You sure that’s been ruled on? Not arguing, only feel like I’ve seen a lot more instances of police violating that than hearing they couldn’t do it.

Edit: my apologies, you’re right. I was able to check into it and see recent rulings. Warrant levels may vary, but they need a warrant.

If i recall correctly, law enforcement can use biometric information to unlock phones without your consent or a warrant.

PIN codes still by consent or warrant only.

“Why not both.”

This!

Edit: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!

You beat me to it by a minute or two!

Don’t forget office chairs if you have a desk job!

Awesome, but who said there’s no point? Like, literally. Where?

Maybe you implied that from what I said, but there was no such verbiage.

It’s important to be clear in communicating. I’m sorry that you misunderstood one throw-away line and made an assumption of who I was based on that.

And thank you for the reply, sincerely.

Who said I do nothing?

I’m on the leadership board for my local political party’s senate district as a Table Officer.

I help field manage and campaign with leftist candidates door knocking weekly (edit: and my candidates win).

I’m pretty involved.

Maybe I do those things because of my “worthless perspective”… but… what do you do?

How are you making change? What are you doing besides throwing insults at a person who is helping, especially when volunteers are so hard to come by?

Edit: As you can tell, I’m all “woe is me, let’s do nothing…”

Your suggestions are appreciated but they were not asked for - I don’t like pretending.

My wife is a journalism major and I’m very involved locally in politics.

Weaning myself off the news won’t make the planet any cooler during this time.

Weaning myself off the news doesn’t stop those with money and influence from being above the law.

Weaning myself off the news doesn’t change anything, except make me less informed.

Ignorance may be bliss to some, but to others it’s just ignorance. Downvote away, but honestly I’ll stick to this until we have an actual Utopia (without slaves).

I find it hard to play make believe as an adult.

I mean “You’re right. Everything is fine.”

Oh no…

Anyway.

Who’s pretending?

“Just pretend this dystopia is a utopia and you’ll be fine!”
