"The Michigan State Police have a high-tech mobile forensics device that can be used to extract information from cell phones belonging to motorists stopped for minor traffic violations. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Michigan last Wednesday demanded that state officials stop stonewalling freedom of information requests for information on the program. A US Department of Justice test of the CelleBrite UFED used by Michigan police found the device could grab all of the photos and video off of an iPhone within one-and-a-half minutes. The device works with 3000 different phone models and can even defeat password protections. 'Complete extraction of existing, hidden, and deleted phone data, including call history, text messages, contacts, images, and geotags,' a CelleBrite brochure explains regarding the device's capabilities" Popular Mechanics has a short conversation with a 4th Amendment lawyer about the practice of slurping cellphone data, too, though it's unclear if the Michigan police are actually using these devices to their full potential.
We live in a totalitarian fascist regime run by bureaucracies.
And it will get worse..
Second, you accuse me of being drunk because we have a basic debate or disagreement but you won't debate or discuss...that is most unbecoming of a FReeper of your stature (been here since 2000, yet I've seen many before you get zotted)
I posted my opinions yet you would not post facts to argue let alone dispute them.
You just call me stupid and drunk.
Which premise? Do I have to guess?
Second, you accuse me of being drunk because...
...I was trying to give you a decent excuse.

The same could be said of your status (if that has any real meaning) and I've seen old FReepers get zotted for harassing people with the 'troll' meme too.
You just call me stupid and drunk.
It's just my way of calling you a panty waste trolling serf. No one likes redundant ad-hominems. ;^P
Ping, dag gone isn’t there any privacy anymore?
Phones need a four digit WIPE ALL code.
Unless they grab it and jam it directly into the machine, any cop is probably going to ask for the PIN first. Give them one and then grin as they brick it.
No, learn how to read, jerk.
Any particular post or just all of them? There must be a dozen premises set out in the beginning of the thread. I thought you at least meant a premise I made but now you the thread in general is open to the search. Moron.
Learn how to write, dipstick.
Ooops, meant to ping you to this......
That's what I thought when I read your posts here.
BTW, your crass, foul and otherwise unbcomming FR mails are not welcome.
You FReep-mailed me first with your foul-mouthed garbage you nitwit.
Shall I post your FReep-mails to me? That you sent first.
Well? Do you want me to post your FReep-mails to me? It’s a simple question. You know it will be deleted like the one you posted. So, shall I post them?
Why don’t you be a man and explain that what I wrote was a direct emulation of what you wrote to me and that I just repeated it a few more times than you to make a point? Can you man up and do that?
Yes, yes, please do....
FReep-mail is intended to be private. I assumed that’s why you used it to unleash your initial barrage of profanity.
Say goodnight, FRiend.
Let’s just end this, okay?
You both know it is against the rules.
And you might think about stopping your flame war.
