I just uploaded the second edition of my notes on the IRS scandal(s), caused by unintended consequences from Congress, Treasury, and Citizens United, collectively sabotaging the IRS.  I hope to make this more clear in future editions.

Is there a community for Weather, or a community with a category for weather?  I will be posting some stuff about Oklahoma, and my thoughts on how to mitigate against history repeating.  If there is any such community, I welcome its membership sharing my mposts.

Until the laws get changed, youngsters should be careful to only date people who are the same age.  When you or your friend has a birthday, avoid any more dates until you are the same age again.  Otherwise, the police can arrest the older youngster for battery of a minor.  No matter that there is no sex, and the relationship is consensual.

Children caught Sexting, can be labeled for life as sex offenders.
Parents need to make sure their children are fully aware of  what is abuse of technology, and of other people, and the penalties if caught.

When someone leaks classified information, the leaker should know the nature of the info being secret.  But how about the person to whom the info is leaked?  How is the recipient to know it is secret?  Professional journalists should check info, before publishing, to verify the info.  Is that enough?

The same statute, which was used against Aaron Schwartz, was used to convict this guy, except in the commission of the crime, the defendant never touched a computer.  A person can be convicted of hacking, by helping someone else misuse computer data.

While this may appear to be old info, we are fortunate to see anything about our spy agencies that is later than WW I.
It is ominous that some government military and intelligence agencies are now to big, unwieldy, turning over most of their work to outside contractors which is a road to a host of expanded problems.

At the beginning of 2010, I was still in the hospital recovering from injuries I'd sustained while serving in Iraq. I was released early in the year, but still did not find employment until October, and even then, it was only part time. I can assure you, as I did the IRS, that I did not earn $157,000.00. Actually, I earned less than $10,000.00 in 2010.

I kindly read the federal code mentioned above to the lady I spoke with at the IRS, reminding her that VA disability money is 100% exempt. She placed me on hold for another age (I could see a man coming- bearing water- over the horizon) and then she came back on the line and told me, "We do not take veterans' disability money. We wait until the funds are deposited from the VA and then we take all of the funds from your bank account."

The teenager allegedly bought marijuana, was pursued by the police, into has grandmother house, where one police officer shot the boy dead in the bathroom.  The boy was unarmed, but the one who shot him, thought he was armed, because he had been told that by other police.  A grand jury was not told this last fact, so because of that, a judge threw out the grand jury decision that the killing was manslaughter.  Those other cops have not been charged with doing anything wrong.

No right is absolute.
 
We do not have the freedom of speech to yell FIRE in a crowded theater, if there is no fire.  When questioned by the police, we have to tell them who we are, we cannot withhold our identity.  But not everyone knows the limits of the rights.  Many know the basic rights, but not all the nuances.

Police response, to a water balloon fight, was excessive.
 
A student, not involved in the fight, was attacked by the police, and severely injured.  A parent, who witnessed the police assault, went to complain to the Principal about the police brutality, was arrested for trespassing in the school.
 
Seven students were arrested for participating in the water balloon fight.

According to the complaint filed by a minor’s guardian ad litem, a police officer, Jaymin Lenwood Murphy, came to a home to investigate allegations that an adult had sent inappropriate photos via cell phone to a minor child.  The officer said he needed to question the minor in private.  Once in private, the officer had the minor remove her clothing so he could take photos for his ‘investigative file.’   It gets worse.   The officer later returned on minor’s fourteenth birthday and raped her.  He threatened the whole family with arrest, if they told anyone.
 
He has been convicted of rape, but some charges dismissed, with multiple minors ages 11 to 14.  I don’t know how long in prison for this.  Police officers typically get a slap on the wrist for crimes that send other people away for a long time.

In some communities, people need aps to
(a)   send video to some remote site(s) so when the police seize and destroy the evidence on the cell phone, there is a copy some place else;
(b)  the some place else need to have legal protection so that a search warrant can get a copy of the video, but not police destruction of it.

Fracking is one controversy.  Federal regulations, for the companies engaged in that activity, is another controversy.  The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) just came out with a change in the rules, and there are links at this article, to get at those rules (171 pages), and what various environmental organizations have to say about them.
