Police State

Silk Road founder found guilty on seven of seven counts.

Cops hate Waze because you can't be secret police when everybody is posting your whereabouts.

"We’re told that radar traps and so on exist not to extract dollars from our wallets but for “safety.” If so, why do the cops squeal so loudly about Waze? After all, people slow down for the trap up ahead. Isn’t that the desired object?
Obviously, not."

I just said that. This has nothing to do with safety. It's all about revenue.

"One of the most delightful features of Waze is that – using real time updates collated via social media such as Twitter – it can hip you to a “safety” or “drunk driving” checkpoint up ahead in ample time to avoid it. Previously, one had no real choice but to submit to the rights-rape of a random/probable cause-free police investigation (interrogation and search). Roll up on one of these rights-rape zones and you had to go through it. Because making a U turn would result in even worse. You’ve just given the rights-rapers their “probable cause” to come screeching after you. Your disinclination to have your rights raped becoming the pretext for having your rights raped."

Rights rape. That's golden. What a fantastic term to express what's going on.

If you want to file a complaint against the TSA, they will kidnap you for 20 hours or so.
