No, "in rem" civil forfeiture says that the items are a guilty party in the criminal action. It is no different to putting a person in pretrial detention until their case reaches trial.

Timbs v. Indiana is a great case. I've seen too many civil forfeitures where someone lost their brand new $60,000 car because they got some sort of minor traffic infraction. In theory, Timbs has limited that. I've not seen it used

As a current prisoner, one of the nice things about private prisons is that they are so thirsty for profit that a lot of them bypass all the asinine rules about security that government prisons have in order to sell you anything and everyth

I actually really appreciated the comment above. Downvote it if you don't like it. If it gets enough downvotes because the community hates it, then it'll go away.

Good luck on this. Might not stop you getting arrested and put into pretrial detention for years until you find the right prosecutor to dismiss the charges. A policy isn't a change in the law. The statute needs to be changed to add an

One of the primary features of DALL-E 2 is inpainting. Thus, if they allowed it, you could easily just paint out a celebrity's clothed figure and ask DALL-E to replace it with a nude.

Depends on jurisdiction. Not a huge amount of places have outlawed fake CSAM yet, but it is growing.

And good luck to anyone who thinks they know which way a judge will rule on anything. (Unless you've paid them off)

None of the leaked specs (if real) for iPhone 14 include a "Mini" variant, so it looks like Apple killed theirs. I'm going to buy a 13 Mini because of Apple's long term support, so it should last me a good few years.

Years ago I bought a cell phone number which ended 69696969. I thought it was hilarious. For about a day. Then I realized the number was written on every toilet cubical in the country with "for a good time call: " and the phone ne

This is very true. If you go to jail often you know the things that can help to get your case settled out quickly for a low plea.

You're right, but the poster above seemed to be talking for a whole population, which I then did too by talking about Americans as a counter-example. It's just that my experience of the Netherlands isn't that they are particu

It doesn't need to be intentionally engineered. Humans are very creative and can find ways around systemic limits. There is that old adage which says something like "a hacker only needs to be right once, while the defenders have t

This isn't a theoretical case. I had this happen with regularity, and I'm sure many others have too. I ran an online business and one of my competitors hired someone to constantly email PayPal and tell them I was selling CSAM. Pay

This is a good idea. To be safe against AI misfires, a government agent could be assigned to watch each child 24x7 wherever they are, whatever they are doing: sleeping, eating, bathing, using the restroom, etc. That way there is no chance o

If you look at the history of litigation of nudism magazines in the 80s and 90s it is exactly that. Some magazines were allowed in, some were banned and the owners imprisoned because a judge said that some of the photos weren't candid

The hashes are likely provided by some outside agency who is fine with transferring the hashes, but would have qualms about transferring multi-petabytes of the matching CSAM images.

I think your racism meter is mis-calibrated. Sure, the Dutch are a bit funny about all the Turks in the country, but I find their racism against the Turks to be way lower than say a lot of Americans' racism against Hispanics.

I think of "1984" as a wider concept than just the conditions laid out in the book. I suspect most people do these days.

It was a quantum algorithm. It's in a superposition between the two values. I won't know until I look at it.
