- tonyhb 13y agoNot really – the Kentucky police chief is paid in bitcoin: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57614544-93/kentucky-police-chief-to-be-paid-in-bitcoin/ http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57614544-93/kentucky-police... People don't have to be working in the tech scene to be interested.
- sounds 13y agoIronically, the officers didn't know it was _Satoshi_ _Nakamoto_ until she said so. They're just helping the guy remove a trespasser, which is well within their line of duty. Oh, and the homeowner who called them is named "Satoshi Nakamoto." What do you want to bet they don't really know/care who that is? Especially if he is cleared for classified work, he will know exactly who to call to get some law enforcement backup. Seriously, don't try to break into a guy's house who is employed by the U.S. Government and has access to that kind of stuff. (I know she didn't break in, but she's definitely invading.)
- edraferi 13y agoSadly, government contract work doesn't usually include your own personal drone army. our the authority to mobilize national law enforcement assets. they're just jobs.
- drrotmos 13y agoUm... I don't know about the U.S., but I've done some work involving classified information in Sweden, and it's not like you get access to a special hotline or anything. If you are in immediate danger you still call the regular emergency number like everyone else. Besides, not everyone works with Top Secret information, that's the entire purpose of having different classifications. Even Restricted information is still classified.
