Fapper_McFapper , in Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules

Except a thumbprint or blood draw doesn’t automatically give you access to my cock photos.

I wish there were a nice quick way to do lockdown on an Android phone. Right now you have to hold down the power button and tap the lockdown button on screen. Which requires you to pull out your phone and is completely obvious.

Shoot, even a time based lockdown, so like if you don't use biometrics in the last hour or whatever, then you must use your passphrase. Or any other number of logic conditions like location, wifi connect, finger used...

Android has ROMs that have stronger features, but basic Android is lacking in this area.

E.g. CalyxOS allows you to put the phone in "Before First Unlock" mode. In which even if extracted only has system data, not user data.
GrapheneOS uses even stronger protections, it lock downs the whole kernel.

nick , in Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules

This is why I always power off my phone when in line for the tsa or when im pulled over. They can’t force me to enter my password. Yet.

perviouslyiner , in ‘Lol, No’ Is The Perfect Response To LAPD’s Nonsense ‘IP’ Threat Letter Over ‘Fuck The LAPD’ Shirt

"Up there with Arkell vs Pressdam" - yup!

shasta , in Disney on the hook for $345,000 in ‘Beauty and the Beast’ infringement case

Oh no, they're gonna go bankrupt!

paysrenttobirds , in No One Can Own The Law—So Why Is Congress Advancing A Bill To Extend Copyright To It?

Naming a bill opposite of what it does should be a crime

TheFonz , in Former Aurora firefighter who gave Elijah McClain ketamine sentenced to 4 years probation

Excited delirium is a made up condition by a quack doctor. It is not based on any real evidence and police departments' favorite line for forced intervention.

Donjuanme , in Finger guns in court

Finger guns or finger pulling a gun trigger...

Wait it doesn't matter, you're in court, put on your best appearance.

However if the latter, fuck that defendant, if the prior, dudes a maroon

Starb3an , in Backpage executives acquitted of previous prostitution, money laundering convictions

A jury convicts them then the judge just throws out some of the convictions??

Yes. The Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure gives judges immense power.

In conclusion, after viewing the record in the light most favorable to the Government, the Court finds there is insufficient of evidence to support convictions under Counts 19–51 <...> and Counts 66–99 <...>.

quicksand , in Court upholds New York law that says ISPs must offer $15 broadband

the state law requires ISPs to offer "broadband at no more than $15 per month for service of 25Mbps, or $20 per month for high-speed service of 200Mbps," the ruling noted

I'm glad they defined minimum speeds. I could see ISPs getting around it by selling something uselessly slow.

DrSleepless , in First seven of 70 defendants in alleged $250m Covid relief funds scam go to trial

Can't wait for them to go after Joel Osteen

My family said I was dumb for hoarding Sears catalog lingere sections, but who's laughing now.

mrsemi , in Supreme Court decides not to block Texas law that age-gates porn websites

As a truck driver, encountering this when scrolling my feed just makes me laugh.

It's not just Texas either.
