most police, especially in smaller areas, don't have the people on hand or on call to explain all this "techy" stuff to the people who make these decisions OR those people choose to ignore them... it seems like it takes 10+ years for cops to catch up and improve their investigation techniques, at least in the smaller areas with fewer resources.
- eth0up 10y agoNot disputing that necessarily, but take note that SPD has been very very busy[1] with their Stingray IMSI catchers and a host of other fairly sophisticated equipment. Even for an entry-level officer, an Associate degree or several years of military service is required. From my personal observations, the average SPD officer or deputy is pretty bright and even well informed. The chief of Police here has a masters degree and went to an FBI National Academy, although she wasn't chief back then. Also, I believe the FBI was involved in the above mentioned raid. And while I enjoy cynicism, the FBI is anything but stupid. 1 https://www.wired.com/2014/06/feds-seize-stingray-documents/ https://www.wired.com/2014/06/feds-seize-stingray-documents/
