Thought the alphabet boys already been sucking up all the info on the interwebs like kirby
Seems more like a public relations piece to make everybody feel good about /justify having their 4th amendment rights violated on a daily basis

From the woman whose application was deniedā¦ but we donāt know why as of yet. I imagine the East Orange city council must record their meetings, maybe they say why they were denying her company the license?
I presume East Orange will have more than one retail establishment? She makes it sound like they were deciding between the two businesses and hers lost out, but it isnāt clear thatās the case.

Still 4th amendment violations in most peopleās estimation, that legal jargon doesnāt change the reality on the ground of the unconstitutional stasi-like surveillance state we call home. The Obama White House commissioned a study that showed zero terrorist plots were foiled because of our mass surveillance system, so what gives? The so-called Patriot Act/USDAA also provides cover for indefinitely suspending haebeous corpus (due process) at will and allows Uncle Sam to assassinate US citizens on US soil ā that kind of flies in the face of what our country is all about.

My favorite quote from an prof I once hadā¦ āRemember, itās a court of law, not a court of justice.ā
In other words, it doesnāt matter how we feel about it. Third party doctrine is precedent, until SCOTUS decides that we have a broad privacy interest in information we willing send to third parties a person probably wonāt have much success arguing warrantless searches of that transmitted information raise 4th amendment privacy issues.
ETA: Also, not supposed to be talking politics in here, trying to toe the line.

It was a good ride, Mass was smart to be the first regulated adult use retail market on the east coast.

Thatās what I always say, we need courts of the truth, not courts of law. Why donāt they just polygraph test everyone in a court as plaintive and defense, it would be quicker, less expensive for the public and there would be no miscarriage of justice.
The lawyers would be screwed for a change as we wouldnāt need them, so itās not going to happen.
After 4 years of dealing with workers compensation, my caseworker said to me, after my first case refusal, itās not what is true, itās what you can prove that matters, which was a mistake on her part as being a lateral thinker I then understood itās also what someone canāt disprove, and the balance is always with the injured person. So I stuck to my fight and won after another 3 years.

Definitely not a slow week for Jersey politiciansā¦ Iām running out of Jersey thing memes!
Sadly, the paper already put a paywall up on it, so not much use following the link. I read it before the paywall was up though; theyāre not entirely doing it for the right reasons, but at least itās the right thing to do. Theyāre dealing with worker safety and mistreatment, DGAF that Gov. Murphy is in bed with the Russian oligarch who owns the companyā¦

It almost seems like that was the real reason for the patriot act. 
If we keep sliding into the political realm the moderators are going to step in.

I presume hempcake is probably much better than a lot of the stuff they feed cows (on an industrial scale).
