My understanding is that it was this facility (in part) which was used to track & monitor ex-US Marine Toby Studabaker when he went "missing" around 12 years ago with 12 year old S…

Sounds like a fun way to practice deep scuba techniques - learning 'for real' in large water bodies is full of additional risks. However I'm a bit concerned at the 'caves' [not sho…

Technicalities such as whether actions are 'legal' are of little concern to the UK Security Service (their real name - for some reason, they don't like to use their initials public…

sender domain please ? I need to update my block list on my mailservers to protect my customers (and myself). There must be public links/references if this is their business model …

You need a better lawyer. If the situation is as you describe, sending unsolicited email and then charging you for receiving it (that's essentially what you're describing) when you…

It's not really silly at all. It is there for two reasons. (1) The law requries it to be stated in contracts [at least partially because of (2) below]. (2) Case law develops and ca…

The hotel made a strategic error so no need for court. Under the UK Consumer Credit Act, when a credit card charge of £100 (or more) is made, the credit card company becomes 'joint…

"I personally think ulbricht is guilty.." Which is presumably the intention of the fanfare around the smears - pollute the jury pool as much as possible to avoid the inconvenience …

Yes, it was called the Boston Tea Party.

North Americans are probably astonished at what is 'permitted' for UK police to become involved in - there are no constitutional protections and no effective oversight and there ne…

While management like to put these posters up, a friend who is a consultant in the NHS was quite clear when I asked him about it - he's a doctor, not a billing clerk and he doesn't…

Spoken like a true American ! After all, if stealing a king size snickers bar deserves 16 years ( http://www.commondreams.org/headlines/040700-01.htm ), stealing a bicycle needs so…

Static cameras have markings and 2 pictures are taken, normally 1/3 of a second apart. Activation is either radar or in-road inductive wiring. Neither are foolproof and pictures ar…

The video is required to zoom to show the driver of the vehicle as well for identification purposes. It prevents people claiming they were not the driver. (e.g. it looks like this …

That would only be the case where people accept tolls & toll booths on roads as an acceptable thing. Sure, they're common in Canada and the US but in some other countries they lead…

Often (but not always) in the UK, the laser is accompanied by video footage which shows where the beam has been trained and it is a combination of both the video and laser reading …

It is standard practice in classified material communities to have carefully controlled variants of documents and a log of where and when the subtle variations go in order to detec…

For those brave enough to visit the site, they have a 'reading' section. It seems this litigation has been going on since at least 2012 and Jason Van Dyke is still handling it with…

You would have thought they would have learned that since they apparently first sued in 2012 - 2 years is surely long enough to learn about the internet ? http://www.courthousenews…

Regardless of whether the case by the Swedish authorities is dropped, he still faces prosecution by the UK now for the breach of bail conditions - distinct offence in UK law with s…

Any /reputable/ sources for that ? Or are you just trying to bait people ? How is your comment relevant to the situation in the US ?

Because right now people have access to GPG and can send information reasonably securely to journalists. But don't worry, a 3 [or 4] letter agency near you is working real hard on …
