Trapped In America@lemmy.dbzer0.comto News@lemmy.world•Florida police under fire as video of Black man punched, dragged by deputies during traffic stop goes viralEnglish1·1 day agoOh it’s abused alright. They’re called pretextual stops and they’re basically used to skirt your rights of unreasonable search and seizure.
Despite the fact that SOCTUS has ruled that traffic stops are NOT grounds for further criminal investigations.

This has been a thing forever here. It’s common(-ish) knowledge to leave your seatbealt on until the cop approaches you. Otherwise they’re allowed to assume that you also weren’t wearing it before the stop and write you a ticket. It’s dumb.
Which sucks for guys, since we usually carry our wallets in our back pocket. So our first instinct is to take off the belt, take out our wallet and have everything ready for the cop when they walk up. Which is a $100 mistake you only make once (hopefully).

From the cops lying on the report about him reaching for a knife, which the cellphone video shows clearly didn’t happen, to the State Attorney writing it off and the Sheriff going full DARVO during the press conference.
Sheriff’s Full Press Conference and Bodycam Footage
Notes:
- The sheriff was in church when the story broke, so it inconvenienced him during his Good Boy time.
- The victim should have filed a complaint so the Sheriff’s Office could do things The Right Way (aka. get ahead of the story).
- The unannounced public release of the cellphone video was intended to hurt the Sheriff’s Office reputation (no shit). Implying they’re the real victims here.

Trapped In America@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•6G mobile could divide the worldEnglish22·4 days agoIt’s encryption has been broken for some time now, which leaves it vulnerable to some pretty serious security issues. On top of the obvious issue of people with the right know-how just listening to your calls and reading your texts, which you probably don’t want.
(It’s also how most cops/feds tap phones these days.)

AI content usually starts to look more mosaic (random shapes clumped together) as you zoom, not grainy/compressed.

Trapped In America@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Europe@feddit.org•US-founded extremist group claims killing of Ukrainian security service colonel in KyivEnglish5·8 days agoYeah, the whole connection to the Base bit feels off to me. Like it’s propaganda/recruiting material for actual Base members rather than proof of involvement.

Trapped In America@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•A Little-Known Microsoft Program Could Expose the US Defense Department to Chinese HackersEnglish4·10 days agoI’ve actually seen medical offices setup similarly. Some random computer in a back office with all of their patient data on it, completely exposed to the internet, protected by nothing but a few Windows Firewall rules limiting the connections to a few IP blocks. Just so they can share information office-to-office for say… a root canal and dental crown to be done on the same day, but at 2 separate locations due to limited space.
I’d run out of fingers if I were to count the number of times I’ve seen similar setups, 3-4 toes would be needed at least.
Trapped In America@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•A Little-Known Microsoft Program Could Expose the US Defense Department to Chinese HackersEnglish12·10 days agoFun Fact: I once worked with a team that were mapping Iran’s internet infrastructure… for reasons. One of the ways we were able to zero in on the more important systems was because we kept finding these weird Cisco routers that had Telnet exposed to the open internet. All of which just so happened to share neighboring IPs (or close enough) with some pretty serious government systems. Fun times.
I’m not a CISCO tech, so I don’t know the specifics beyond that. But I do remember that the Telnet connection would permanently ban any IP that failed even a single password attempt. So they had that going for them, I guess lol

The thing is hella faded and probably a good 30+ years old now. I haven’t seen another one in years.
Trapped In America@lemmy.dbzer0.comto News@lemmy.world•Statewide 911 outage reported in PennsylvaniaEnglish19·13 days agoI’ve only ever met a few people that knew non-emergency numbers were a thing. Let alone know them by heart. So I bet this going swimmingly.

Because fuck Steve! He’s a free thinker! Steve isn’t gonna tell him what to do!
They’re literally that easy to manipulate. At this point, we should just organize so-called “leftist actions” that are just bait for them to waste their time/money trying to counter. Because they will, they absolutely fucking will. See the picture above and the videos of morons burning sports jerseys or shooting 24-packs of Bud Lite.
Take a look, it’s in a book…
