How Original!

Filed under: Design

Awwww! Looks like one of the graffiti babies in NYC got disgruntled and pissed off about the constant police state of the city. Way to be original, man! That Abu Ghraib stencil and cheesy line of text you stole from the MTA are about as original as teabagging a dude in Halo 3. We get it. Abu Ghraib was a fuck up (albeit a quite hilarious one!) and the MTA searches your bag every once in awhile. As Arnold would say, “Stop whining!”

Respect My Authority

Filed under: Misc. Gadgets

Here’s an Eric Cartman-approved gadget. With a smart ass name like Traffic Prompter, you know these sirens are going to be put to good misuse. At $16 each, they each sport a magnetic base, making a pair ideal for robbery, rape and exploitation of the law. We don’t approve of misuse for personal gain but perhaps you could throw them in your party room to gain access to some panties.

Remember, try anything funny and someone will take a picture of you and will send it to the police via MMS.

Slow And Steady Wins The War On Drugs

Growing marijuana is a crime and that’s a damned shame. It’s no mystery that it’s a great pain reliever and can turn any award winning drama into a laugh-out-loud comedy. The war on drugs has always been a controversial topic in the realm of political agenda and the media. It’s only getting more controversial now that they’re busting growers with GPS turtles. Yes, GPS turtles.

After reports of several marijuana fields throughout Rock Creek Park south of the DC/Maryland line, the U.S. Park Police set up surveillance. Ordinarily that would mean they equipped the area with strategically placed cameras, but instead they exposed this grower with help from a box turtle fashioned with a GPS device. They eventually found the little guy crawling through a big pot field. What a terrible way to go down…busted by a turtle.

Get Ticketed, Get A Free Headset

If a cop pulls you over for nothing more than driving while calling work to let them know you’ll be a little late, don’t piss yourself just yet. Just because you’ve been ticketed for a traffic violation involving cellphone use whilst driving doesn’t mean you’re in the shitter just yet. You might be able to get a free Bluetooth headset out of it.

Like the Google Prius, you can laugh in a cop’s face. But, not because you work for a multi-billion dollar company that’ll take care of the ticket for you but because Headsets.com is giving away free headsets to anyone caught driving while on their cellphone. A free Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth headset for, depending on what state you’re in, a hundred dollar ticket, sounds like a steal. Take it over to Best Buy to get it set up for $10. Now, that’s a steal.

Anti-Theft Device For Bike Leads Owner Into Sticky Situation

Some bikes, like that sideways mindfuck one, are worth getting stolen while others, like the ATB, are not. After all, you spent your hard earned cash to get a bike that’s older than the company producing it, so why should you have to suffer when some dead beat walks off with it? Have no fear, Immobitag is here.

This plastic sleeve attaches to your bike’s frame leaving unsuspecting crooks second guessing. The only way to remove it is to cut the bike’s frame, destroying the bike. Each tag features a unique ID number that you register on the companies website, ensuring them that you are the rightful owner. For only $25, you’d be saving a lot of grief if you ride in an area that’s prone to bike theft. Just do yourself a favor if your bike gets stolen: don’t try to track it down with your radio frequency identification tag seeker gizmo, leave that to the professionals.

UK Plans On Making Everyone A Cop

Filed under: Internet, Software

“The public are the best weapon for fighting crime,” says United Kingdom’s Home Secretary Jacqui Smith after introducing a new approach to criminal statistical surveillance earlier this month. Once police in England and Wales started publishing their monthly crime statistics, giving the public more information on local crime information, they knew they had to take it one step further. The government plans for a system of interactive maps showing the public when and where crimes have happened, so everyone can get in on beating up the local thug.

“By rolling out up-to-date, interactive crime maps we can better inform people about crime problems in their area and enable them to have much more of a say in what their local police focus on,” Jacqui Smith added.

Quite frankly, I don’t give two shits where the criminals are, so long as they’re no where near me. The law is taking matters into it’s own hands, cause they’re pissed at Google.  By the end of the year, every neighborhood in England and Wales will have access to local crime information. The police are thinking, “can’t someone else do it?” I foresee multiple citizen arrests.

Cops Bust Massive DVD Piracy Ring In Texas

Ever wonder where your bootleg movies come from? If you live near Texas chances are they might have been made at a house in Fort Worth where the police just shut down a huge DVD counterfeiting ring. After receiving a complaint from a neighbor who saw a lot of late night activity at the house, the cops searched the place and found a bootleg movie factory filled with over 100 high speed DVD burners and piles of cash.

Inside the house, the DVD pirates were printing nearly 7,000 discs per hour and the police say they had burners ” alt=”" />DVD jewelers with some of the leftover discs when they’re done with the evidence. Since these bootleg movie barons were so professional, I bet the police also found some of those slick DiscPainters during the raid.

Pistol Cam Captures That Special Moment

Celebrating the recent ruling on the Second Amendment? Grab that Colt .45 and slap the $695 Pistol Cam on it. It attaches to most handguns and records up to an hour of MPEG4 audio and video. Amazing as it sounds, it’s primarily designed for law enforcement with the Orange County SWAT team giving it their approval.

I’m pretty sure that this Pistol Cam combined with uncensored video hosting like LiveLeak.com will lead to many a video of soldiers dicking around.
