The FBI says it “gained access” to the Trump rally shooter’s phone just two days later.

    Our local sheriff is using some spy level shit in our county that he refuses to explain.

    He keeps “happening” upon crimes just “on accident.” yesterday it was “stopped to take a pee in public park and caught a baddie” and two days before that it was “just happen to follow and pull over a guy with lots of pounds of pot hidden in the car.”

    The US police are spying on Americans phones, internet, GPS, and everything with no judicial recourse because it is corporations spying and then “giving the info” to the police for money.

    The US law enforcement has gone full STAZI but using capitalism as additional cover.

    The US is dead.

        Unless disabled by timeout, restart, or otherwise manually I’m curious to know why that would be?

        Of course the dude had to know this was a one way trip, I’d have wiped everything but then again maybe they didn’t care at that point.

          It is hit or miss. The fingerprint button is also looking for the electrical signals of a living person. Apparently, that doesn’t end immediately upon death.

    Without knowing how they got into his phone, this is a non-story that is just a retelling of older stories. For all we know they just took his dead finger and put it on the reader. Or maybe he used the same 4-digit PIN for his debit card or lock box or something else that they were able to recover. Maybe some detective just just randomly entered the shooter’s birthday, only to say “Hey sarge, you’re never gonna believe this… first try!”

    There’s nothing useful that can be taken away from this story yet, until more details come out.
