Another Brit here, yes cops do get punished in high profile cases with video evidence such as this.
The contradictory examples listed above were quite complex cases from what I remember.
That said, as a teenager a friend of mine was beaten up in a police van in a case of mistaken identity. He was advised by his lawyer to drop the case as there was little chance of proving what happened as the police had smashed up his phone which he had been recording them with.
Due to the context of police officers being injured prior to what’s shown on tape. I expect in this instance, the cop to get a lenient pushiment.
This is me, too. I run a dual Sim on my phone for this reason. I’ve always been good at ignoring things after hours unless motivated by self interest.
Yes, I agree, a terrible parenting strategy. Also fuck elf on the shelf, since the whole book is about how the elf is Santa’s spy and you can’t question or touch it. I’m pretty sure this is what gave her the awful idea.
Feel you. I got accused by my brother in law of being some kind of psychopath for not wanting Santa in the house.
In their house, my sister is already using the threat of Christmas big brother against any minor hijinks that their kid gets up to.
I have a three year old, so unfortunately, I have another 4 years of this nonsense ahead of me.
It’s from an episode of Pingu. I only know this because it terrified me as a child and still haunts my nightmares as I approach my 40s.
1·1 year agoIt was Boris who introduced the idea of ULEZ and the Tory Party who endorsed it. It was their policy to begin with!
Being able to pay for for therapy, or being financially secure to admit to yourself that you have a problem is a privilage.
Source: would like to do therapy but life/raising 3 kids is in the way.
Perry Bible Fellowship is the best Web comic. Been reading it on/off for what must be 20 years now.
3·1 year agoSame pirated the first few seasons, but bought the box sets as Christmas presents for older family members. They made their money out of me.
1·1 year agoAnecdotal, but I don’t see the rush to downvote legit opinions because people disagree with them. Lemmy seems a lot more chill at present.
2·1 year agoOh I agree. My original comment was adding to the one preceeding mine, not a direct response to the article. Yes, the US needs GDPR, despite it making aspects of my job annoying I am glad it exists.
From the article: “Firms say this data is anonymized but the truth is that it can easily be de-anonymized. The data brokerage industry is pretty much totally unregulated, allowing for an assortment of unsavory customers to buy Americans’ data willy nilly.”
Isn’t this the real issue and not the headline? US really needs GDPR.
I can’t comment on that! Just that phone data is very valuable for transportation modelling!
Unfortunately, I am the boot in this case.
74 page document about mobile phone data and transportation modeling.
Origin destination data from cell phones is useful for fairly obvious reasons.
Americans: we will cry foul online until we get an adequate transportation system.
Also Americans: we will cry foul online if you try to collect the data that you need to plan a transportation system.
Just one example of how phone data is useful.
It’s fine, she said in an interview afterwards that her next career move is fulfilling a lifetime ambition of joining the circus. So the spot is still open.
