This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anon is not alone in this..

On one hand, I loathe pedophiles and the awful black market that they use to trade whatever

On other hand, I wonder how often the "law" just uses this to get rid of people who displease them, they just install the appropriate stash with a thumb drive while "scanning".

Decades in prison, asset forfeiture, who would stop them or even be able to prove it? The modern equivalent of planting drugs (which they are caught doing frequently already), and nobody wants to defend pedophiles.

Worst case scenario for them? The taxpayers pay for a lawsuit settlement and they might get paid leave for six months

This was literally the plot of Blake's seven except they also installed the memories into his brain and that of the children.

[–] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, but why bother? They can just turn off the body camera and shoot them in self defense. Same outcome and way less work.

Making a martyr vs discrediting everything someone has ever done, and turning their family/friends/everyone against them and their ideology.

Hmm...

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 day ago

cops kill a thousand people every year and every year the number goes up. How many of them even get written about?

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

You forgot the bonus of putting a pedo in the ground. The public does not exercise any skepticism when the accused is being accused of pedophilia.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

They do that already (gun them down), but they can't kill too many people! It's like they have a murder quota.

So, for the rest they plant evidence on, drugs and this.

Also, many of them are sadists and prefer the torture route (like 40 years in prison).

They already showed their cards so they'll not come back with a warrant. This is more about intimidation than anything else.

I've had the same thing happen to me. "Can we search your house? It will help you if you have nothing to hide". Fuck off cunts. They didn't try again.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 36 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Pretty much.

If OP had something incriminating, they would already have the paperwork they need to grab it.

Police knocking on your door is hoping you would give them information to arrest you. Proper swat team breaking down your door means they already had it.

ICE doesn't count. They're not cops.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Yeah, you can tell a cop is fishing because they're talking to you. If they thought they could get what they want without talking to you they'd just be arresting you or doing violence to you

[–] KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Adding onto this one:

I suspect they are searching your trash. They roll up to your house, tell you there's a bunch of "suspicious" shit tied to your address, IP, a cell ping in the area, whatever. The point is to scare the shit out of you in the hopes that you trash any "incriminating" property.

Then they search your trash (which does not require a warrant, let alone notice), find your shit, and then come back to arrest you.

The point here is fuck them. They didn't bother to create a warrant, so they dont get to complain when you decide to upgrade your PC, slag the old drives, then keep them on your coffee table as conversation starters. If they had a warrant, that would be different. They dont.

Don't let them scare you stupid. Continue on as normal. Maybe invest in a different ISP because some like to snitch.

“Can we search your house? It will only help you if you have nothing to hide”.

Help me how, to get arrested faster? lmao

"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear" remains at the top of my list of bullshit lines of "reasoning" I've ever heard in my entire life.

Irl they'd just refuse to leave, and maybe shoot your dog.

And here's where we introduce you to this magical term called full disk encryption!

[–] Alpha71@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah, refusing a warrant is definitely a separate crime from whatever they're looking for on the computer. If something like this happens, the only way to protect yourself from a warrant is to fully delete everything on your computer. They can't arrest you for not handing over something that doesn't exist. The cops know this though, which is why they probably wouldn't give you that kind of warning without having a warrant ready to go, which is because this story is fake.

And if you use BitLocker, do NOT backup your recovery key to the cloud!

https://gizmodo.com/microsoft-reportedly-turned-over-bitlocker-encryption-keys-to-the-fbi-2000713550

Print out out, give it to a friend, don't mention it via electronic means (email, text, Snapchat, YouTube, and so on...)

[–] msage@programming.dev 56 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And if you use BitLocker, don't!

What is a better windows alternative?

[–] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] quips@slrpnk.net 0 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I said for Windows not linux

[–] Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 hours ago

You did say "windows alternative", not "alternative for windows"

Fake: cops obeying the law and following due process? Really?

Gay: Anon clearly took “be gay, do crimes” seriously… too bad he didn’t take his opsec as seriously…

If the cops actually had anything real on him, they could get the warrant over the phone while stalling you at the door, or even storm your place and get it later.
And even if they don't get it, no cop can get in trouble for the raid if they "suspect" you might destroy evidence, and anything they find can still be used in court.

It completely invalidates your 4th amendment rights, but congress felt this was needed to protect you against "terrorists" 25 years ago.

Step 1: Back up important files
Step 2: boot from live Linux USB
Step 3: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nvmeX && dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/nvmeX Repeat as many times as you wish

[–] Chiqa@midwest.social 3 points 1 day ago

This, but encrypt the backed up data with full disk encryption.

If there's not a thermite microcharge hovering above your crime drive are you even really posting? Ctrl-Super-M (for melt) and that sucker's a puddle
