Our local sheriff is using some spy level shit in our county that he refuses to explain.
He keeps “happening” upon crimes just “on accident.” yesterday it was “stopped to take a pee in public park and caught a baddie” and two days before that it was “just happen to follow and pull over a guy with lots of pounds of pot hidden in the car.”
The US police are spying on Americans phones, internet, GPS, and everything with no judicial recourse because it is corporations spying and then “giving the info” to the police for money.
The US law enforcement has gone full STAZI but using capitalism as additional cover.
The US is dead.
Let’s all apologize to Stallman.
the man has rarely been proven wrong in anything tech related he has said
Good thing you put the “tech related” qualifier on there. He probably should have stayed in that lane.
Indeed.
It’s also a reminder of why we shouldn’t mindlessly celebrate celebrity figures like they’re deities.
Stallman has amazing views regarding FOSS, but yeah, some of his other opinions are… interesting.
Without knowing how they got into his phone, this is a non-story that is just a retelling of older stories. For all we know they just took his dead finger and put it on the reader. Or maybe he used the same 4-digit PIN for his debit card or lock box or something else that they were able to recover. Maybe some detective just just randomly entered the shooter’s birthday, only to say “Hey sarge, you’re never gonna believe this… first try!”
There’s nothing useful that can be taken away from this story yet, until more details come out.
they just took his dead finger and put it on the reader.
My bet’s on this.
Using a dead persons finger is not possible though
Good chance it was just putting the dead dudes finger on the scanner lmao
Not how that works
Unless disabled by timeout, restart, or otherwise manually I’m curious to know why that would be?
Of course the dude had to know this was a one way trip, I’d have wiped everything but then again maybe they didn’t care at that point.
It is hit or miss. The fingerprint button is also looking for the electrical signals of a living person. Apparently, that doesn’t end immediately upon death.
