Good. I hope there are many law enforcement people in every BTC meetup, so that they see there's nothing wrong about it. BTC's got to move from its drug & gambling image.

I used to be a citizen and a taxpayer. Those days are long gone.

Yay for the police.
I have lived in bad neighborhoods. When the number of police officers on the beat went up enough, they quit being bad neighborhoods. The troublemakers, thieves, scammers, dopeheads, gangbangers, and dealers all decided they would have better odds pursuing their chosen professions in other areas, leaving the law abiding citizens happy and satisfied and owning property that tripled in value as that element was finally driven away. Seriously, three cheers for the cops! Increased police presence in my bad neighborhood had the opposite result. The most the officers would do was have friendly laughing chats with drug dealers & gang members and stop just short of partaking in their open alcoholic beverages and non-medical marijuana themselves. Crime went up, and so did the body count from the street racers playing Bowling for Children down busy residential streets, while the only traffic stops conducted were for dead brake lights. Our car was stolen and recovered a ridiculous amount of time later, covered in months of dust with a dead battery, not stripped, just a 24 pack of water bottles stolen out of the trunk, in a parking lot on the rich side of town, where it had spent months sitting in the same spot according to security, after apparrent joyriding and subsequent abandonment. This isn't even 2% of all the crimes that occurred there. Still, you know how to change the law, right? If you live in an area with democracy, you change it by participating in the process and voting!
"It's not who votes that counts, it's who counts the votes." When the worst of all possible evils always wins where it counts, you realize Stalin's thesis thoroughly haunts American elections. |

I have been thinking about this since reading the criminal complaints against piratea40 and DPR. It says they are on forums since 2011. I am starting to think that being a "hero" member actually makes me MORE wary of the person. They are probably FBI or treasury agents. I wonder if some are mods by now?

Hero Member is just amount of posts, not time. You can see date registered in profiles, like mine, I haven't been around since 2011.

My post was meant to be sardonic, but with the speed of your denial, I now suspect you. and it is a time measurement. It is the number of 14 day periods that you have made a post. |

You realize that Bitcoin's future has absolutely nothing to do with what law enforcement thinks about it, right? In all seriousness, bitcoin's future is based on it becoming a stable, reliable solution that someone is convinced enough of to invest substantial amounts of money building platforms and businesses that depend on btc. getting drugs out of the focus and into the "noise" (like they are with fiat) is a good first step. |

If you are Oakland it would probably go something like "I thought it was my taser, not my gun." |
sig spam anywhere and self-moderated threads on the pol&soc board are for losers.

From my understanding, undercovers are limited in their ability to have direct, long term relationships with people on forums and such. So the undercover's probably spend alot more itme reading than trolling.

Also if you ask them they have to tell you they're a cop. This is how that works, yes it is. So any law enforcement officers please post in the thread below this post. Thank you. |

The only thing I'm even remotely upset about is that the ladies of negotiable affection went away too. there is much win in this one "It's not who votes that counts, it's who counts the votes." When the worst of all possible evils always wins where it counts, you realize Stalin's thesis thoroughly haunts American elections.

There is no question that police officers are allowed to directly mislead and/or deceive others about their identity, their law enforcement status, their history, and just about anything else, without breaking the law or compromising their case. For instance, law enforcement officers directly engaged in the enforcement of controlled substance laws are exempt from laws surrounding the purchase, possession, sales or use of illegal substances. https://www.erowid.org/freedom/police/police_info6.shtmlParanoia in 5, 4, 3, 2...

Why would 'law Enforcement" have to go undercover in the first place?
As long as you aren't running another SR or dodging taxes...then you have nothing to worry about.
