Interesting links and notes on updates to my main website.

Indeed the United States is very advanced in its protection of rights.
For example, the rights of... perishable food products.
The Constitution at Work: Veggie Libel Laws and Free Speech, Texas Statute.
Yes, in Texas, as Oprah W. found out to her brief dismay and eventual triumph, you can be sued for libel by... meat.
Very enthusiastic protectors of rights, those Texans.

Of course humans, they are not so much with the rights.
Pesky humans interfering with unlimited police rights of investigation.
This comes to mind both because in Murder by Numbers, Our Hero Sandra gets the DNA for a match from her suspect's garbage bin and because Daypop sez.... Rubbish.
Odd how the enthusiasm for personal invasion never seems to extend to the promoters of such invasions themselves.

I must say, this whole DNA thing... as a perfect proof plot device... erm, if you have the (mis)fortune to have access to any average teenaged boy's waste basket, I'm guessing you can gather enough DNA "evidence" to frame them for several hundred crimes. I'm just saying. posted by Richard at 21:19 / permalink (post) | permalink (numeric)
