Lumping all cops into the same category? Perhaps some enjoy the "power trip", excessive traffic ticketing, "constantly lying and bullying", but that doesn't apply to the majority of them. It's generally known everywhere in the US that I've been that you can drive 5 to 10 mph over the speed limit without too much fear of getting pulled over. It's the idiots driving 20 or 30 mph over the limit and weaving through traffic that most of them are watching for, and I'm generally thankful to see the patrolman sitting on the side of the interstate with his radar gun when those idiots are out.
I haven't quite decided what I think about ratemycop.com. On the one hand, it could be a good forum for airing true tales of heavy handedness, but on the other hand you'll likely get someone that thinks all cops are bad and enjoys posting hate comments every available chance.
It's in our best interest to completely vet out the case before running off half cocked. I wish I knew enough to find the TRO or the customer's side of the story.
Looks like Mr. Rubinstein has only himself to blame for the lawsuit. There's some very interesting things about NAC's negotiating and business tactics in the affidavits.
I completely agree. UCI only asked to keep the addresses until September 2004 so they would have enough time to migrate their existing customers to new IP addresses. After reading the actual complaint I have a whole different perspective WRT what's going on here.
It's not the business that's corrupt, it's the officers of the business. The idea is to replace them with more trustworthy individuals and eventually you don't have them ripping us off any more (or at least on the same scale). In any case, although they are still in operation, most of them are facing huge lawsuits as a result of the actions of their corrupt officials; that's where your "punishment" comes in.
Go back and read the article. Note the "delete-as-spam" and "delete" functions. He is talking about each individual user building their own collection of spam and non-spam for the statistical analysis.

I still have floppies with demos from Future Crew. The GP probably doesn't know what floppies are either. ;)
Wow, a smart judge? He'll definitely be overruled.

Tsk, tsk. Here, I found you a nice Snuggling Ifbot to keep you company.
