Do you warn people in your conversations that they are being recorded? Do you include a recording notification, a beep, while the conversation is going on? No? Then you'll probably have a knock on the door by the feds if you live in the US for violating wiretapping laws.

If they developed it it's owned by the US public presumably. If they bought it from one of the trustworthy vendors out there then they probably just have a license.

If you don't trust your kids then you have a more serious issue. You can see if there's a problem just by looking at the phone bill. Kids will be kids but you have to lead by example so they don't get themselves into a situation that could compromise their privacy or security.

Uh Law enforcement wouldn't use this, they have their own tools. Parents monitoring their kids? Plausible but it's also probably used by suspicious spouses to catch their partner in the act. It's an inevitable fact that since smart phones have become so ubiquitous now that this tool didn't show up on the radar sooner. What seems hypocritical to me in the case is that this guy sells a product that covers quite a bit of what Apple and Google do to a large extent already; track you. Of course their purposes are for "system quality" and "targeted ads" but there's still a substantial amount of metadata collected and cataloged. This guy just goes one step further and enables some features that obviously the government doesn't want you to have so they can monopolize the nefarious practices.

How about finding all of those guns that went south of the border first? This kind of case is just noise to distract us from the other shit the DoJ has fucked up for nearly 6 years.

you forgot "mushroom mushroom" and "snake snake" FTFY.

So why not fly around in a plane over the area? You don't need a drone. This is another dumb example of how a cheap toy ( $1000) device is being warranted as a savior. Nope, sorry this is malfeasance on the part of local officials.

Who said police work was easy? I don't have to help them do anything.

Yeah that's how I caught the local assessment district, in the corner there was a faint (c) google with the year. They were violating state law, which didn't sit well with the arbitration board. Lazy civil servants.

Wow, I can understand about earthquakes but still out of the $2mil in revenue they supposedly could get back I'm wondering out of what base? Like $200mil? 1%? Everybody lauds the new technology as catching scofflaws but in reality I'll bet people mostly go along with it and pay them no matter what.

Sales taxes were impressed upon the building materials or were taxed against the business profits of the developer. You're paying for those hidden costs in the price you pay. When I close on a house I have to pay the taxes for assessed property valuation. It's not a sales tax, it's a property tax. I also live in a special "improvement district" with taxes for shit that I don't even use. When you sell your house, unless you reinvest in another property and have a property you then have capital gains to consider. You're caught coming or going, it doesn't matter. The best plan is to live under a bridge in a tent.

And I pay taxes on that, taxes to change a fence or a fees for a sprinkler system. I pay sewer tax, I pay for schools and I pay for drainage and infrastructure.
I pay a commission tax on my Internet, one on my electricity, my gas and water. I also pay Federal and Local taxes for roads etc. Every single solitary thing I do in life is basically taxed. I'll also compare how much I give the fucking feds compared to you any day. My point was that if I put an "improvement" onto a property, that I payed tax on the laborers were taxed on the pay they received, what gives the government the right to then assess, annually, a value added tax on that? I'll tell you, they have no fucking right. Why? Because if I sell my house for more than I paid for it and don't reinvest it I'm supposed to pay a capital gains tax. You can't win, you're taxed to death in the US. SO, dumbass, Yes I do pay taxes on everything and its getting worse every stinking year and the last fucking thing I need is some more taxation or some fucking bureaucrat snooping around looking for some other fucking reason to extract more money out of my wallet.

Exactly it's not like the government gave away weapons to criminals and then they started shooting people. Oh wait. Never Mind.

Yeah, here for our protection.

Fuck off, I don't give you permission to download my phone contents nor do I give you permission ICE agents to copy my laptop contents. The information on my devices belongs to me and not to you. If you have a suspicion of a crime and need my data, get a warrant fucksticks!

camo netting. Where's the nearest Army Surplus again?
