Check this out, the paper was also investigating the police chief for sexual misconduct allegations. I think drunk driving Karen was just a pretext here: https://thehandbasket.substack.com/p/a-conversation-with-the-newspaper

I was too hasty to judge the chief of police being insane just because the paper reported on his corruption. They were also investigating him for sexual misconduct allegations. That rep is going to be very very pissed off for dragging their name in the mud for this. https://thehandbasket.substack.com/p/a-conversation-with-the-newspaper

EM: So the backstory that we haven't told, because we don't wanna get in trouble, is that we've been investigating the police chief [Gideon Cody]. When he was named Chief just two months ago, we got an outpouring of calls from his former co-workers making a wide array of allegations against him saying that he was about to be demoted at his previous job and that he retired to avoid demotion and punishment over sexual misconduct charges and other things.

We had half a dozen or more different anonymous sources calling in about that. Well, we never ran that because we never could get any of them to go on the record, and we never could get his personnel file. But the allegations—including the identities of who made the allegations—were on one of the computers that got seized. I may be paranoid that this has anything to do with it, but when people come and seize your computer, you tend to be a little paranoid.

Fourth amendment violation in my opinion. This is obviously an unreasonable search and seizure.

After looking at the paper's website, I noticed that they accused the police of knowing that they were giving the drunk driving Karen a pass for diving without a license. This raid was in retaliation for reporting on that, since the idea that the entire paper was committing identity theft and they had to confiscate the staff's personal phones and all computers is ridiculous. Small town corruption, as it is. I'm also not sure that the federal law against what these corrupt cops did actually applies in Kansas (though using police action to crack down on someone independent of the law absolutely is illegal regardless).

People don't understand people in general. You need a high social intelligence to manage to even approach that, and the higher it is, the sooner you'll find out you don't really know what's going on in their murky minds. Everything else, like this post, is attribution bias.

It wasn't just her. What happened was the paper said the police knew she didn't have a license and gave her a pass. The cops decided to punish the paper for calling out their corruption. Everything else just flows from incompetence, from the attorney general's office to the judge.

I just don't understand the motivation to bootstrap such a ridiculous farce. This drunk driving Karen obviously doesn't have the power to move a magistrate, ag, and an entire police force for bullshit claims of identity theft. There has to be very very serious levels of incompetence here. Magistrate signing without looking at warrants. AG drafting illegal searches. Officers following nonsense orders. Both the sheriff and the head of the police department authorizing illegal seizures?

Edit: NOW I know the motivation. It's because the paper said the police KNEW she didn't have a license but gave her a pass. The paper made the police look like corrupt idiots, so the chief of police go the attorney general's office to write an warrant and the judge blindly signs whatever the AG sends their way. That police chief should go to jail.

Can't trust corpse eaters life necrophagist. They post naked women any chance they get.

It's an attempt to reduce the ability to visually navigate. Major or not, you lose the road you lose where you're going.

Why exactly? The tricks like "optional things to click" are explicitly targeted on less tech savvy people and defeat the point of privacy focused browsers.
