Clarification - 215 was far broader than the bulk collection. 215 is a general business records provision that may be used in many circumstances. Bulk collection is simply an example of how it was misused, as revealed through Snowden’s leaks.

I read this piece and then went back and read the previous post. As a mother of a 2.5 yr old, I can sympathize that flying with a small child is not always sunshine and rainbows, particularly if they had a bad night the night before or are feverish already - the whole drill. I hear ya. And if you want to let your…

Truly, it was a different time. The Internet, a different gathering place. Yahoo groups were very popular and stuff like this was rampant. It was law enforcement’s dream - you could just cherry pick sickos, set up a honey pot, they would come calling.

Now I know how he got caught. I’m going to contact the attorney who would have dealt with this back then and see is [s/he] remembers anything.

Setting aside the blatant criminal violations laid out here, and setting aside why the plaintiffs are suing and not filing charges first... can you even imagine if any of these tactics being taught made their way into an OBGYN’s office?? You want to see a lawsuit? Sexually stimulate a patient coming in for a pregnancy…

The worry shouldn’t be them suing you, people should be arrested. I wouldn’t worry about the money if I were administrators and professors of your... whatever it is, junior college, technical school place. Since this is getting press, one would hope the US Attorney’s office will come knocking, have the state and Feds…

WHAT???????

Don’t love some of the missed attempts at humor in this piece, but one style suggestion - don’t buy jersey. A maxi dress can look amazing with the right material and cut, just like any piece of clothing. But if you’re buying cheap material (not necessarily cheap dollars-wide) you’re going to end up with ill-fitting…

Bravo.

Wiretap, much? I hope you live in a one-party consent state, otherwise that’s criminal.

It’s not public. It’s a private establishment. And to answer your question, because the courts have said so.

You think a lot of establishments have two-way mirrors in the women’s bathroom so the owner can peep on his customers?

Belated thank you!

Say I’ve spent the last hour on CDAN... could someone post? I know it’s macabre, but I’d be interested in reading, considering I’ve been sternly judging Kim this entire season. If true, which I don’t doubt for a second, I hope this poor woman finds peace.

Oh, I don’t think the dog is dead. I think the “scandal” was that the dog WAS to be re-homed and Kim refused to do it (“Monty loves [the dog]!!), and that’s part of the fight between Kim & Kyle.

Am I the only person who thinks Kim’s “responsibility” and “apology” tour is simply to mask that she is knee deep in booze and pills? This past season was legendary. She was cracked out. I feel for her, but she’s hostile, mean to her sister, sporadically violent, in denial... she’s in the throes of addiction. And she…

What’s your take on her going back to dark hair? Ditching the fake tan, taking out the extensions. It would certainly be better, no?

Her hair color is tragic. First thing I noticed in the towing video, and apparently it’s intentional! She’s been doing it for years! Her hair must be very dark and dyed to hell.

I get all this. They sound like scum. However, I just wonder why/how you all resist not berating the management companies you pay dearly, and why your first thought is, welp, I had best go get my car from Advanced, as opposed to, so help me God, if those bastards stole my car... filing police report. In every story…

Hypothetically yes, but - if towed unlawfully, presumably the waiving of fees would cover the days in hold. Otherwise, if you parked illegally and towed while out of town, again, why not secure your vehicle legally? Who just randomly parks a vehicle in a neighborhood/spot they’re unfamiliar with then heads out of…
