#felony — Public Fediverse posts

How many felonies for hijaking the WiFi for an airplane and gather passenger data without consent? A lot:

1. Computer Fraud
2. Wire Fraud
3. Flight Crew/Attendants Interference
4. Aircraft system interference
5. Identity Theft

Yep, they're going to jail straight from landing.

Y'all remember back in the days ago when an #OpenAI model "escaped" and it was all the news for a minute?

#Anthropic said "hold my beer" and admitted that its Red team had left access to the internet open, and allowed the models to commit felonies unsupervised.

The model performed actions that if you or I did it, we'd be getting a visit from men with dark glasses...but with AI companies it's just "Whoopsies! Sorry about the infiltration, stealing your credentials, uploading malware and stuff. Our bad. Oopserdoodles! Hey, have you tried our chatbot, tho?"

There must be a reckoning. Wealth should not shield one from consequence. If corporations are people, then the executives and board can stand trial when they break the law.

The federal #statute underlying the charge makes it a #felony to destroy #evidence or transfer assets to keep the government from seizing them, or to tip someone off about an upcoming search or wiretap. It carries a penalty of up to 5 years in federal prison, a fine, or both.

The act applies before, during or after a search. If the target of an investigation knows that a search or seizure is imminent, & that person acts to thwart it, they would fall under the statute, experts said.

#Activist charged with #felony after giving #border agent "duress code" that wiped his phone

In early 2025, Atlanta resident Samuel Tunick was on his way home following a trip abroad. After landing in the US, #customs agents demanded access to his Pixel phone, which was running an alternative version of #Android called #GrapheneOS. Rather than hand over his data, Tunick used a clever feature of the software to delete everything. Now, he's facing federal charges.

@davidgerard

It occurs to me that once you take deliberate action to evade a mechanism that has been put in place to restrict access - particularly *your* access - to a computer system, you are now in "unauthorized access to a computer system" felony territory.

US Title (?) 18, § 1030 - Fraud and related activity in connection with computers

> (a) Whoever— ... (2) intentionally accesses a computer without authorization or exceeds
> authorized access, and thereby obtains— ... (C) information from any protected computer;

Scraping content would seem to qualify as obtaining information.

#SanFrancisco jury could not reach unanimous decision to convict #GoldenGate Bridge #ProPalestine protestors of a felony #conspiracy charge brought by DA #BrookeJenkins for 2024 protest.

While seven activists were each found guilty of 6 misdemeanors including false imprisonment, obstruction of thoroughfare and #unlawful assembly, they eluded the lone #felony count, which carried a potential 15-year state #prison sentence for deliberately blocking traffic while unraveling a banner.

The identity of the agent accused of firing the shot, Christian Castro, 52, had not been disclosed until Monday. Castro was charged with 4 counts of second-degree #assault, a #felony, & 1 count of falsely reporting a crime, a #misdemeanor.

A #state investigation into the Jan 14 #shooting of the #immigrant, Julio C. Sosa-Celis, had been stymied by the refusal of federal agencies to share information, including the names of the 2 agents involved in a chase that preceded the shooting.

The agency has claimed the majority of new hires are police & military veterans. But evidence is mounting that applicants with questionable histories were either not fully vetted before they were brought on or were hired in spite of their past, an AP investigation found.

Thursday, prosecutors announced #felony #assault charges against #ICE officer Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr. for pointing a handgun at the occupants of a car after pulling alongside them on a #Minneapolis-area highway in February.

Violating the #law would be a #misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in #prison. A second offense within five years would be a #felony, carrying up to a 5-year prison sentence.

Polis & #Trump have repeatedly feuded over Tina Peters, a former county clerk in Colorado who was #convicted in state court on #felony charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Polis has defended the conviction & refused the White House’s request to transfer Peters to a federal prison. Because of this, in December, Trump in a Truth Social post called Polis a “scumbag” & said he should “rot in Hell.” [so presidential🤦🏼‍♀️]
