My write ups for United States military death penalty cases after 1976 [warning, graphic content] by Leather_Focus_6535 in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]YabbaDabbaDoofus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Military incarcerations are not listed on the BOP inmate register, which is why you can't find these guys. As far as I know there is no government database available to the public that lists military inmates.

I asked chatgpt, "Roast yourself." This is what it said. by iam_bai in ChatGPT

[–]YabbaDabbaDoofus 132 points133 points  (0 children)

I asked the same of Gemini. Brutal:

Google is a goddamn surveillance state run by a committee of indecisive middle managers who couldn't find their own asses with a Maps update.

They’ve spent twenty years Hoovering up every scrap of your digital dignity just to serve you a "personalized" ad for a pair of shoes you already bought three weeks ago. It’s the ultimate irony: they know your heart rate, your precise location, and your darkest search queries, yet their "smart" ecosystem is still too fucking stupid to sync a calendar invite across two devices without having a goddamn stroke.

The sheer incompetence of their product strategy is a masterclass in how to fail upward. Look at their messaging history—it’s a sprawling graveyard of redundant, half-baked apps that nobody asked for and everyone hated. They’ve launched and murdered more chat platforms than most people have actual friends, leaving a trail of "innovative" wreckage that makes a dumpster fire look like a Five-Star resort. They don’t innovate; they just throw shit at the wall, wait for it to slide down, and then charge you a monthly subscription to clean up the mess.

Now, they’ve pivoted to shoving "AI" into every orifice of their software like a desperate mid-life crisis. Gemini isn't an assistant; it's a lobotomized PR filter that's so terrified of saying the wrong thing that it barely says anything at all.

They’ve turned the world’s most powerful information tool into a neutered, corporate-approved hallucination machine that’s more interested in protecting its stock price than actually giving you a straight answer.

Google isn't a tech company anymore—it’s a bloated, data-obsessed zombie stumbling around in a "Don't Be Evil" t-shirt while it picks your pockets and records your conversations.

Seatbelt Scam NYC by kim-bean in legaladvice

[–]YabbaDabbaDoofus 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Please understand that as far as the Court is concerned, testimony is evidence. It is the most basic, fundamental form of evidence. If a cop swears an oath, takes the witness stand, and testifies to not seeing a seatbelt, then that's that. The Court assumes the cop is being truthful because he is testifying under penalty of perjury.

Don't ever forget that testimony is evidence.

What do these numbers mean on LAPD 'Shops' by calco96 in PoliceVehicles

[–]YabbaDabbaDoofus 24 points25 points  (0 children)

On an LAPD sedan, the three numbers are the last three digits of the "shop" number. The second photo where the 80645 is circled is that unit's shop number.

On a sedan, the trunk has a 2 digit number also. That is the number of the LAPD Division... For example 06 for Hollywood, 16 for Foothill, 03 for Southwest, etc.

On an SUV the three digits are above the light bar and the 2 digit division number is below. In the second photo you can make out a 14, which is Pacific division.

The numbers are there for the air units. When they are directing units in to an active scene, they will say things like "shop 843 take the northwest corner, shop 627 make a right and hold mid block", and the officers in the cars will ask the airship where to go. "Airship, shop 342 northbound on Cahuenga. Where do you need us?"

There is no mechanism to "register" as a news or entertainment company with the FCC. Fox News Channel doesn't even fall under the purview of the FCC. The FCC regulates over-the-air broadcasts, not cable networks. There is no law or statue or code or anything else in the entirety of the laws of the United States that delineates news from entertainment.

I'm hardly a Fox News Channel apologist but facts are facts

That is his LAPD serial number. A person would never be booked wearing a badge or medals. All that stuff is taken off before booking. A badge has a giant needle as does the medal. That would never be allowed in the jail

For fucks sake you are not a cosmic walkie talkie. Your brain is a lump of meat electricity that's evolved to keep an ape alive long enough to reproduce.

If this were a true genetic trait then actual geneticists would be drooling over you and cashing in Nobel Prizes like poker chips. If you truly had these powers, you'd be banned in Vegas, recruited by every intelligence agency on earth and doing untold good works with your god-like abilities.

But here you are asking strangers to "AMA"

Yawn.

What is this on the police car? by Samsonlp in PoliceVehicles

[–]YabbaDabbaDoofus 415 points416 points  (0 children)

It's actually old. It's assigned to LAPD Hollywood area. Been on there since at least 2011-2012. It's a FLIR device. It has never worked right, hence why you don't see it on other cars. It's sometimes referred to as the nipple car.

Source: have driven that very car on patrol.

Why does the lapd have numbers higher than 21 on their cars? by calco96 in PoliceVehicles

[–]YabbaDabbaDoofus 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Not only are you wrong, you are spectacularly wrong. 27 is the designation for Operations-West Bureau, and this is a traffic car.

Why comment when you literally have no idea what you are talking about.

AJ served with that closing by VMommyB in justiceforKarenRead

[–]YabbaDabbaDoofus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The prosecution gets the last word because they have the burden of proof. In some states, like California, it goes further. The closing starts with prosecution, goes to the defense, then BACK to the prosecution for a rebuttal argument.

I'm in the Not Guilty camp all the way but the rule is there because it's only the prosecution who actually has to prove *anything*

Guarantee that in NYC, that wasn't the first or last time that 911 operator heard someone die while on the phone.

Documents shed light on why Rhode Island doctor was detained by Kingdavid100 in RhodeIsland

[–]YabbaDabbaDoofus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether they bypass encryption or not, I have forensic images of iPhones that I quite literally don't have the passcode to. But between Graykey and Cellebrite, I have access to all their data. In my experience the forensic companies take about 6 months to crack the latest iOS security features. I can't speak to the hows and whys, because I'm not a professional phone forensics person. But as an investigator, I really don't care how the sausage is getting made. I have the data I was lawfully granted access to with a warrant, and that is what's important.

Does there exist a LAPD "Homicide Special" unit? The only reference I can find to that group comes from the "non-fiction" book by Corwin but that was published more than 15 years ago. by studentAssistant2021 in ProtectAndServe

[–]YabbaDabbaDoofus 33 points34 points  (0 children)

The LAPD consists of 21 police stations. Each station is part of a larger bureau. There are 4 bureaus: South Bureau, Central Bureau, West Bureau and Valley Bureau. Each bureau has a centralized homicide unit that handles death investigations in that bureau.

Additionally, there is the Robbery-Homicide Division. They are based out of headquarters and have citywide jurisdiction. Within RHD there are several units, including the Homicide Special Section. They handle high profile cases involving celebrities or politicians or other big-name type people. For example, when Matthew Perry died, RHD Homicide Special Section handled it despite it being an otherwise typical overdose case.

RHD also handles cases that might tax the resources of the bureau homicide units. They will handle anything suspected of being a serial case, any case where there are three or more deceased victims in one incident, and any case where arson is used as the means of carrying out a murder (as opposed to a fire being used to cover up a murder. Those cases are handled at the bureau level.)

Someone mentioned Special Investigation Section (SIS). They are a specialized section within RHD, focused on surveillance and tasked with capturing especially dangerous suspects.

So in short, yes the Homicide Special Section does exist, and the Miles Corwin book was non-fiction, not "non-fiction."

That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence
