  1. Re:this is ridiculous on Federal Court Nixes Weeks of Warrantless Video Surveillance · · Score: 1

    There are lots of differences. For example a cop is obstructed by things like passer byes cars, small fences and the such. A camera mounted 30 ft up is not obstructed by any such things.

    A camera mounted that high sees everything, a cop on a steak out only sees a very small subset. Also this was the appeals process. If I am not mistaken it is pretty much only the SCOTUS it can go to now.

    Umm, that does not counter what he said. The article 3 quote above does a better job. The question was, in effect which part of the constitution was be breaking, not what part covers the oath.

    So you want to activate the reserves, upending massive amounts of family just to keep people in?

    So you yourself have seen the documents, all of them, and know that is all it pertains too?

    Correct, however I believe that would be a very high bar for Sony to reach.

    Umm, no it does not, from the article:

    Petitioners filed suit under both federal and state wiretapping laws, alleging that an unknown person using an electronic device had surreptitiously intercepted their telephone conversation.

    This was about a lawsuit not a criminal case. Maybe you should actually read the finding before making false statements.

    It does not matter. If you bothered to read the article there is established case law on this that says that the media is fine.

    Then make it so if a company abandons the product the patent becomes invalid.

    So it is ok to keep forcing them to make the product if it was not making them money?

    I am sorry but the law you propose would lead to less people helping people. there has to be a balance.

    There are tradeoffs. If they can get you to live for 40 years and give them 100k, or you live to be 80, but you pay them 50k, what is the better cost/benefit for them?

    Demonizing the innocent? I am sorry but someone who does not immunize themselves and their kids who causes an outbreak is not innocent. They are quite literally guilty of spreading a preventable disease that they know they could have prevented. It is more arrogant to think of yourself as above society, the same society that you depend on for survival.

    We only have that ability typically if the person infecting you shows signs. There are some exceptions, but in general a carrier who does not get sick is someone hard to find.
