Google tracked his bike ride past a burglarized home. That made him a suspect.

I guess I need one of those Faraday pouches.

I’ve changed a half dozen of those, and MAN those screws are tiny...

> If you don’t feel waiving your rights is worth the use of the product/service, don’t buy the product/service. <

That’s a fair point. But what we’re talking about here is essentially a utility. We are not talking about a mundane product like a frozen dinner or a shirt.

Let’s say that my electric company (the only one in my area) had a clause in their agreement saying the police can enter my house without a warrant to see if I’m stealing electricity. I would argue that such a clause should be illegal.

There is a simple solution to this problem: avoid using Google for anything. Google has one purpose. They exist to collect and assemble data about you, your family and neighbors so they can package and sell it to businesses, governments and NGOs and they can manipulate you.

Their research group is open and honest about this. This is especially true if you are conservative. If they cannot successful propagandize you to their position the will seek to isolate and ostracize you so you cannot counter their propaganda efforts with your “dangerous” ideas and radical thinking.

Google is flat out evil and possibly the most dangerously evil company in the world.

Yeah, right. "out of the box factory-shipped condition" lasts until you hit the first agree/accept/ok prompt or log into your account. Or for that matter configure your phone number. Just trying to use your brand-new IOS device will expose you to the risk. And lets not forget that NSA/DIA/FBI/CIA/etc ran ops to intercept shipments for physical access exploits.

There's plenty of gotchas in your assumptions. I read the exploit reports. The only way to win is not to play, HHOS. I give Apple points for verifiably attempting to hold the line, but it's impossible to avoid nation state interference or unethical/criminal exploiters piggybacking on the state actor exploits. Hedging is the best you can do. Think different, heheh.

“Kind of like those constables down Somerset Kentucky who were making a killing off of asset forfeiture and the FBI finally came after them. It’s too bad the one that got shot is going to live.”

Yikes! I missed that story.

Got a link? I do not like Asset Forfeiture Laws. It’s a ripe recipe for making Dirty Cops/Feds/LEOs.

The link is one of several waves to view your Google timeline history.
It can also be found via the google maps app.

You may have to log in to google.

Excellent read for any of those among us who cling to some notion that we still live in a "free" country...

Mao, Stalin, Hitler, and others are anguishing in hell over the fact that they never had the great advantages that the police state in the U.S. has at it's disposal...

Like Ronald Reagan said (In 1964):
"You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.”

This Nation is certainly well into the first decades of that "last step"...

Uh oh. This might make it obvious to the libertarians that Google is actually a behind the scenes arm of the government.

That’s a very good point. Not that anyone in power cares, but no EULA should be able to strip you of your fundamental rights as an American citizen.

Yup. Like the loss of your freedom of speech on public participation communications systems.

Except for school zones, if you aren’t speeding in Texas, you are a traffic hazard.

I’m on my phone so I’m going to let you do the work.

In your search engine put FBI agent shot Somerset Kentucky. You get all the stories you want

You will have to read carefully, probably more than one article, to catch that they were ripping off innocent people. I didn’t find it until I knew to look for it.

I kinda wonder why the nature of their crimes got so little mention. /sarc

I tried to find out more details; noticed, like you did, extremely little on the details of what they’re alleged to have done.

It’s extremely frustrating to think that the criminals they helped to put away probably have valid grounds for dismissal of their charges/convictions.

I’d rather let someone go than to risk a false charge by a corrupt LEO.

That said, then nail the LEO to the wall for all the expense that will be caused and have the prison sentence appropriate with the heartache that will be caused to the actual victims of criminals, should said criminals have to be released.

I just HATE dirty LEOs of any status/placement/agency. And that includes dirty judges. I really HATE them even more because they often go along with the corrupt LEOs.

Off my soapbox.

P.S. I wrote the title down and hope to find out more as the case goes forth. So much information is learned from this site! Again, thank you!

As I noted in an earlier post, these two deserve to end up in Dante’s Ninth Circle of hell. An area reserved for the betrayers.

This isn't Google's fault. They're just responding to a warrant, and in fact are notifying the consumer to give him a chance to contest it.

Nothing different than any cell provider could be asked for.

You really need a new boogieman to be the object of your anxieties.

A geofence is an imaginary boundary (any shape) defined by latitude and longitude (lat/lon), in which the interest is about devices crossing into and/or out of the area inside the boundary.

I imagine they are looking for devices that came into the area and left the area during the time when they think the incident took place.

Conversely - anyone could be exonerated if their device was not detected in the fence during that time period. If the guy was biking, and didn’t stop as he was going by, they’ll take him off the list. Typical pings (sampling) range from one to three minutes. A bike at 10-15 mph would cover between .2 and .5 miles between pings. If he wasn’t still for three or four pings, at the house’s lat/lon, he should be in the clear.
