Dane, You May Be Right About Obama...

If this was real, which it probably isn't, I would be pretty fucking pissed if people could come up to me and search my shit for no reason.

Also border guards already have that power.

He's passing a law that enables him to search ANYONE'S hard drive for no reason, confiscating whatever they deem fit, and arresting ANYONE in possession of:

• Pirated Songs (even 1), Games, Software.
• Items which "compromise national security", which can mean ANYTHING.
• Things which would get you arrested normally, such as underage nudity.

I don't know if they would access computers remotely, I'm assuming they probably would.

Big Brother is about to start watching us all, I'm afraid. Makes for things like this (from a guy on Youtube, grammar altered to make it readable):
It's called a personal computer for a reason.

E: Damnit, that was Dane who had that Obama conspiracy site, not Snaf. Though I think Snaf had one, too.

E2: Thanks.

ahaha you take Russia Today seriously


p.s. the president can't 'pass' laws

p.p.s. i'm pretty sure the government has had power like this since the passage of USA PATRIOT vOv

Hasn't the FBI always been able to search anyones hard drive with legitimate incentive? And it sure is a good thing that you summarized the video. I cannot understand her accent worth a damn. :californian:

To all the people who are questioning sources:
I got it from a source who got it from a source who got it from a source.

It wasn't until AFTER I posted the thread that I managed to trace it back to Russia Today. I DID see something about it (or something similar) on CNN, but if I can't find the link and double-check it was, indeed, about what I thought it was, this is the only source.

ummmmm not MY music :cries:

I dont like buying FULL albums for 1 track, or those of us who can't buy over the internet. Plus when it comes to rap there are mixtapes which is basically a free underground additional track album. WTF about those?

Dark, I'd recommend locking this or editing your first post. A lot of people read the first post and don't read the rest of the thread.

So, if your saying it breaks the 4th amendment, that means police officers in US can not pad you down and search for weapons, without a search warrant, same goes for airports.

But, surely they do that now.../sarcasm

Of course they do that now, now please explain why they can do that and I dont see you bitching and moaning about it, but this internet case you are making a fuss it breaks your rights.

We are talking about a direct order from the President to search/seize someone's hard drive, if I read the first post correctly "...allows him...". This is not the same thing as a cop running up to you and patting you down for no reason. Also, aren't you from the UK Limited? Are you sure you know everything about the 4th amendment? There are several exceptions to it.

[SnaFuBAR]

because the president himself is going to search anyone, right?

close thread, gas

[teh lag]

Indeed. I think this can only go downhill from here.
