Pro Tip: Don't ever text something that can incriminate you.

doesnt work that way in the uk.

and lol mikkel, you obviously read my post, you dumb cunt. i don't text cause i can talk face-to-face. texting is for arranging booty-calls, that about it.

How does it work over there?
Can the police monitor your calls or review your text logs/history without a warrant?
Is it illegal for companies to keep your texts on file?

the courts can request that a company hold back a client's records/communications, but it must be warranted beforehand

we don't have a patriot act robbing us of our liberty here

that said, telecomms companies do employ shady 'grey area' officials and filters to 'monitor' for terrorism keywords. apparently, anyway.

i was arrested, part of the charge related to electronic communications that were incriminating, and the police kept all of my personal possessions (including an iphone with tons of texts to and from drug dealers) in their custody overnight whilst i was held. they didn't check the phone, no further charges were made other than the original incident. our freedom is kinda more... 'free' here.

I wasn't referring to the Patriot Act, more towards crimes or cheating on spouses. Some people don't know that many (if not all) phone companies keep the text chats recorded for however long they want. Just like the internet, once you text something it may be out there forever. Don't text stupid shit. They can't keep recordings of your phone conversation without a warrant. IMO they shouldn't be able to keep text logs either.

In the UK the Police and security services can and do read or listen to whatever they like without warrants - for 'intelligence gathering' purposes.

The only time they need a warrant is if they want to use the information in a prosecution.

Yep. Its airshow and baseball season, and it should come in handy for that, along with portraits here and there, who knows, I might start chasing birds too. Once I get the lens, my epic plastic lens lineup will be complete

oh, not to derail - my LightRoom 3 came in. it upgraded LR2 "in place", meaning it upgraded my catalog and left my presets. love it . . .

Sounds good

I've allways been curious about it... Good alternative if you can't drag a cable..

But sounds risky, I mean, couldn't an overload fry your adapters?

It's hit and miss. If you have noisy power or poor installations, you may be out of luck. If you buy low quality transceivers, they may communicate on the active phase and will be limited to talking to other plugs on the same phase. The good ones seem to work relatively well in most cases, transmitting across phases via common neutral.

In short; make sure you hang on to your receipt.
