Guys, collecting Amazon delivery info tells you nothing--other than you order from Amazon. They would have to warrant/subpoena Amazon to get more--and if they are at that stage, you are already in their sights. So the Amazon dithering is tin foil hat shit.dammitgriff wrote: ↑Mon Dec 17, 2018 9:43 amThink pre-crime data collection, tector.tector wrote:Whatever, man.
They (governments) are gathering evidence today in search of crime tomorrow. This is a full reversal of the principle of due process where the evidence follows the crime.
Not good for liberty, here or anywhere.
Now, certainly package tracking could be useful for other things. They government was clocking hydroponics dealers back in the day, to find growers. So in the brief interval while weed is still illegal here in this dumb state, that could happen.
Or, back in the day, people used to buy versious edgy books on full auto conversions, explosives, etc. Publishers like Loompanics, etc.,--it would have been interesting for the feds to track THEIR packages. Of course those books were often sold at gun shows, so anybody who didn't buy them, cash, in person, deserved their fate. Now all that info is just on the internet, where you might be tracked as well.
By the way Bob's Newsstand here in FTL still has such books (last I knew), so if you want a cash purchase on an old school book on such things, come on down!
But Amazon--give it up man.
