If you really want to hurt your parents, and you don't have the nerve to be a homosexual, the least you can do is go into the arts. But do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites, standing for absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.

From what I gather from this and the other coverage of this story, the guy and all his roommates were arrested and their belongings taken because he relayed some information from a police scanner to twitter.

I wonder if police cars have any central tracking system. Someone could hook it up to google earth or maps or something.

Yes. Because even though you can legitimately buy a police scanner and listen to it all the time publicly, you cannot post any of that information on the internet, because that makes you a terrorist.

Ehm,


1 - It is a legal requirement that a suspect has a trial before being called a criminal.
2 - One can be convicted for terrorism without a trial.
ergo
3 - Terrorism isn't a crime.

so stop acting surprised.

"Convicted" and "accused" mean two different things. You can be "accused" of anything, including terrorism, but you can't be "convicted" unless you have a trial. Unless our judicial system decided to go inquisition when I wasn't looking.

Either we're not getting the whole story (likely) or these guys went totally overboard (also likely) and should face sanctions.

A few years ago I came across an internet radio stream that broadcast the local police scanner live. I haven't been able to find it back again, though.

Are you thinking Iran = the US here?  Americans may have Patriot Acts and illegal wiretapping, extraordinary rendition and Gitmo, but I don't know, we're not Iran.

A major difference between the US and Iran is that Iran doesn't pretend not to be Iran.

Are you saying that my local news doesn't give an accurate reporting of what life in Iran is like?
