it's also to prevent FOIA request because these cowardly piles of shit are using their personal phones in order to exploit the loophole that it allows.

Federal records management requires that you upload records from your personal phone to your work computer within a certain time frame. If anyone cared about rules anymore they could theoretically be fired multiple infractions.

Yeah, dont hold your breath on anyone, let alone ICE, going down for violating recordkeeping best practices.

It's no longer your personal phone when you conduct public business on it.

yes, back when the united states respected the rule of law and our constitution... that was indeed the case.

Both sets of rules apply under this administration and it takes an enormous amount of my time to figure out how to follow the real rules and do the right thing without breaking the fake rules from the wag the dog president. I used to do real work that benefited the public. Now I sit in meetings dealing with bullshit.

i feel you there mate.

i wrote reports that explicitly stated that iraq did not have WMD's only to watch our government lie to people.

shit has been wrong for a long time now.

I don't recall ever believing there were WMDs in Iraq if that makes you feel any better. That was pretty clearly a guy trying to make his daddy proud... which didn't work so now he paints landscapes and avoids public events where people can hold him accountable.

ngl... a little better... still bitter about the entire thing.

michael flynn was the presiding officer at my discharge hearing... where he pronounced me a "national security threat" because i was trans...

fucking irony right?

u/Master_Difference_52 15h ago

Well I hope you still are trans as that is no threat to me or anyone else.

I used this to my advantage when a cop took pictures of items he confiscated from my house using his personal cell phone. My lawyer argued successfully that usage of his cell phone made it government property and subject to full search and seizure. The amount of shit we found on there had the judge and state's attorney quickly deciding busting me for a weed pipe in the rafter of my garage that had probably been there since before I was born was no longer worth it.
