so cops are downloading peoples text messages and pictures via some sort of data backup download...

any idea on how to block these types of attacks? Ive been googling for a minute and can't find too much. my lack of effort also accounts for the question.

Have you never texted a drug dealer? If so, be concerned. As far as I've heard, if you hit "send" youre fucked so just make calls RE illegal activities.

holy lol, how did I not like you before myxo? I love you now.

Puffman

surely they would need a warrant to access the texts from the service provider?

SmokeaJoint

I wondered about that. Hearsay is, they have keywords, and if the text contains any of the listed keywords it gets recorded in a database. IDK, haven't heard anyone credible confirm it.

Thank you for a most excellent volley....and now I will spike.

"Through the Freedom of Information Act, EPIC has obtained FBI reports to Congress stating that the agency did not use its DCS 1000 Internet monitoring system -- formerly known as Carnivore -- during fiscal years 2002 (pdf) and 2003 (pdf). According to the reports, the FBI used commercially available software to conduct court-ordered surveillance twelve times during the two-year period. The reports suggest that the FBI's need for Carnivore-like Internet surveillance tools is decreasing, likely because ISPs are providing Internet traffic information directly to the government."

By now you must understand that if they want you they will come and get you.

Tin foil hat, tin foil schmat.

^ Meh.


Yeah I was just kidding man. Just one of those things unless you're high up on the food chain...

Really though I've honestly no idea, especially via data backup.

You've always loved me spanky, you ain't gotta lie to kick it.

The 4th and 5th amendments to our Constitution only apply to rich people. In other words, every text (and post on the comp) is being read by a cop and will be used against you in a court of law.

SublimeStylez

Nope just probable cause. Don't ever come to my city. It's marshal law here. fo real.

Polluting this thread withomfg ur dumb texting is useless information.

The counter is too easy, much like keywords on a Craigslist ad, you add whatever the words are on every text you and everyone you ever meets phone, you can do it via template if you like. Overwhelm the system to the point of its demise, if 25% of every text sent has those keywords, the filter hits.

If an old guy on a pot forum can come up with a low tech plan to counter high tech monitoring, some defense lawyer somewhere has got to have a clue as well.

You can throw it against the wall all you want, whether or not it sticks is the important part.
