It died with "drug dogs." I am currently fighting the department of veterans affairs federal police because they bypass the 4th amendment with a drug dog. They found nothing because I don't do drugs, but the fake dog hits need to stop.

Good to know. I thought it would be a hopeless fight. I'm considering driving my car through boarder checkpoints multiple times to document that their "drug dogs" felt differently than the one at the Veterans Affairs that they use to harass veterans with cannabis because it's federal land.

Fucking finally. I was getting really concerned of all the undignified and disrespectful spying around here.

I guess they watched Red Sparrow and thought that was going too far.

ITS one of those periodic reminders that management sends out about workplace rules. Big deal.

How does one spy with respect exactly ?

I respect your 4th amendment right to privacy, and choose not to browse the folder on your desktop called "Not Porn"...

... but that porn in your downloads is not for your eyes only if you know what I mean

This is like telling a stealthy cat burglar to wear formal attire. Because nothing says 'covert operation' like a bow tie and a monocle.

[–] heartspoken@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

great idea. an email with that verbiage is a surefire way to straighten everyone up.

Oh fuck off
