Probably, but all the information on the front except your photo in contained in the QR codes on the back. If they manually enter that info then I am more certain only that info is being entered and potentially retained.

Scanners have been taking images and processing them for over 20 years. What you speak of isn't new technology. The gas stations, super markets, bars that I go to aren't taking photos or scanning the front and using OCR. They scan the QR codes on the back. Whether its a really old bar bode scanner or taking an image of a QR code if the code is covered by painters tape the scanner will not read it and the image will be of painters tape. Its effective against either style of scanner. You shouldn't underestimate the ability of something so simple to render a modern expensive high tech system useless. The thief that stole my motorcycle was able to prevent detection by the ALPR camera system in my city with a sticker over my tag number. Some painters tape would have bene equally effective. If I notice establishments scanning the front of the license I might go back to either not handing it over and/or asking them not to scan it when I do. Another effective method I have found to avoid scanning of your ID is to use your passport. There is a single barcode in the back of the passport book, but this is a regular barcode and not a QR code so it contains far less info than the back of your drivers license or state issued ID. Also most POS systems are not even programed to read that so it will be manual entry nearly 100% of the time. On the bottom of the page with your photo most of the info printed on it is contained in a short form code. At the airport;? seen scanners capable of reading that, but I have never seen one in use outside of an airport. Using passport as ID is great because the are universally accepted, but rarely anticipated. Using a passport has the upside of not having your address information in it. There is a section in it where the passport holder can write their address, but I don't do that and many people do not. On the other hand a passport is bulky to carry, more difficult to replace, and has your place of birth on it though that is only the state of birth on mine. I consider state of birth to be less sensitive than my current address.

If its a place I know that scans I will ask them not to scan it. If I didn't know I used to keep the license in my hand and show it to them and then if they tried to take ask if they were fixing to scan it. I have since put a piece of painters tape on the back of my license where the bar codes are. Now I just hand it to the person without saying anything. I have yet to be asked about the painters tape. Usually when it doesn't scan they just enter it. Less confrontation. I don't think people that didn't fully grasp mass surveillance capabilities of these cameras are morons. They get marketed as finding stolen cars and essential law enforcement tools. This thread also started over a year ago and attention on flock cameras has certainly increased since then. There have been some high profile fumbles by flock since that and that superbowl add where Ring showed off their search party feature. It's raised questions about mass surveillance and whether the government should have access to this information especially without a warrant. Hopefully more people realize.

My motorcycle was stolen out of a storage unit I rent last week. I asked the police officer who took the initial report if they ever recover stolen motorcycles. He said cars sometimes motorcycles not really. Maybe if they park it or it hits on one their ALPRs (Automated License Plate Readers), but they aren't allowed to chase them. ALPR is the generic term of the Flock branded ones used in Denver. Ultimately my motorcycle was recovered 3 days later using a Bluetooth tracker I had hidden in it. ALPRs played no role in the recovery. The thief did not bother to even remove my license plate they simply put a sticker on it to cover the plate number. ALPRs are probably more useful for cars than motorbikes as a sticker on the license plate would be more likely to get you pulled over and the police would be more likely to pursue if the vehicle attempts to flee. I still think they are minimally effective. When the police recovered my motorbike they also recovered a stolen car which had avoided the ALPRs until my tracker sent them to these guys.

Okay so after some searching to find out when the engagement happened and when stories appeared that the engagement post was deleted along with time info from the victim's social media post (dues in December, sonogram at 12 weeks, currently 15 weeks, etc.), I think the timeline is as follows. Late March victim gets pregnant - maybe the week after NCAAs. (15 weeks at victims social media post referencing assault/due in December) Around May 6 - Successful proposal from Ferrari. Around May 20 - stories appear stating the proposal post had been deleted. I am not sure your plot twist works with that timeline. If they started dating after she got pregnant it would have been too soon for her to be showing. AJ proposed when she was 6-7 weeks pregnant. She probably didn't know for long at that point herself and he only would have known if she told him. Then they seemingly broke up two weeks later. If he likes dating pregnant ladies it would seem odd for him to end it then when there is a lot of pregnancy left. I suppose the plot twist that it's not his kid is possible. I more think your explanation of how that would have happened is implausible given the apparent timeline. I think it's more likely the kid is Ferrari's.

Yes that can be the case. I don't know how it works in NE. At a minimum someone affiliated with AJ would have to pay $20,000 cash to the court, but they may have to pay $20,000 to a bail bondsman and put up up the house as collateral against the $180,000. I recall Pat Downey's family had to use real estate as collateral to get him out of jail when he was arrested in high school. Not sure if that was with the court or a bail bondsman that paid cash to the court. I don't know how it works in MD either. "My father's brother, Mickey, put up his house as a bond for $100,000 to bail out Pat for the fight at the Turkey Bowl [in 2009]. The bail for the fight with the midshipmen [in 2010] was $50,000 and my friend Rich Mitchell put up his house," said Patrick Downey Jr. "The bail in the third incident and the one which led to him being placed into home-school status was originally set at $500,000," said Patrick Downey Jr. "But that was subsequently lowered to $50,000 at the bail review, and my same friend again put up his house. For the case in Anne Arundel County, my parents paid for his representation, which has been their contribution towards the legal fees." https://patch.com/maryland/glenburnie/despite-troubled-past-north-county-athlete-seeks-a-fresh-start

Not what I meant. Reconciliation would be a bad idea, but it happens a lot in DV cases

I don't really follow his social life. I'm not sure how long ago the proposal happened, but from what I recall at the time it was taken down almost as quickly as it went up so I never saw it. Before the arguments about greco started in elijedi06 posted some screenshots that were supposed to be from the pregnant lady's social media. That seems to confirm that she is the ex-fiancée and her baby is due in December. Because I kind of missed the brief engagement I don't know how that timeline matches with the proposal, but it seems plausible that it could be his kid. Analyzing his chances of getting a long jail term here the pregnancy may be a factor one way or the other. DV cases often fall apart because the couple reconciles and the victim becomes uncooperative. If she is pregnant with his kid even if she is not open to reconciling, which is a bad idea, she might not think it is in the best interest of her child to have his/her father serve a long prison sentence. Conversely she could look at this as an opportunity to keep him away from her child for a loong time. This is of course assuming she is pregnant with his kid.

Are you guys talking about Platner? Looks like he suspended his campaign.

Is she pregnant with his kid?

That depends. Some places a friend, family member, associate of the defendant can put up the 10% cash and if they fail to appear their bail is revoked and a warrant is issued. The 10% they had put up is lost and the other 90% is due. I don't know how it works in NE or where Ferrari was arrested. I know some places work as I described.

There is a good chance the US will host again in 2038. FIFA has a rule that countries in the same confederations as the countries that hosted the last two World Cups are not allowed to bid for the next World Cup and the 2030 World Cup has a really complicated hosting arrangement which eliminates most of the world. There were two bids to host in 2030 and both were multi country. One was a combined bid from Morocco, Portugal, and Spain and the other was a combined bid bid from Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay. Morocco is in the African confederation (CAF), Spain and Portugal in UEFA (Europe) and the other three in South America (CONMEBOL). FIFA picked the Morocco/Spain/Portugal but also gave each of the South American bidders one match to celebrate 100 years from the first World Cup which was played in South America. So the 2030 World Cup eliminated 3 confederations (CAF, UEFA, CONMEBOL) from bidding for the 2034 and 2038 world cups. Since CONCACAF is the host this year that left only Asia and Oceania as eligible to host the 2034 World Cup. Only 1 stadium that meets the FIFA minimum capacity of 40,000 exists in all of Oceania so it was pretty clear that 2034 eould be hosted in Asia or at minimum a joint bid with an Oceania nation(s). It went to Saudi Arabia. Looking to 2038 countries from AFC, CAF, UEFA, and CONMEBOL will be prohibited from hosting due to the rule. This leaves the only options as CONCACAF or Oceania. Oceania is unlikely to make a winning bid because the stadium requirements mentioned earlier and outside of the three countries hosting the 2024 World Cup there are 2 stadiums with capacity over 40,000 in CONCACAF. So it must be the US, Mexico, and/or Canada in 2038. FIFA has additional stadium requirements like all semifinals venues must have a capacity of at least 60,000 and at least 80,000 for the opening match and final. Canada currently doesn’t have any that meet the semifinal/final requirements and Mexico has one above 80k and another that meets the semifinal but not final requirement. Still either country could successfully bid, but it would require more new construction and $$ than a bid involving the USA. If none of the US, Mexico, and Canada want to host in 2038 FIFA probably opens up the process to other confederations.

I never said otherwise. There is more to being the best site than setting an attendance record. The attendance record for a World Cup final is 199,854 which was at Maracanã Stadium in the 1950 World Cup. Does this make Brazil the best place to host the final?

Interesting. That doesn't sound like new charges. Maybe he was arrested in Douglas County on the warrant from the assault on the pregnant woman in Lincoln. Instagram post probably had the details wrong.

If NCAAs break an attendance record in 2028 at US Bank Arena will that mean Minneapolis is the best place to host?

Was he talking about attendance at the World Cup or the 250th Birthday celebration on the National Mall?

Allegedly he's been arrested again. https://www.instagram.com/p/DagBU45CURb/

Of course he was highly rated, but highly rated wrestlers coming out of high school routinely fail to AA or win a title in college. In his class only one other top 10 recruit ended up winning a title (O'Toole) and 5 have not yet AAed. The class of 2021 was similar with two top ten recruits winning titles (Hamiti and Figueroa) and 5 AAing so far. 2019 was a little better with 3 winning NCAA titles (Kerkvliet, Allirez, and Starocci) and 6 AAing. None of those guys won as true freshman. Even top tier #1 recruits fail to win as true freshman. Ferrari was highly ranked out of high school, but he was not expected to win that year as evidenced by his #4 seed at NCAAs. Winning over Miles Amine who would go in to place 3rd at the Olympics later that year was definitely a surprise. OSU did a good job with him and Smith was more effective than a string of highly regarded coaches Ferrar would wrestle under later in his career. Below is a list of all true freshman NCAA champs. Dick Hutton OSU 1947 Dick Hauser Cornell 1947 Lowell Lange Cornell 1947 Bill Nelson UNI 1947 Pat Milkovich MSU 1972 Don Rohn Clarion 1973 Darryl Burley Lehigh 1979 Matt Reiss NC State 1980 Pat Smith OSU 1990 Lincoln McIlravy Iowa 1993 Teyon Ware OU 2003 Dustin Schlatter MN 2006 Kyle Dake Cornell 2010 J'den Cox Mizzou 2014 Myles Martin Ohio State 2016 Mark Hall PSU 2017 Spencer Lee Iowa 2018 Yianni Diakomihalis Cornell 2018 AJ Ferrari OSU 2021 Jax Forrest OSU 2026 Sergio Vega OSU 2026 Landon Robideau OSU 2026

Yes and that's true of every world cup. The World Cup record for both cumulative and average attendance was previously the 1994 World Cup hosted in the US. The main thing driving the US success here is stadium size. The US has more large stadiums than any other country. When the US hosted the World Cup in 1994 all the stadiums that were used had a capacity over 50,000. The only other time all the host stadiums had a capacity of at least 50,000 was 1974 in Germany. This World Cup all US host venues have a capacity over 60,000. Only two stadiums have capacities below 50,000. One is in Mexico and the other in Canada. Perhaps due to the smaller venues and the expanded field this year is behind 1994 in average attendance. Compare this to the hosts of the last two World Cups. Qatar had 0 stadiums with a seating capacity over 30,000 before winning the bid to host over the USA. They had to build 8 stadiums with seating capacity over 44,000 all within a 20 mile radius as part of their bid. Russia hosted the World Cup before that in 2018. There are only two football stadiums with a capacity over 50,000 in the entire country. Two host sites had capacities under 40k.

This is unsurprising. The field was expanded this year from 32 to 48 teams. This added 4 groups of 4 teams to the group stage and an extra round to the knockout stage. An additional 6x4=24 group games and 16 knockout games. Adding 40 games to the competition would have set a cumulative attendance record regardless of where it was hosted.

The Flo article appears differently in their mobile app. Looking at it in a desktop web browser I see the source of the confusion. On the top it says "Last Updated on Apr 27, 2020 by Brock Hite" but that is most likely referencing the last update to the class of 2020 class ranking article series. The rankings being displayed are from April 9th 2019. If you scroll to the bottom there is a little drop down box showing the date of the ranking. You can click it and select earlier or later dates. Ferrari was number 1 as late as August 6, 2019 before dropping in the last two rankings. Another give away that these are not the latest rankings you are looking at is at the bottom it says "or feedback, email me at [email protected]." Willie left Flo in November 2019. He did the 2020 recruiting class rankings in April and August of 2019. Brock Hite took over after that and did the rankings in January and March of 2020. It looks like he last updated them in April 2020 maybe with college commitment additions? I don't know. The OSU article backs up this timeline. They refer to Ferrari as "the nation's former No. 1 overall recruit AJ Ferrari Jr." and "the No. 1 ranked pound-for-pound wrestler in the class of 2020 at the time of his commitment." The OSU article was written in the Fall of 2020 and would have been published after the final recruiting class rankings.

The AI you used quoted the Flo article from April 2019 and put April 2020 as the date. He fell from number 1 after he didn’t wrestle his entire senior season.

Exactly right that speech is protected. If she had encouraged people to start the fires to administer karma or something like that she could be charged, but just commenting that way on a natural disaster is not illegal. Hashemi was not a US citizen. He was a permanent resident, green card holder. Rubio revoked his green card. It would have been more challenging to deport him if he was a citizen. If he was a US citizen by birthright then it’s not possible. If he was a naturalized citizen it is theoretically possible if he had lied during the process and not too much time had passed. Disloyalty might be enough there too because one part of the naturalization process is taking an oath of allegiance to the United States. Hashemi may share some of mother’s ideas but he was not involved in the hostage crisis. He had not even been born when that took place.

Did I say that? Whoops. I meant Keegan O’Toole. The only NCAA champs from the class of 2020 are Keegan O’Toole (2), Ferrari (1), and Trumble (1). Ferrari and Amos might be the only top ten recruits in the class with remaining eligibility.

That can't be right. Pat Smith, McIlravy, Ware?, Dake, Schlatter, Spencer Lee, Diakomihalis... Mark Hall.
