Terrible training and horrible advice. Pennsylvania v Mimms requires you to step out of a vehicle upon LEO command. LEO does not need to provide any justification.

Also saying they are trained to shoot first and ask questions later is very hyperbolic. Police conduct over 30 million vehicle stops per year without incident.


I read the above comment as "don't get out of the car when you're pulled over unless you're ordered to," and it's important advice. There was a time when one would get out of the car after being pulled over, walk up and meet the cop and find out what was up. That time is very, very firmly over in the United States.

Read the room.


Pennsylvania v Mimms absolutely did determine LEO need justification. It can be done for officer safety or to perform an arrest, it's not just free license to ask anyone who is to be cited to get out of their car. This is even mentioned in the case; it was the "bulge" in the jacket that might be a gun that authorized the police to ask them to exit his vehicle.

If a policeman asks you to get out of your car without justification you can bet they're the sort that are more likely to not be disciplined with their use of force either. Police are always quick to cite this case but generally they're ignorant of what it says, they just mindlessly say "pennsylvania v Mimms" everytime they want to be a dick to someone by inconveniencing them or to incite an arrest of someone they think won't want to leave their car. Look up "Civil Rights Lawyer" online and he even uses PA v Mimms against one officer ordering someone out in a case because their order was unlawful.


It makes sense in the Indian context. We get out of the car here almost immediately, so it was important to emphasise the difference.


Just the first word.


They are tough though


I was gonna say but I was afraid to! :P


And yet experience shows that GP is correct. The vast majority of mailicious traffic originates from those countries IME.


Only stuff like scanners and other basic stuff (that comes from devices that have been left unattended and without updates). But the actual malicious traffic is not that easy to spot, as it won't be router directly.


I have two of these(1) Emporia Vue2 units in my home, one in each load center. I have them flashed with espHome and integrated into HomeAssistant.

I really love that they give whole home power usage, as well as up to 16 individual circuit usage details. And with espHome into HA, all local control with no cloud dependency.

There's RR Alfalfa as well, but your point still stands.


No.


Another happy vaultwarden self-hoster here. It requires almost not maintenance from me once I got everything setup.


It's the "probably" that they want to investigate and try to get to a "almost certainly"


I think he was suggesting that the technology exists (and I confirm) not necessarily that all of your tele-coworkers are utilizing that technology.
