FCC Begins Total Take Over Of The Internet

Anti-surveillance movement calls ‘Reset the Net’ day of action

Let’s Stop Giving The FCC Free Rein To Regulate The Internet

The decision—handed down by a DC Federal Appellate Court—was seen as a loss for the FCC and supporters of net neutrality, but in fact, it may have been a huge win. While the court ruled that the FCC had no legal basis to implement the rules as they were written, it provided the agency with a clear roadmap to regulate broadband providers and pricing for all services connected to the internet, as well as broadband providers’ economic relationships with edge providers.

If this sounds like a lot of power, that’s because it is. If the rules are revised and approved by the court (and they are expected to be sometime this spring/summer) the FCC will have substantial regulatory authority over the internet. What’s more is that under these rules, when the FCC wishes to expand upon this authority in the future, they need only to prove that proposed regulations will “encourage the deployment…of advanced telecommunications capability.” A vague and flimsy burden to say the least.

 

Bunkerville residents sound off about BLM, police, media

Residents and council members praised militia members gathered there in support of embattled rancher Cliven Bundy, but had nothing but vitriol for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie and the local and national media.

“The day the militia [came] was the day I felt safe again in Nevada,” one meeting attendee said.

FK – Have you formed your militia yet? You don’t have to be Rambo, just give a damn.

The Pennsylvania state Supreme Court has ruled police officers no longer need a warrant to search a citizen’s vehicle.

Under prior law, an officer who smells marijuana inside a car, for example, could only search the car with the driver’s consent — or if illegal substances were in plain view.

Now, based on the opinion, it only takes reasonable probable cause for an officer to go ahead with a search without a warrant.

FK – What’s so unbelievable about a black-robed shyster serving its masters?

FK – Kids in the car are possibly a far greater distraction so all kids in vehicles should be sedated. Brain dead women who think the whole world should slow down because they have ‘babies’ in the car, who they think everyone’s universe should now revolve around, should be sedated and kept from driving at all.

What is the Legal Risk of Buying a Gun at a Turn In (aka a buy back)?

For the purposes of legal action that might be taken against a purchaser, it is the number of guns that are reported stolen and available to be found on a database searched by police that is important.   Many millions of guns were manufactured before the government started to mandate that guns have serial numbers.   There is no way to determine if those firearms were stolen, unless there is some sort of distinctive marking that could connect the firearm to a previous owner.   That sort of marking could be input into the FBI data base nearly as easily as a serial number.

The FBI has maintained the database of stolen guns for the United States since 1967, so we have about 46 years of data in the system.   There are a few state data bases, such as Florida’s, but it is a reasonable assumption that most of the firearms in state databases would also be reported to the FBI for inclusion in the National Crime Information Center  (NCIC) system.

FK – We need to repeal GCA ’68 and the NFA. Stolen weapons could be dealt with via a public but privately owned internet database with serial numbers only being recorded by the companies that make the weapons and those who purchase them, as it should be.

D.C. Starts Issuing Driver’s Licenses To Undocumented Immigrants

Today the District starts issuing driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants who have lived in the city for at least six months, joining only 10 states and Puerto Rico that currently do so.

Until today, undocumented immigrants in D.C. who wanted to drive a car had to do so illegally, since they were not eligible for a driver’s license. But last year the D.C. Council passed and Mayor Vincent Gray signed a bill creating a new license and ID card for residents in the country illegally, following the lead of states like Maryland and California.

The limited-purpose licenses are being made available today, and city officials estimate that between 16,000 and 19,000 residents could get one of the new licenses. According to immigrant advocates, the new credentials will offer numerous benefits to their holder.

FK – One wonders how they ‘document’ they’ve been there for 6 months… They’ll be voting next, by absentee ballot, from Mexico.
