    Exactly. Apparently this is a feature. And I find it to be absolutely fucking fantastic because fuck the police. Anything that makes their job harder is worth doing.

      That’s what a lot of people say until they’re in need of some police action then it’s all about “why aren’t the police doing their jobs!?”

      For the record I’m 100% against illegal searches. Court orders should be required to look at personal devices.

      That said, I volunteer with cops in Canada and find them to be very professional. Saw a female officer working with a non-white individual high on drugs at a hospital and she kept the person calm and relaxed by reading a book to them as you would a child. Totally worked.

        Dude, you need to see how nasty the justice system in the US really is. They’re not your protectors and they’re literally not required by law to be so. Supreme Court decided that decades ago.
