June 16, 201016 yr First raid is for the Gizmodo journalist who leaked the iPhone 4G http://news.yahoo.co...ws/ynews_ts1791 Police broke into the home of Gizmodo editor Jason Chen and confiscated four computers and two servers, the tech blog reports. Gizmodo broke the news last week about Apple's next-generation iPhone, after paying a source who found it in a California bar $5,000 for the device. The officers were from the Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team (REACT), a California law enforcement group based in Silicon Valley. In the search warrant, which Gizmodo posted, REACT officers checked a box indicating that they were looking for property "used as a means of committing a felony." Since the Gizmodo iPhone scoop broke last week, some have speculated that Gizmodo and its parent company, Gawker Media, might be liable for criminal prosecution for being in receipt of stolen goods under California law. Gawker has blasted back at the police with seized-property charges of its own, claiming that the police had no legal grounds for seizing a journalist's property. Gaby Darbyshire, Gawker's chief operating officer, wrote to the police that Chen "tells me that he showed you an email I had sent him earlier that day that told him that he should tell you that under both state and federal law, a search warrant may not be validly issued to confiscate the property of a journalist." In a ruling handed down last week, a New Jersey court determined that a blogger being sued for defamation did not have full standing as a journalist and therefore was not protected under the state's "shield law," which protects journalists from being compelled to take part in court proceedings pertaining to their work. California has a shield law, but there is no shield law that covers federal criminal cases. In her letter, Darbyshire further explained that Chen "tells me that you ignored him and, having been inside for a few hours already, you proceeded to remove the materials despite his protestations." Chen said that REACT did not damage his other property — apart, that is, from bashing in his door to get inside while he wasn't home. Second raid is for a hacker who released thousands of emails of iPad owners through a security breach http://www.dailytech...rticle18734.htm At first it was pretty blatant how "Apple" has such a corrupt image now compared to few years back when they were good compared to other companies (such as MS). But the one thing that really popped out is - do corporations have the US police force in their pockets? :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
June 16, 201016 yr But the one thing that really popped out is - do corporations have the US police force in their pockets? Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team (REACT) Sounds like they're doing their job? :huh:
June 16, 201016 yr But when you call them because a white guy is trying to lure a little girl in a van they take 30 minutes to arrive. :roll: MS and Apple are just super paranoid. "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."
June 17, 201016 yr I can understand this second situation because the security of the users was at risk. But for the Gizmodo journalist, that was just ridiculous. When I read that, I was thoroughly convinced that the American police force was now under control of corporations. [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.[/hide]Apparently a lot of people say it.

June 17, 201016 yr Goatse Security :unsure: I saw that too :blink: I see reason for the second raid, and a little for the first. If Apple had just released the IPhone 3 and was working on the iPhone 4 while the plans were leaked, Apple could've lost some income from the IPhone 3. As for the second, the guy hacked some email addresses from AT&T. I see why they would raid that guy. 65,280 to 99 fletching on 3-14-0940,405 to 99 woodcutting on 10-17-2009

June 22, 201016 yr This isn't related to apple, but is very related to the police being in the palms of corporations, and i really wanted to share this with others. http://motherjones.com/rights-stuff/2010/06/BP-louisiana-police-stop-activistIndeed, we are now socialists.

June 23, 201016 yr Goatse Security :unsure: I saw that too :blink: I'm confused. Where'd you find this? I ctrl F'd the articles and got zilch.
