  • In Denmark possession of CSAM was made illegal and it lead to police being forced to prosecute people who accidentally uncovered CSAM and wanted to report it. I haven’t heard of specific cases, but if you want to report existence of CSAM on a CD that is in your hands which you found in the attic of a home you just moved into the police will tell you to destroy it immediately and forget about it because the law can’t distinguish between the owner of the CSAM and the current temporary person that possesses it and reports it.

    The fuuuuuck? Even in america, the stars would have to align for that to happen. The cop would have to dislike you, the prosecutor would have to dislike you (or be gunning for a higher political position and you’re an easy mark for being tough on child criminals), the jury would have to hate you (or be really dumb and not believe you took the material to the cops in the first place), AND you would have to be dumb enough to not realize how hated you are in your local area and still give them the rope to hang you with.



  • I think every service in the eastern half of my state uses the one I listed, and it’s probably about a 90/10 split on plain english / 10 codes. Most of the 10 code usage is in the extremely rural areas. And god, don’t get me started on 10 codes not being standardized. At least most of the major things seemed to be close. I haven’t traveled to the western side for work, so can’t speak to there. It is definitely interesting how things shake out in regards to agencies following recommendations.


  • “Have to be” is a pretty strong verbiage… but like the others have said, it’s about both parties already knowing the alphanumeric replacement of choice. That’s why any military boy will roll their eyes and probably have some silly comment if you start using random words like apple, boy, or dennis.

    Civilian side radio users, like fire, ems, or police, have a different one

    spoiler

    Adam, Boy, Charles, David, Edward, Frank, George, Henry, Ida, John, King, LIncoln, Mary, Nora, Ocean, Paul, Queen, Robert, Sam, Tom, Union, Victor, William, X-ray, Young, Zebra; if you were curious

    that they use, and you’ll always hear someone firing back on the radio about not calling in an airstrike when a former military member slips up and uses the military version.


  • If we considered '24 as a single point, then regression to the mean (thinking, as is pretty accurate across most states, that the split between d/r is often a few points off of 50/50) would suggest a large swing back towards ‘neutral’ from a +14 point advantage.

    So, even discounting the idiocy that is the current american administration and its effects on voters, yes, I would expect most places to vote more democrat.


  • Bodies cool fast enough that unless you died in a public place, you’ll probably be room temperature. As the meme reply suggests, your body is close to the slow cooker, almost assuredly on the counter of your home/apartment.

    So… a tepid, stinky, far-too-chewy bag of rotting fat, or some delicious potatoes (pronounced like so)? POtatOES!
