, not just one. the Apple DRM is only for Itunes and they refuse to license it to other stores or devices. I'd venture to say the Microsoft DRM is more "open" since multiple manufacturers make devices that are compatible with it, and multiple music stores/sources use it.
Itunes also locks out other operating systems. Is there a Linux itunes? The whole "Apple is perfect" thing gets old. I have acouple of Macs, but do realize that Apple isn't the chosen one.
I loved DIVX. I just tossed my DIVX player as it finally just died.. Much more convenient than Blockbuster, and no more evil as BB kept a big database of what you watched and when..
Unfortunately, I didn't want a social networking site. I liked yahoo. I used it for specific things, and social networking is not one of them. I didn't join yahoo360 because it didn't include any new "features" that I wanted over classic yahoo. Now, it looks like everything is going to yahoo360..

And the changes were repealed in 2008.

Its not just the US doing this. The UK has been doing it as well

All countries have the right to do any type of search they want at a border crossing. Thats how they protect their country.
It will download the data along your route, so you're good if you loose connectivity while going to your destination.
Its not the entire google database, but its a nice start.
Misidentifying myself is a crime.. so if he can't force me to produce ID, how can anyone be committed of that crime?

ugh.. you've foiled my plans!
yeah.. because they can deactivate anything electronic you ever buy..
Bush meant to invade Iraq, so I guess he invaded the correct country... now if he would've ended up in Turkey..

I took a picture of my new nephew and the sound from my phone scared him. He started crying and wailing.
This is a law being passed as a knee jerk reaction and shouldn't even be an issue.
