Amazon-owned Ring will stop allowing police departments to request doorbell camera footage from users, marking an end to a feature that has drawn criticism from privacy advocates.

In a blog post on Wednesday, Ring said it will sunset the “Request for Assistance” tool, which allows police departments and other public safety agencies to request and receive video captured by the doorbell cameras through Ring’s Neighbors app.

The company did not provide a reason for the change, which will be effective starting this week.

look I think death note is a really poignant satire of the japanese justice system.

(im not japanese but i am american so. im not saying the japanese justice system is worse than my country's or anything)

japan has one of the lowest homicide rates in the world, and one of the reasons for that is because homicides aren't fucking reported as homicides. they're reported as heart attacks or suicides, because the japanese police just want to say that they have a low murder rate and a high solve rate for murder cases: on a personal level they want good numbers so they can get promoted, but on a societal level they want the police to remain the good guys in the eyes of the public. and that's light. "heart attacks" and "suicides" and "accidents" all actually murders, covered up to uphold the societal ideal of the law as the ultimate good.

in japan, 99% of people charged with crimes are convicted. innocent people falsely accused are put under enormous pressure to confess, at which point they often crack under the pressure and accept conviction. and that's L. he put a lot into the theory that light was the culprit even when he had nothing to go on and indeed evidence to the contrary, because he had no other suspects. and remember when he fucking had misa tortured ????? bound standing up with her eyes covered even when it couldn't have been clearer that they weren't going to get a confession out of her and it had been weeks? and he kept it up pretty much solely because he was too proud to admit that he had been wrong, or at least that this wasn't working.

in that way, light is the corrupt police force, and L is the corrupt judicial system. together they make the system of justice, but do either of them actually believe in that? they say they do, but light's "justice" is deference to the law, or rather, the status quo that the law represents; L's "justice" is having someone in prison, someone to blame, and the same perpetuation of the status quo. ideally they'd be able to keep each other in check - the police to arrest a corrupt judge, the court to convict a corrupt officer - but they're really exactly the same. light killed lind l. tailor, but L is the one who sent him to die.

it isn't 1:1 allegorical but it doesn't have to be. it's a thought-provoking and scathing criticism of what the japanese government calls justice. I think it's solid social commentary

Police are worse than fucking useless.

18 little kids and 3 adults are DEAD because of these worthless fucks. DIRECTLY BECAUSE of their refusal to act.

THEY LITERALLY MADE THIS SITUATION WORSE AND THEN DARE TO DEMAND RECOGNITION FOR THEIR "BRAVERY."

This is my wife’s childhood friend, Talia Petoia.

On the night of March 10, 2023, Talia was shot in the chest by her abusive boyfriend, Tyler Laughter, who claims the incident happened while he was cleaning his gun. Talia was rushed to the hospital, but the doctors couldn’t save her; she died that night.

One week later, before the autopsy was even completed, Tyler was charged - with involuntary manslaughter. He was put in jail on a $20k bond, only 10% of which needed to be paid to bail him out. He was free within hours, having not spent a single night in jail.

There’s been very little media about this case, despite the best efforts of Talia’s friends and family. In fact, when Talia’s mother contacted a reporter at a local news station several days after the shooting to ask why there had been no coverage yet, she was informed that the station had reached out to the sheriff’s office about Talia’s death only to be told that it was an accident and that there was “nothing to report.”

We’ve been calling the DA to encourage him to escalate this case to the SBI, given the seeming lack of care given to it by local authorities and the fact that the chief deputy is related to the shooter, but so far, no progress has been made.

There’s a lot of other fucked up shit going on with this case - more than I can type in one post - but suffice to say that Tyler Laughter is a dangerous man. Talia was not the first woman he abused - more have come forward in the last few weeks - and I’m afraid that that she won’t be that last.

Ways to help, for those who are interested:

Talia’s family started a fundraiser to higher private investigators and cover legal fees. Any leftover after meeting those goals will go to a scholarship in her name.

Contact the DA. Voicemails left after hours and emails are good too, if you don’t want to actually talk.

Even just reblogging this post and/or interacting with the other social media pages and hashtags we’ve created for this helps. We’re still asking the authorities to do the right thing and give this case the attention it deserves, but if they won’t do what we ask, we want to embarrass them into acting. Make this case such a big deal and so widely known that they are shamed into doing their jobs.

Linktree with the fundraiser, contact info/scripts for the DA, and other social media HERE.

Re-watching Due South is really interesting now because we as a society have so much more heightened awareness of police corruption than we did in the 1990s, but it's always been there, and I see now that this show addressed police corruption so often and in so many ways. The very first episode was about police corruption (as was the last), and even in the goofiest eps, the writers never forgot that. The best part is that no one is exempt. Fraser follows his own moral code, which, while strict, sometimes allows him to disregard the law entirely. And then there was the Victoria Episode. As for the Rays, they casually called upon police privileges all the time, without ever considering themselves bad cops, which they weren't. They were good cops, but the bar really is just that low.

🚨ALERT🚨

I need help gathering information on a recent crime against my trans friend and his trans fiancé in Louisville, KY.

A friend of mine just had more or less everything in his and his partner's house stolen by his shitty landlord, likely in retaliation for pushing back on said landlord refusing to fix the house they were renting from him, specifically black mold they found in the walls and window latches that don't work.

The landlord obtained a false paper saying they had abandoned the property, and last week (5/18) my friend and his partner came home from work to find landlord Barrett Goff of Allodium Real Estate using a moving company to haul away everything in the house, supervised by officers from the sheriff's department. The officers physically restrained them from entering the property and recovering their things. Their cats were deliberately flushed out of the house, resulting in one being killed in the road. Their mail was stolen and destroyed.

The police, the sheriff's office, the landlord, and the moving company have resisted giving them the information needed to trace and recover what was stolen, falsely claiming that they couldn't do so because my friends were filing charges and "it would destroy their case." (It won't.) Local Goodwills and pawn shops have been apprised of the situation and asked to watch for key items, but we're basically stabbing in the dark. We need details if they're to get even half what was taken back.

The value of their combined belongings well exceeds the $6,000 threshold required for a charge of grand theft, and so they are taking him to court. But this doesn't bring back their valuables, or their cat.

After asking around, they've found that this landlord has a pattern of doing this to low income tenants, and the ease with which this fake statement was obtained and the speed and manner in which it was acted on suggest a pattern within the sheriff's department as well.

The Louisville, KY law enforcement apparatus has a long and storied history of crime and corruption, from the police murder of Breonna Taylor and beyond. It is disappointing but not surprising to find yet another instance of corruption and exploitation of minorities and those least equipped to fight back. This kind of thing can only be fought by bringing as much heat and attention as possible to the offenses. I'm asking for y'all's help in that.

I'm asking anyone who has information on Goff, his company, his business habits and history, and/or his relationship with sheriffs and local PD to please contact me and/or local and national press. Especially if this has happened to you or someone you know.

If you would like to donate to my friends for legal and living expenses during their fight, you can do so at:

Stole his adult whole life 😢

After serving 44 years for a rape and burglary he did not commit, 68-year-old Ronnie Long reached a settlement with the state of North Carolina for $25 million - the second largest wrongful conviction settlement in U.S. history. Long was initially given only an insulting $750K in compensation. But after filing a civil lawsuit, he was awarded an additional $25 million along with a formal apology.   In 1976, Long was only 21 years old when an all-white jury that was “hand-picked by local law enforcement” convicted him of raping a “prominent” 54-year-old White woman in Concord, NC. He was given two life sentences. An appeals court finally overturned his conviction in 2020, citing jury tampering by the police chief and false testimonies from detectives. Prosecutors also deliberately suppressed evidence that could have proven his innocence, including: a rape kit that collected 43 different fingerprints and a suspect’s hair that did not match Long’s. Semen samples also “disappeared” from evidence.   After his release, Long was eager to spend time with his family, including wife Ashleigh, who he married from prison in 2014. Sadly, both of Long’s parents died before seeing him freed and exonerated from this American nightmare. His mother passed just 30 days before his release. He told CBS News, “I know my mother and father died with a broken heart...I’m gonna tell them now, when I visit the gravesite, ‘Your son is clear.’”

Cop Stops Family From Going To Emergency Room Update

I can't wrap my head around people like this cop. Do they try to change the story to make themselves look better, or does some part of their brain actually perceive the entire situation in a way that favors themselves? Like near the end, when he says they were cussing him out and being hostile at beginning, even though that's not how it went down.

I guess oaths to the constitution mean nothing now.
