More and more the US government is becoming the enemy of “We, the People.” We “tolerate” the increasing outrage at our peril but the system inflicts itself upon us by means of the very resources with which we are forced to provide it. How sadly ironic it is that the ability to live a normal, non-institutionally-scrutinized-and-molested life should now be considered a “victory.” The US Control System now elevates FRAUDS and imprisons HEROES and many indications suggest that a far worse reality is to come.

Maybe there is hope for freedom in this land after all. Strength to Manning and all the others who are standing up for our rights and for transparency

Looks like the court said it’s perfectly ok for the government to have done what it did do… it just has to go faster next time.

Eighteen hours instead of 7 weeks.

Image all the data now, peruse and distribute it later, at their leisure.

This is a pretty weak ‘victory’ for US Citizens mauled by an increasingly authoritative and brutish governmental regime.

Yeah, we’ll take any victories we can get. But it is amazing that we are on our knees like this before our servants.

The judges decision is encouraging. Though, as so many are finding out, my own experiances included, our rights are upheld after the fact. The ability to levy a lawsuit certianly causes those with authority to rethink.

Unfortunatly, immediate search and seizure will continue, as they will weigh the cost of legal retaliation in concideration of return on investment. They would rather be safe than sorry, they have no qualms with paying for the information they want. Lawsuits will not stop searh and seizure.

Not only have they taken an image of the harddrive, standard operating procedure for computer forensics for searches, ultimatly intended for prosecution. But most probably have injected code to monitor activity and proliferate among contacts.

Any time anyone has access to your computer, phone, any type of computing device, they have the opportunity to install eavsdropping software. I highly doubt, concidering the level of abuses already observed in the Bradly Manning case, that “they” would step away from installing eavesdropping programs.

If the initial search and seisure is concidered illegal, is the injection of eavesdropping software illegal as well?

Apparently that issue has not been approched at all by legal represenation or the judge. The reason the devices were returned was probably due to the hope, that the devices would be used as returned.
