Michigan Police Could Search Cell Phones During Traffic Stops [what's a 'constitution'?]
Slashdot ^ | 4/19/11 | timothy

"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.

Now that is just a stupid comment.

Care to back up why you would make it?

It’s obvious from the stupidity of your posts. Nothing more needs to be said.

Convince me, if you can. Don't start with the name calling either. I've been here for a while and have enjoyed reading what you post, I'd like the same respect.

If you can show me where I've gone wrong on this thread, present your argument and I'll listen, don't resort to childish name calling....FRiend.

Reading comprehension is NOT your strong suit is it?

Can’t “give up” what I never owned, or desired to own.

What I DO have, I protect very successfully.

As to “Troll”, YOU are the one spewing insults and unable to comprehend simple statements!
Sad to see you are (allegedly) also in Nevada, looks like you should return to Kalifornia ASAP.
I’m done with your trolling nastiness, go beat on your own family for a while.

Like repeated accusations of serf and troll? lol

Respect is earned and easily lost.

Does that include 'serf,' 'troll' and 'pantie(sic) waste?'

Panty, pantie, that's what you want to dispute?

Six of one, half dozen of the other.

You've been here for all of these years and you can't spot a troll?

Oh well.

Um, I’m not ex-military, you baffled me with your reference and comment.

My C2/NFA activities are perfectly legal, it’s how I make my living.
I know many people are unaware of the full extent of RKBA rights, and some are uncomfortable with them when they learn.

I think education is more effective than continued ignorance, so I am not afraid to speak on C2/NFA matters.

BTW, you have presented no argument as to how I am “drunk”

I challenged you to put up or shut up.....still waiting to see how my reasoning is flawed.

Very interesting response that I have found consistent here, when a poster cannot argue a point, he/she accuses the other of being drunk.

Interesting that....care to argue facts or do you want to hide behind accusations?

Of course I could consider the fact that maybe you follow Lenin and "accuse them of what you do"

Let me take your tact, are you sober enough to understand that comment?

No argument eh?

Can't defend your position eh?

That's a shame, would have expected more from you, but alas.

If you could post a lucid explanation of how Loyal Sedition’s posts are trolling behavior you wouldn’t have to ask me to prove my accusation. As it is you’ve already proved it.
