But again, the data isn't private regardless of who collected it. Images taken of public spaces in plain view don't require a warrant to collect.
The Chatrie case is really relevant to ALPRS. The Chatrie case involves the government demanding private phone GPS location data from Google. This is not covered by the plain view doctrine because the data they're…
RF usage is governed by the FCC. Amateur Radio exists at the mercy of the government, and if there is widespread abuse or careless operation by amateur radio operators then that will likely jeopardize the continued…
Are newer baofengs locked down? I thought you can still just hold down 3 buttons while power cycling the radio to unlock TX from 400 to 520 MHz. Regardless, the Quansheng UV-K5 is largely supplanting the Baofeng as the…
Almost certainly not, at least not unless they also did something tangible to encourage people to destroy the cameras. At the end of the day, the cameras are out in public in plain view. There's no credible argument…
This doesn't necessarily change the dynamic, though. The government has a finite number of lawyers. Diverting them to write subpoena after subpoena for to Flock is still a hefty opportunity cost relative to what hose…
Paying a lawyer to petition a judge for a subpoena (which the judge may or may not grant) is probably much more expensive than whatever Flock charges.
She was arrested for making an off-topic opinion. Someone delivering a rant about abortion on a city council meeting would likewise be removed. I don't see a government losing face, I see a bunch of online commenters…
What part did I forget? Nothing in the First Amendment compels other people to listen to your speech.
Yes, San Francisco still has a massive tech scene. Especially during the AI boom in the last few years. It's true that NYC recently eclipsed SF in terms of the raw number of tech workers, but considering the roughly…
I thought Meta's approach to AR was pivoting towards transparent glasses with displays in the vein of Ray Ban Display and Orion (I realize that "VR" is in the title, but almost all the images show AR use cases). Their…
Getting linux on the Surface laptop series would be amazing. Good battery life on a small laptop running linux is my ideal device.
Uh huh. Regardless of your semantic quibbling about the word "schedule", at the end of the day there was neither the opportunity to make a public comment about abortion nor to make one about ALPRs. If someone went up to…
As I wrote, the city council did not schedule a public comments period on the issue of ALPRs. I'm not sure why you think anything in your quote contradicts what I wrote in the previous comment.
The context of why she made the off-topic comments is that there was no scheduled public comments period with ALPRs as the topic. Similarly, there seems to be no scheduled public comments period with abortion as the…
> Again, your hypothetical is not equivalent because it assumes that the "activists" a. had their own public comments section, and b. they monopolized the entire meeting. Neither of those things happened here. What do…
Activists are able to speak about Flock and criticize Flock - just not at public comments meeting on unrelated topics. They can still protest in other public spaces, they can organize anti-Flock marches, there are so,…
And? The point remains: freedom of speech is not a guarantee that you'll have an audience. Like it or not, the city council has no obligation to grant an audience to her. That's probably bad for their reelection…
When was the last time the council held a public comments period on abortion? You seem to operating under the assumption that such a comments period on that topic has taken place recently, but I don't see any evidence…
Except allowing people to take up a full two minutes, or however long the allotted time is, discussing unrelated topics deprive people who want to make an on-topic comment of that opportunity. Let's say the council…
You're entitled to freedom of speech. You're not entitled to an audience. She can petition her elected representatives elsewhere, just not during a public comments session on sidewalk codes. If the community is…
People can still dissent and protest - just not in the specific scenario of council meetings on sidewalk codes.
The point of civil disobedience is to be arrested. That's the goal of civil disobedience.
That doesn't make make it permissible to try and use the comments periods on other meetings to talk about Flock. The point remains, she was not removed for simply voicing opposition to Flock cameras. The was arrested…
That doesn't make make it permissible to hijack other meetings. The point remains, she was not removed for simply voicing opposition to Flock cameras. The was arrested and removed for trying to derail an unrelated…
