I am not trying to excuse bad policing but in the US this is a chimera. You have the police, some are corrupt, some are a bad fit for the job, some are lazy and stupid, and some are run-down and underpaid. You have prosecutors making their

Must have been a poorly made jammer or multiple jammers. 5G is sub 6GHz, LTE is sub 4GHz and for Santa Clara county almost all public service and trunked radio systems are sub 1GHz (radioreference has most of the frequencies between 300MHz+

Not sure your exact use-case but if you are frequency-limited by the RTL and you feel like soldering, you can mod a SUP-2400[0] to be a 4.5GHz downconverter for the RTL[1]. [0]: https://www.solidsignal.com/zinwell-directv-b-

I would try contacting the EFF, they might be interested in taking up the case or might be able to find you a lawyer who is willing to. This is the second time in a few months that I have seen this issue crop up: https://news.yco

Perhaps epilepsy was a bad choice. How about for cardiac arrest, stroke, or any number of undiagnosed medical conditions that could cause someone to create dangerous/fatal conditions outside of their control?

If someone has an epileptic seizure or a diabetic goes into hypoglycemic shock whilst driving and gets into a head on collision and kills someone should they go to prison? They call it mental illness for a reason.

This may be a stupid idea and it is outside my expertise (IANAL): Would legally classifying identity information as intellectual property help? I don't know the case law around identity as private property but I would imagine requiring

I trust people with money as their motive about as much as I'd trust a serious alcoholic to hold on to a bottle of booze for me without taking a sip. Might not be a popular opinion but it is my 2 cents to spend. Could a someone at an o

I am not sure I'd subscribe to that theory. I am no friend to google but they have some very sharp people working in security to the extent I wouldn't be suprised if NSA tried to poach them. NSA getting caught pwning google would

Sure, of course there is tension between security and control, the same systems that allow me to secure my system from tampering or theft can also be used against me by the vendor to stop me from having full access. I don't think that
