Video of Marshawn Lynch’s DUI arrest in Las Vegas on Tuesday was released on Thursday. The police bodycam footage shows Lynch as he sat in the driver’s seat of a Shelby GT500 missing its front driver’s side wheel. Five officers surrounded the car and spoke with Lynch as he remained seated with the driver’s side door open before they eventually pulled him out and arrested him. While he remained in the car, Lynch repeatedly asked officers what the problem was. “I’m not driving,” Lynch said…. Source link

Arlo, Apple, Wyze, and Anker, owner of Eufy, all confirmed to CNET that they won’t give authorities access to your smart home camera’s footage unless they’re shown a warrant or court order. If you’re wondering why they’re specifying that, it’s because we’ve now learned Google and Amazon are doing just the opposite: they allow police to get this data without a warrant if police claim there’s been an emergency. Earlier this month my colleague Sean Hollister wrote about how… Source link

A teen charged with setting a fire that killed five members of a Senegalese immigrant family in Denver, Colorado, has become the first person to challenge police use of Google search histories to find someone who might have committed a crime, according to his lawyers.   The pushback against this surveillance tool, known as a reverse keyword search, is being closely watched by privacy and abortion rights advocates, who are concerned that it could soon be used to investigate women who search… Source link

WINDSOR, Ontario (AP) — Police moved in to clear and arrest the remaining protesters near the busiest U.S.-Canadian border crossing on Sunday, ending a demonstration against COVID-19 restrictions that has hurt the economy of both nations even as they held back from a crackdown on a larger protest in the capital, Ottawa.

DENVER (KDVR) — With a family of five dead in an unsolved house fire, night-vision images of the masked suspects haunted the metro for months — until Google led police to the accused killers. At age 16, Kevin Bui and Gavin Seymour — along with another teen charged as a juvenile — were arrested on counts of first-degree murder and more in the August 2020 killings in Green Valley Ranch.

The physicist Richard Feynman once told a story about his father taking him out in the woods to observe nature. Feynman saw a bird and asked what it was called. His father said the name was irrelevant—it was only important to see how a bird behaved if you wanted to learn about it.

Gammino, a… Source link
