Umm, no. They couldn't do SHIT about it. See, there's ZERO law or regulation stating I can't do that. Making my car a dead zone isn't illegal. I am free to allow or prevent signals coming from my property or coming into my property (if I were not allowed to, it would be illegal to remove my factory-installed car radio, as an example.) Until there is a court ruling WITH JURISDICTION that states otherwise, your assertion is incorrect.
Do you even know what a Faraday cage is, or how one would be constructed? A car frame can make a pretty good one with just a couple of adjustments.
Yea, right, which is why my company has been stripping down and reusing the same LED wafer fab tech (both silicon and sapphire), just slowly working down in chip scale, using the same processes. All it takes is a software tweak and an engineer with half a brain.
Sorry, just because nobody else in the industry has the brains to think of such things, does not mean some other enterprising guy like me hasn't already made the solution.
I guess you hadn't heard about the original story, which was some kid that was merely a friend of someone of 'interest' and he had a GPS device placed on his vehicle.
I know her specific form of Cerebral Palsy. Ataxic. It severely hampers motor coordination in all cases, making it difficult to even react to anything. Reflexes are slowed, coordination is half shot. It's something I dealt with WORKING WITH DISABLED CHILDREN.
You keep thinking I know nothing when I'm far more informed than you are.
"(3) "Disabled individual" means a person older than 14 years of age who by reason of age or physical or mental disease, defect, or injury is substantially unable to protect himself from harm or to provide food, shelter, or medical care for himself."

(3) "Disabled individual" means a person older than 14 years of age who by reason of age or physical or mental disease, defect, or injury is substantially unable to protect himself from harm or to provide food, shelter, or medical care for himself.
This clearly establishes first degree felony, and thus 10 year SOL.

It's a shame you people can't bother to read the entire thing, do the research yourselves, and come to the same conclusion. Lazy idiots, the lot of you.
"disabled individual punishable as a felony of the first degree under Section 22.04"
From Section 22.04:
"(3) "Disabled individual" means a person older than 14 years of age who by reason of age or physical or mental disease, defect, or injury is substantially unable to protect himself from harm or to provide food, shelter, or medical care for himself."
At the time of the commission of the crime, the person was over 14 years old, and had a severe disability that rendered her substantially unable to defend herself from harm. Also, cerebral palsy tends to make it pretty hard to give yourself medical care.
Why, yes, I've been through similar shit with Texas, when I was a child. I rather know this system a bit too well.
No, there's still the element that makes it a first degree felony - when this crime was committed, it was committed against a disabled person, a minor, that could not get along on their own without accommodation, and could not defend themselves to any reasonable degree. That takes it from third degree felony to first degree.
In fact, that is almost the sole requirement for the elevation. Had this not happened, yes, SOL would have expired. As it stands, it has not.
You are not reading the full parts that come with the law.
Go read the entirety of Section 22 of the Texas Penal code. Add in Family Code section 71.005.
When the crime was committed, the child could not drive, hold a job, and was only barely able to attend school (cerebral palsy, especially ataxic, tends to leave you rather defenseless and somewhat unable to move properly - which is quite evident in the video she has ataxic.)
She could not defend herself.
This is quite clearly a crime having been committed while she was a child. SOL is ten years from commission of the crime, REGARDLESS if she is an adult now.
The other piece of info everyone seems to be neglecting is that the child has cerebral palsy. This makes her a DISABLED individual, which certainly qualifies her for the ten-year one, not the five-year one everyone else is trying to say SOL applies.
Don't forget by reason of age as well - 16 isn't old enough in Texas unless you've been emancipated. She clearly can't be emancipated, as she is dependent by nature of physical (possibly mental) disability.
The child has cerebral palsy. First, it's a felony by reason of age - 16 is not old enough in Texas to reasonably live on your own without support or aid. Secondly, Medical (physical) disease further adds to this. Thirdly, it's a third-degree felony alone if committed when the child assaulted is covered under Family Code 71.005 - Household member.
You don't know jack about Texas law. How about you shut up and listen to an actual Texan?
"Ten Years- theft of any estate by an executor/administrator. Theft by a public servant of government property, Forgery. Injury to a child, elderly individual, or disabled individual punishable as a felony of the first degree under Section 22.04, Penal Code;"
A child with cerebral palsy that has been terrorized into a state of fear and unable to defend themselves is a felony, according to Penal code 22.01 with the provision of it being a THIRD DEGREE FELONY if conducted against a person described in Section 71.0021(b), 71.003, or 71.005, Family Code (in this case, it's 71.005 that applies - Household member) and also in Section 22.04, which the entirety of the section shall be hereforth linked

By reason of age - 16 years old is not old enough to reasonably live on your own, especially with cerebral palsy, which happens to fall under physical disease.
Hi, I can read in-depth and reference multiple law requirements at the same time thanks to tabbed browsing. SOL has very clearly not expired due to these conditions.
How can your drives burn DVDs but not read them? It has to be able to read the fact that the disc is blank, before the OS or other programs will see it as a blank disc. Ditto if you're doing write verification after burning.

So I make my engine spark plugs just a weee bit loose to make a nice interfering spark gap emitter.
Or just make the entire car a faraday cage.
Greasecar.com has kits for tons of vehicles.

"any time you change technologies you literally need to build an entire new facility."
Nope, lots of tech is quite compatible with typical CMOS and SOI processes.
To not plan for such possibilities is utter stupidity.
Oh wait, the American educational system has been getting gutted the past couple of decades. Stupidity is our middle name.

Yes, they do, and have for YEARS.
My 1998 audio disc copier works JUST FINE with data CDs.
Did everyone suddenly forget about the fucking Redbook standard?

Cerebral palsy.
My most recent revision comes from the carbon copy I have of the entire 2005 Penal Code for Texas.

Still a minor, regardless.
Section 22.04

SOL time begins from the day of commission of the crime.
SOL has NOT expired, and when the crime was committed the child had a disability.
Clearly criteria are met and SOL is not in play for another three years.
The other piece of info everyone seems to be neglecting is that the child has cerebral palsy. This makes her a DISABLED individual, which certainly qualifies her for the ten-year one, not the five-year one everyone else is trying to say SOL applies.
