Cops Can Find the Location of Any Phone in the Country in Seconds, and This Senator Wants to Know Why (Video)

Last Thursday the New York Times published a blockbuster piece revealing how US law enforcement has access to a system that can geo-locate nearly any phone in the country without an officer necessarily having a court order.

The website Motherboard has published the letters that Senator Ron Wyden sent to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and telecommunications companies demanding answers on the controversial surveillance system.
“I am writing to insist that AT&T take proactive steps to prevent the unrestricted disclosure and potential abuse of private customer data, including real-time location information, by at least one other company to the government,” a May 8 letter sent from Wyden to the President and Chief Executive Officer of AT&T reads.
As reported by the New York Times, a former sheriff of Mississippi County, Mo., used an obscure service called Securus to surveil targets’ cell phones, including a judge and other law enforcement officials.
That system is typically used by marketers to obtain location data from mobile carriers.

There is no clear instruction on how to use a Q-tip rightfully, which ultimately leads to many people experiencing ear damage.

The Case that Changed the Idea of Q-tips A story on ear infections has really exposed the dangers of using Q-tips. Namely, a man went to the emergency room, following a bad seizure. The man explained how he experienced pain lasting for a couple of hours, followed by a discharge from his ear. At one point the man also lost some of his hearing a

by  N.Morgan Cannabidiol  is a phytocannabinoid discovered in 1940. It is one of some 113 identified cannabinoids in cannabis plants and accounts for up to 40% of the plant’s extract. In 2018, clinical research on cannabidiol included preliminary studies of anxiety, cognition, movement disorders, and pain.  Cannabidiol can be taken into the body in multiple ways, including by inhalation of cannabis smoke or vapor, as an aerosol spray into the cheek, and by  mouth . It may be supplied as  CBD oil  containing only CBD as the active ingredient (no included tetrahydrocannabinol[THC] or terpenes), a full-plant CBD-dominant hemp extract oil, capsules, dried cannabis, or as a prescription liquid solution.  CBD  does not have the same  psychoactivity  as THC and may change the effects of THC on the body if both are present. As of 2018, the mechanism of action for its  biological effects  has not been determined. Copper Home Page APeX Humic Fulvic Ultra Curcumin Relaxat
