No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Not a kingpin but cops being owned by drug dealers is very real.
A buddy of mine, who is no longer a cop, was forced out because of that. My friend arrested a guy for beating up his wife. While looking through the guy’s text messages my friend found evidence that the guy was a drug dealer and was paying off another cop in the department to do all the shit you see in movies. Protect deals, take out competition, steal evidence to sell …the whole nine.
Why was my friend forced out? Well the chief of the detective unit (or whatever they called it) was inline to take on the #2 job in the state police department so he didn’t want any scandals. So he wanted the whole things covered up. My friend wouldn’t do it.
Do you know why he was going through a suspects texts? Seems like he was asking for trouble. I won't even go through texts I have access to.
He dumped the guy’s phone as part of investigating the domestic violence incident.
He was asking for trouble by doing his job?
Without a warrant, sure. Sounded like he was just going through someone's phone.
In my country you wouldn't even be able to get a warrant for this when it's about domestic violence.
Maybe only when there's actual threats that the victim has removed from their phone, which are likely to still exist on the senders phone. But even that is a stretch and a warrant for the data on social media services is far more likely.
