COMMENTARY | According to The New York Times, the FBI just raided a data center in Virginia and seized many of its servers, causing websites owned by "tens of clients" to go offline -- including those belonging to people who hadn't broken a law, and were not suspected of any crime. It may seem silly to get upset about the police taking down websites you don't use. A certain quote may come to mind, though, as we look at other ways that the police in America abuse their power.

After the recent Vancouver riots, it became clear that the world is surveiling itself at an unprecedented scale. Angry citizens gave police one million photos and 1,000 hours of video footage to help them track down the rioters. If we aren't living in a surveillance state run by the government, we're certainly conducting a huge surveillance experiment on each other. Which is what makes two new apps, CopRecorder and OpenWatch, and their Web component, OpenWatch.net, so interesting. They are the brainchildren of Rich Jones, a 23-year-old Boston University graduate who describes himself as "pretty much a hacker to the core." Flush with cash and time from a few successful ...

Choice Administration Jobs, Contracts, Meetings for Obama’s Megadonors Many of the donors who raised large amounts of money for President Barack Obama’s 2008 election have since landed excellent jobs with the Administration. One of President Barack Obama’s first campaign promises during the 2008 election was that he would work to eliminate the influence of moneyed political players, who had “turned our government into a game only they can afford to play.” Yet some of the President’s biggest campaign donors have since landed choice jobs, contracts and private meetings with the Obama Administration.

Ind. court: No right to resist 'unlawful police entry'

The Indiana Supreme Court has ruled that people cannot keep police from entering their homes, even if the entry is "unlawful." In a 3-2 decision, the court held there are valid reasons for police officers to enter homes without a warrant and without knocking , including concerns for an officer's safety or that a suspect may escape or that evidence may be destroyed. "We believe. . .a right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence," wrote Justice Steven David. "We also find that allowing resistance unnecessarily escalates the level of violence and therefore the risk of ...

This machine can let police see all of your photos. Even that one. (Credit: Matt Hickey/Cellebrite) The Michigan State Police have started using handheld machines called "extraction devices" to download personal information from motorists they pull over, even if they're not suspected of any crime. Naturally, the ACLU has a problem with this. The devices, sold by a company called Cellebrite, can download text messages, photos, video, and even GPS data from most brands of cell phones.

Is Dayton Police Officer Wolpert a corrupt Police Officer

Dayton Police Officer Wolpert testified in Dayton court that he pulled over a driver because he was a known person who drove without a license. The problem is that Officer Wolpert wrote a ticket saying the driver was pulled over for a turn signal violation. Wolpert is obviously lying. Does anyone else out there on the worldwide web know of any violatons that Wolpert has commited. If you know of any crimes that Wolpert has commited sign on and tell us about it. We want true stories and not made up stuff. I have also witnessed Officer Wolpert search a vehicle without a search warrant. That is why I think Wolpert is a corrupt police officer.
