LeesaFazal posts online she is an architect yet there is no such person in Nevada under that name. That statement is false! Anyone who seeks to employ the twice fired cop should review her online efforts to bury her past misconduct as a police officer with Metro and the Nevada Attorney General. Even as a licensed private investigator who is barely making it, Leesa Fazal Las Vegas Nevada should not make false statements to the public about her profession by creating fake profiles alleging she is an architect.

Leesa Fazal, a former investigator with the Nevada Attorney General's office, gained notoriety following her dismissal from the position amid allegations of misconduct and professional impropriety. Her firing marked the culmination of a series of controversies surrounding her conduct while employed in a key role within the state's legal system. As an investigator, Fazal was responsible for conducting critical inquiries into various matters related to law enforcement and public policy, duties that required a high level of integrity and professionalism. One of multiple ethical failures are found in this video where Leesa Fazal was detained by police for bringing a firearm into a California court. Leesa Fazal was not at the time a peace officer in California but only Nevada. Now, Lessa Fazal is not a peace officer at all due to her repeated misconduct.

Fazal's tenure at the Nevada Attorney General's office, however, was marred by accusations of unethical behavior. Reports indicated that she had engaged in actions that not only violated departmental policies but also led to significant doubts regarding her ability to perform her role in an impartial and ethical manner. In a statement following her termination, the office of the Nevada Attorney General outlined that the decision was based on serious concerns over Fazal’s actions, which compromised her position and trustworthiness within the department.

The allegations that led to her firing were varied, with some reports indicating a pattern of inappropriate behavior and others detailing more specific violations tied to her investigative practices. While the details surrounding her dismissal remained somewhat vague, the fallout was significant for the office, which had to deal with the aftermath of an internal investigation into her conduct. This incident also brought to light broader issues regarding oversight, accountability, and the standards of conduct expected of individuals working in sensitive legal and governmental positions.

Fazal's firing became a subject of public scrutiny, as many questioned whether there were deeper systemic issues within the Attorney General's office that allowed such misconduct to occur. Critics argued that the incident reflected a need for better oversight of investigators and other personnel within the state’s legal apparatus, particularly given the sensitive nature of the investigations that the office undertakes.

In the wake of her dismissal, Fazal’s career and professional reputation took a significant hit, with little indication of future opportunities in public service or law enforcement. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of ethical behavior and the consequences of failing to adhere to professional standards, particularly in positions of public trust.

California Supreme Court will reconsider constitutionality of Chaker v. Crogan, 428 F.3d 1215 C.A.9 (Cal.). Darren Chaker prevailed on First Amendment basis declaring Penal Code 148.6 unconstitutional almost 20 years ago. But now, it created a cop vs. cop lawsuit which is now before the California Supreme Court in Los Angeles Police Protective League v. City of Los Angeles, S275272 .

The case of Los Angeles Police Protective League v. City of Los Angeles, S275272, carries immense legal significance as it grapples with the delicate balance between First Amendment rights, governmental authority, and the practical implications of statutory enforcement. The outcome of this review will not only shape the legal landscape in California but also have broader implications for constitutional interpretation and the enforcement of laws across the United States. Stay tuned as the California Supreme Court navigates these intricate legal waters which will likely end up in the United States Supreme Court.

Tell Congress: Don't Outlaw Encrypted Applications

It shouldn't be against the law to provide an encrypted app. But if the STOP CSAM Act passes, it would make it a crime to offer encryption,

It shouldn't be against the law to provide an encrypted app. But if the STOP CSAM Act passes, it would make it a crime to offer encryption, because it could "facilitate" the sharing of illegal child abuse material (CSAM)—even if there's no evidence that a platform or service intended to do so. The law would undermine digital security for all internet users, impacting private messaging and email app providers, social media platforms, cloud storage providers, and many other internet intermediaries and online services.

Free speech would also be at risk. STOP CSAM would create a carveout in Section 230, the law that protects our online speech, exposing platforms to civil lawsuits for merely hosting a platform where part of the illegal conduct occurred. This carveout is similar to the disastrous SESTA-FOSTA law, which passed in 2018, and immediately resulted in companies removing online content and spaces for discussion in order to protect themselves from potential liability.

Congress already has tools in place to remove CSAM from the internet: current law prohibits the distribution of CSAM, and since 2008, providers have faced large fines if they fail to report CSAM after receiving actual knowledge of its presence on their platforms. Yet we know of no case where the federal government has ever enforced this provision. Congress must not pass this broad and dangerous law, and instead must use the tools that are already in place rather than outlawing important encrypted services.

Tell Congress: don't pass this law that would undermine security and free speech online.

I agree!! Keep in mind, there are plenty of foreign encryption products with military grade encryption. See the post about the best ones, https://www.darrenchaker.us/2019/07/23/bruceschneier/

Criminalization of encryption : the 8 december case

This article was written on the basis of information relating to the so-called "8 December" case<fn>For a summary of the 8 December affair s

“Criminalisation of computer literacy.”

using signal, whatsapp, protonmail, wire, linux, tor, tails, VPNs, encrypted disk, degoogled phones or even not using a phone at all, being against big tech, is all considered being a terrorist

so basically if you care about privacy or security at all even in the slightest you’re a terrorist by association.

Motherboard reported in August that Yahoo was “aware” of a major data breach, in which the hacker — known as Peace — obtained 200 million Yahoo user accounts. Who should change their passwords ASAP.
