He was responding to triple88a, whose post "[cops] can now put cameras on your property" implied that offers could install surveillance devices on your property without your knowledge or permission. And Scott is correct that the ruling does not say that. It merely clarifies that if you voluntarily invite a police officer or informant into your home and offer to commit a crime with them, they are allowed to record this.

Key to the case is this quote from the article; "When Wahchumwah invited Agent Romero into his home, he forfeited his expectation of privacy as to those areas that were “knowingly expose[d] to” Agent Romero"

I highlighted the appropriate word.

Big difference between being invited in and unlawful search.

okay, the agent was undercover and investigating the illegal sale of eagle pelts/feathers.

the dude invited him in and tried to conduct a sale to the agent.

the agent was wearing a body camera of sorts and recording what transpired.

the dude was butthurt.

non-issue.

I still haven't looked at a map, but I think the chances of Gurnee, IL being a suburb of Chicago are pretty high.

Default Socialism...so consistent

Isn't it telling how hundred of millions died of starvation under Stalin and Mao, and yet nearly a century later socialism threatens to do the same to Venezuela.

It's the fun of being the quarterback. All the credit when things go well and all the blame when things go bad.

(Those numbers are so massaged that I wouldn't put too much stock in them either way. Just thought the spin was humorous)

We're a distant suburb (~30 miles away). I lived in Chicago for 6 years though so the Gurnee thing is the least of my problems.

Bernie Sanders calls himself a “democratic socialist,” apparently to put space between himself and Communists. Chavez and Maduro were and are democratic socialists. Both were elected to office. So it is fair to take Venezuela as a model of what Sanders wants for the United States.
Gold medal for the mental gymnastics required to believe this.

They call them "democratic socialists" to take the edge off, as if it doesn't just mean a bigger butt-load of government fraud, waste, abuse and fascism, but with the consent of the governed. Of course, Stalin also said that it's not the voters who have the power, but those who count the votes.

Priorities.

Instead of Helping Flint, Michigan Republicans Just Passed a Bill That Makes ---- Sex Illegal

Up to 8,000 children in Flint, Michigan have potentially been poisoned by their own water supply, and so the Michigan Senate has bravely come together to push through a bill that… bans An--al sex.

I thought ---- was one of the few words that are still censored on this site.

Good to know.

Edit: apparently the power of modship grants you dominion over the synonyms for butt-*******.

San Onofre nuke plant is closed, but Harry Reid closed Yucca Mountain to nuke waste after billions were spent. Now I've got nuclear waste above ground, less than 10 miles from my house and 100 yards from both the hwy 5 and the Pacific ocean. If anyone should feel butt raped, it should be me.

And Joe plays the censorship, "we are all equal, but some are more equal than others" game once again.

to be fair it was a bad recession, but the recovery was slower than any in recent history.







U3 is a joke, it's all about U6 anyway:




the defecit was because republicans kept threatening shut down, and they did at one point and basically just kept the budget the same year to year. Obama did not actually want to stop adding to it. plus once they reached the cap they just told the Fed to stop counting the money...

first thing he did once Boner left office was happily sign a deficit cap increase and magically the deficit starting increasing again.


and then the stock market was already on a great trend northward, it had HUGE increases before he came into office, and slowed since he's been in office. even after a bad recession, this is NOT typical. Obama slowed progress.







the trend is to quickly bounce back. he prevented the bounce, dragged it out, and blamed the right.
