So, what else this horrible Uber does? Maybe it locks office doors at night so that random people cannot enter and take whatever they want?

- azernik 9y agoMore like, putting all documents in their lockboxes (which exist for a good reason) when the police show up during normal business hours with a warrant.
- larkeith 9y agoDetails on the specific warrants are scarce in the listed article, but if the police had a warrant for specific data, it seems strange that they would be raiding satellite locations. Moreover, with a properly scoped warrant, my understanding is that authorities may seize locked devices and compel Uber to unlock them. While I am loathe to defend Uber, these measures appear designed explicitly to prevent police fishing expeditions, which I am fully in favour of, and to serve little further purpose.
- detuur 9y agoThe equivalent here would be locking the door at noon while there's people in the building. Why would you need to "nuke the site from orbit" during business hours? What kind of competitor are you protecting against? One that breaks in in broad daylight with guns and steals servers? It's a system designed to thwart the collection of evidence. And that's very very illegal.
