Yeah, sure. But you can see how that could lead to very open-ended logic of "we're just gonna have to check now."
I live in Finland. I had a videomeeting with a nurse a few weeks ago. I got rather upset and have a loud voice. Anyway, about 20-30 min after the videomeeting, cops arrive at my door. I don't understand why. Apparently a neighbour had called and "heard yelling". To specify, by the time the police arrived, there had been no yelling for almost half an hour. Still. They demanded entry. I politely refused, asking what for. They said "we can't know that you haven't murdered someone in there."
If that's all the authorities need to enter your private apartment, then you see how no-one has privacy, actually, right?
I mean, if the burden of proof is put on me and they demand I prove a negative, then that's quite the impossible standard to reach.
So having a loud voice and living in an apartment building is enough in my country for your privacy to go bye bye.
Wouldn't have mattered as much, but I grew me own weed. One autoflower nothing large, just my own smokes. Mild strain, CBD heavy. But still illegal in Finland.
Last time this happened, it took like 2 months for me to get the warrant they supposedly used and it was dated 2 months after the search.
So you know, while I agree with the public safety angle, there has to be a very clear limit set on when and how the cops are allowed to do what. Granted the US does that a lot more than we do. As in, things may not be objectively going as great in the US, but at least there's two sides in the fight. In Finland no-one wants to recognise our university-educated police can have anything wrong with them, especially on a systemic level.
I mean, I also agree our cops are pretty decent, but that doesn't mean I don't have some severe criticism of them. Fuck the police and ACAB, but you'll notice I did smudge the visible face of the officer here. And it's because I promised them at the time. I know promises cops make to you don't matter, but the ones I do, do. And this was the first "house-call" for this young lady. And while the police who originally entered (older constable) did make it very clear I'm allowed to video, he just asked if I could avoid faces. And I don't see a point as to why not, since none of them did anything to personally offend me, and the older constable even called his superior after I explained him what happened last time they took me to jail. So he managed to convince his superior there was no need to jail me for it. Last time the guards didn't give me my meds ended up being awake for 72 hours in isolation where they watched me go nuts and eat myself and draw on my own blood on the walls. 3 days lights on constantly I didn't eat or sleep but they thought my "take as necessary" antipsychotics and relaxants weren't necessary. I also didn't even have a mattress. And there's not a single Finn who believes me despite me having photos of the cell. The cops conveniently lost the videos when I asked for them after they tried accusing me of vandalising the cell with my blood. Here's the cell. (But the mattress and blanket weren't there when I was. Not for 90% of the time anyway.)
So yeah when that happened some years ago, I also tried filming the cops coming in. The cop took my phone away ans said "you can't film the police when they work". Which is complete BS ofc . So luckily I had the few s clip of him saying that while taking my phone away. Me complaining about that went to the supreme Court of Finland who did incidentally agree with me (ofc.) The cops even tried the argument of "no but it was a private apartment so I'm not allowed to film them due to their privacy.... when they're coming into my private apartment to invade my privacy.
You prolly won't read the article in Finnish so here's the screencap translated.
So yeah, I agree it would be wild if an active wrestling match with two guys fighting for a gun with bad intentions in mind wouldn't be enough of a reason for the cops to go in, I URGE you to consider the other side of the coin as well.
I think that was still very much a thing at least a decade after Britney became legal.
Gif reminder that Daenerys is 13 at the start of GoT. But ofc the actress was 24 in s1 so not really anything controversial.
I can't say for sure that actresses ages were tracked as much but I remember like sites showing countdowns to when Emma Watson became of legal age. I'm the same age roughly so it wasn't weird for me but it was weird that people did it.
I vaguely seem to recall something like that, which ultimately got attributed to some fuck-up, but which I think was basically just Vlad paying Tusk off.
I started reading in other languages for her. To which I credit a lot of my English skills. I couldn't wait for fifth one to be translated so just started reading books in English.
The Twelfth Doctor, Bill and an angry Nardole travel in the TARDIS to follow a distress call to a deep-space mining station. When the TARDIS is jettisoned by the station's computers, the trio are forced to wear "smartsuits", robotic spacesuits capable of independent operation tied to the station. The suits are also the only source of oxygen, as the mining company does not provide an oxygen atmosphere inside the station, and every activity is measured in breaths
Well at least our Finnish national dish is still traditional. Take cubed beef and pork. Put them in water. Add salt. Put on heat for a sufficient amount of time.
That's it.
Fancy modern versions have peppers and whatnot but traditionally it's just salt.
Yeah I've had mine for roughly the same time. It's kinda annyoing being anywhere without smart lighting. You have to shut off lights before going to bed, instead of shutting them off after you've climbed under the covers.
And having to put on the lights just to go have a piss in the middle of the night? That would wake me up too much. So I just put on a few red low lights to roughly see where things are without waking myself up.
Then again anyone super into privacy wouldn't probably love these, as as far as I know, having several WiFi using bulbs on the ceiling also means that anyone with access to the data could actually function as movement sensors. So the metadata Hue has about me (or at least could access if they wanted to) would tell them when I'm in bed or in the kitchen or having guests or whatnot. Apparently it's based on the attenuation of the signal strength and based on those numbers you can "see" the object moving from the signal strength changes.
Oh apparently to use it myself I'd need a Hue Pro Bridge, but they came up with the system on the old one. Now the pro version has an analyser in it so makes it work better.
Yeah, sure. But you can see how that could lead to very open-ended logic of "we're just gonna have to check now."
