Creepier still is that is Kaufman's bed and he hasn't shown the rest of the pictures, the ones showing what the burglar did with Kaufman's toothbrush.

Here in Flori-duh it's illegal to record anyone without their knowledge. I wonder if that overriding law would pertain to a situation like this, where the person is being recorded on a device they stole. Thanks to the craftiness of our lawyers here, I'm sure it won't be too long before we find out.

Holy fuck, fire all those cops for being dumb lazy shits. They didn't even have to do any work. No investigation. All they have to do is stroll over there, cuff the douchebag and leave. Motherfucking done. And they wonder why we don't like cops.

(Update, October 2009.) Adeona depends on the availability of a separate service, OpenDHT. On July 1, OpenDHT was taken down. We have taken the opportunity to set up OpenDHT again on PlanetLab, under our administration. However, we are still testing our OpenDHT infrastructure. Therefore, at this time we are not encouraging new downloads of Adeona.

So in order to get the cops to do the job i pay them to do I have to spread it on twitter, create a website and get on national TV? That's totally how that should work.. I guess the police where to busy arresting pot smokers, online poker players, or flying Governors to baseball games (see NJ)

 You can expect cops to pretty much laze around when it comes to responding to home burglaries or vandalism.  I don't even think they care about rape that much, either.  Call it a hunch.

 

They do show concern if you're being killed, killing someone, or committing a traffic or drug infringement.  I’ve read before that traffic and drug citations are low-risk to deal with and can be pretty profitable for the department.  Hence, cops don’t really want to deal with real criminals, and they could give a rat’s swollen behind about your laptop, home, or car.

 

God bless this country.

While I will agree with a large portion of what you say I must point out one small correction.

Traffic stops and domestic calls (screaming matches between husbands and wives etc) are the highest danger situations for cops. Weird but true. A SWAT team member on a robbery call is less likely to be killed or injured than a cop pulling over a speeder or knocking on the door to an apartment containing a screaming couple.

They do seem to be more interested in pinching harmless pot smokers and loitering teenagers than anything else mind you. Property crime involving break-ins and theft are so casually dismissed due to the notion that people have insurance to take of them and the police feel they have beetter things to do with their time.

That laptop investigation would have caused a donut budget deficit. :)
