I have no need for a proxy. I'm not hiding.

All anyone had to do was ask. There wasn't any need for threats or other strongarm tactics to get my ISP or other contact info.

Best,

Cameron

Why the big deal anyway?

For crying out loud, talk about getting all worked up over nothing, the guy was a witness, not a terrorist.

Anyway, the way the law works is simple, the law is what the judge of that moment says it is, period.

Precedent means nothing, written words mean nothing, the judge issuing the orders is all powerful.

And the police, well, we all know that story.

I recall right when this happened too, not far from where i live, just down on Morrison.

So it's atleast KNOWN now that law-enforcement do scan blogs, mbs, etc. & that there's alot of spying/info.-gathering/data-mining going on. That said, noone should EVER be fearful of what they say on-line. Just try not to incriminate yourself.

no matter what the order they served said, the DA has no authority to prevent anyone from seeking legal counsel or discussing the matter with other people. in fact, the DA has no authority whatsoever; they can order you to do anything they want, but unless you are under contract with someone to the contrary, or ordered by a judge to whom you've given jurisdiction, you are under no obligation to follow those orders. period.

the moral of this story is: don't give these bullies jurisdiction over you. no one is required to enter into contract with anyone else, and we are fully within our rights to ask questions of anyone seeking to contract with us. so ask those questions, and refuse offers of contract unless you are in control of the terms and you see them as favorable to you. contract law is all a judge can enforce.
