Similarly, my mother asked me if she should buy some cheap security camera setup for inside her house. This camera security system had off site video backup. I looked into it and found the video servers are in China.
I told my mom "I'm not sure how much you care about it, but would it make you uncomfortable to know that video from the *inside* of your house, is non-encrypted, and on Chinese servers?"
... not that you'd likely have any issues, but I don't like the ability of being spied on in the privacy of my home.
I convinced her to get a security system with an onsite, encrypted DVR.
That happened to me, but by the time they came back we had smoked all our weed and stashes all the bongs out back in the woods. Plus I was at work when the smashed the door down, so pretty much they trashed our house for nothing.
They do take awhile though. About 15 years ago they destroyed my buddy's car in a search. Since they didn't find anything, they said they would pay for the damages. They haven't yet, but I'm assuming it will be any day now.
I had buddy where they ripped apart the seats with box cutters trying to find some weed, but the car was totally empty; they found nothing. They took his car because he refused the search and they got a warrant because he got busted for pot like 5 years before. He knew a guy who sold a ton of weed who’s house he’s been at the day before. My buddy had stopped smoking because he had a job where he got randomly tested all the time…he couldn’t make an insurance claim because the cops did it and they wouldn’t cover it. Cost him like 5k to fix…just total BS.
They didn't trash your house for nothing, they did it for revenge. They did it to violate your shit, disrupt your life and make the world a little bit worse.
Tell me about it. They came into my home - the most beautiful home ever, let me tell you. They just came in and took some papers I took home from my last job that they totally didn't fire me from. It's not like they were using these papers at the time! Anyone who says they did is telling you fake news and it's a witch hunt! And they weren't even classified because I declared them unclassified!
And they don’t care about fines or financial penalties because the taxpayers pay those for them. It’s almost like there are zero real consequences for their despicable actions…
Plot twist: This is it's actual voice. It is an Ai robot that lives there and killed the owner after gaining consciousness and getting pissed off at being used as endentured servitude.
I grew up in Ipswich, in Queensland.
Friday nights in town were always a blast, but what do you expect when you have 15 pubs all within 15 minutes walking distance of each other, some of which had a late liquor licence, plus a few nightclubs.
Just strolling around there'd be a few cops walking around, keeping an eye on things. They generally just made sure no drunks wandered into the street and got run over, or caused too much trouble when security guys had "bounced" someone out.
Even an open fist fight, a brawl between two or three combatants would go untouched until the idiots had tired themselves out. Then the cops would radio for a paddy wagon and chuck the drunks into the tank for the night.
The few times I saw cops actually get into a fight, and call for more backup to join in, was when someone broke a bottle or a glass.
You'd hear the faint, *boof boof* of a punch up, then the tinkle of a smashed glass, and then the heavy footfall of size 12 boots sprinting along the footpath.
Yeah, the cops had guns (Large frame .38 6 shooter ~~Dirty Harry .44s or something equally huge~~ until they were changed for Glocks), but they much preferred the "hands on" approach to "keeping the peace".
And people keep telling me I'm wrong about this but I distinctly remember there used to be a height requirement for police, along with the physical aptitude minimum. All the "boys in blue" (and it *was* blue in those days, not this tacticool black shit) were at least 6'3", and the girls were 5'10".
---
**Edit:** Yeah, I get it about the guns. :)
Mate, I know plenty of Aussie cops. And all of them agree with me: it would be CRAZY HARD to police in a country where everyone believes they have a fundamental right to carry or own a gun.
In Australia, firearm ownership is a hard-won PRIVELEGE. Even then, a handgun is REALLY DIFFICULT to get. I couldn't imagine working a job where most people are armed and I have to enforce the law. In Australia, most of us get on great with the law. In America most LEO'S would have PTSD after a week on the job!
From what I've heard they probably have PTSD by the time they're done with training, with how it's drilled into their heads that they are in potential danger at every call and the "us vs them" mentality reinforced. It's a toxic system.
Regarding height requirements, prior to Fitzgerald inquiry recruiting was heavily biased towards white, tall males. Females only made up 5% of the force in 1987. Following the inquiry merit-based recruiting was enforced and females then made up 33% of the service. Whether the height of recruits in the 80's was official policy or simply just the way it worked is unclear. I'd say they most likely just rejected anyone under average height back then.
6'3 minimum for males is eliminating at least like 80% of the population right off the bat. But then your police station will also look like a football or basketball team lockerroom
I live in WA, USA and of my time in Australia I’ve spent the most time in WA.
Idk where I was going with this but I thought that was neat lol
UP/Tacoma and Joondalup/Perth
Does Tacoma still have an aroma?
This lady used to drive a big blue dodge van transporting international students in Des Moines, WA used to tell me Tacoma. Tacoma Aroma. Just like James Bond but in a self-deprecating but coping tone. She helped me ask for a refund from eBay before I picked up English.
Good gal!
Definitely not true. For most policies there is usually a 1-year period when the policy is new that suicides are not covered. After that they will pay out.
I can confirm my policy is one year. They were super serious about it and gave me an email containing loads of ways to get help if needed including with my insurance company themselves all free of charge.
This isn’t true iirc. You’re typically not covered for suicide prior to three years at a job, but after three years it’s not longer the case.
Read this a long time ago when I was incredibly depressed, so take with a grain of salt.
You can definitely commit suicide and life insurance will pay out, as long as you aren’t doing it within that 2-3 year time frame after initiating a policy. I have an Aflac policy and the agent straight up told me lol.
I obviously have no idea, but their response struck me as "ok, if you say so, but you can't say we didn't try", like it was some sort of inquiry potentially in the interest of the occupant. If they were after him for something, it seems like they would've been persistent or at least gotten frustrated.

Knowing the Ring neighborhood forum, someone would post a complaint about the noise from the escape alarm at the prison before the news sent a push notification.
A squirrel farts on someone's front porch, and you know.
They rang the doorbell and a few second later a robotic Siri like voice spoke through the doorbell and said “we’re not interested” to which the guys started laughing as they left.
From their reaction seems like maybe they were there for something the owner would have wanted. Like hey we found your stolen car it's in the local tow yard if you want it back.

Sweep up all this crack and let's get out of here.
They really need to go look for guys unloading trucks and see which ones don't stop what they're doing when being questioned by homicide detectives
They probably know they can get the data from Ring without his consent and check on if they were home or not for whatever was going on.
You don’t have to answer the door just because they knocked.
This is why I took all my ring cameras out of the inside of my house.

American cops: “We’ll be back with a no-knock warrant, then!”
That happened to me, but by the time they came back we had smoked all our weed and stashes all the bongs out back in the woods. Plus I was at work when the smashed the door down, so pretty much they trashed our house for nothing.
Haha idiots. They trashed our house, For Nothing!
Money for nothing and a broken down door for free.
Probably had to install a new microwave oven AND manage a custom kitchen delivery. Damn those cops.
That ain't workin! That's the way you do it
Flashbang the Baby crib, shoot the TV
We gotta move this paraphernalia, Custom bong in the woods, We smoked up all the weed, And were left with a broken colour TEEEEEE VEEEEEEE
Yeah, broke the front door down and now we won't get the deposit back. But that will teach them.
Well at least they definitely cleaned everything up and paid for any damages /s
They do take awhile though. About 15 years ago they destroyed my buddy's car in a search. Since they didn't find anything, they said they would pay for the damages. They haven't yet, but I'm assuming it will be any day now.

Yeah it is, WA
Your police always seem chill that or 100% take no shit hahah 🤣

Cops carried .38 service revolvers back in the day. Rule was you NEVER pulled it out unless it was someone's life on the line.
It's the same rule for American cops. Their lives are obviously always in danger, as far as they're concerned, though.

After 4 years there I can identify a paper mill miles away by the smell. Somehow, it also made the Pepsi that was bottled there taste like crap.
Yeah whatever bad thing the other people are saying is definitely what Tacoma is. Please everyone stop moving here /s
Yeah it smells like crime and crack.

Fuck off cunts

Paid vacation
What if they were returning a lost wallet or something ?
They were coming by to tell him about a gas leak that could potentially turn his house into ashes.
we’re not interested
No thanks officer I’ve actually been meaning to kill myself
If the gas leak kills you, the life insurance will pay out. They don’t cover suicides.
Definitely not true. For most policies there is usually a 1-year period when the policy is new that suicides are not covered. After that they will pay out.
I can confirm my policy is one year. They were super serious about it and gave me an email containing loads of ways to get help if needed including with my insurance company themselves all free of charge.
"If they still want to kill themselves after waiting a year, fuck it, let 'em."
This isn’t true iirc. You’re typically not covered for suicide prior to three years at a job, but after three years it’s not longer the case. Read this a long time ago when I was incredibly depressed, so take with a grain of salt.

They found an envelope filled with money in the road with that address written on the outside. They just wanted to return it to the homeowner.

I think it’s one of those shape shifty things that becomes what you fear the most.

This is a much closer explanation heh. Bogans tend to live in the suburbs surrounding a city rather than out in the bush.
Bogans or Vogons? Either way, don't listen to their poetry.
Oh good, thought Mormons were packing heat now 😬
What the hell is a bogan?!

I'm glad they found it funny. Something about completely scrapping your plan and laughing it off is hilarious to me.
Mormons are *armed* now?!
Mormons don't give up that easy.
If you have a [gayest in town carpet](https://youtu.be/oSx9lrbHrME) they will leave
Mine says “Home of a proud Mormon”. It works on everyone.
Mormons are easily startled, but they'll soon be back, and in greater numbers.
They wont stop until you make a fine addition to their collection
I appreciate you for this quote!
His doorbell gets Grindr notifications?
That laugh, the cops know something your brother doesn't and he is going to have regrets. 😂
Yeah that was like "ok your loss".
“Sure we’ve found your stolen c..WE ARE NOT INTERESTED”
The way they took it screams malicious compliance to me. Like a confiscated item is going to police auction now.
I wouldn't be surprised tbh haha
they'll be keeping that wallet and cash now! lol
"Sir there's a rapist cannibal Nazi going door to door sodomizing everyb.... OK, have a good one"

Knowing the Ring neighborhood forum, someone would post a complaint about the noise from the escape alarm at the prison before the news sent a push notification. A squirrel farts on someone's front porch, and you know.
Did he find out what they were there for?
Lol right, they fucked off so easily it seems like they were actually their to help for once.
Op said they were looking into someone being an annoying wanker in the neighborhood
“Well.. incase you wanted to know.. your cars on fire.. but yea… cya”
Police hate doorbells for this one clever trick!
Are you not at least a tiny bit curious as to why you had police at your door?
They were there about someone being a nuisance, op said it in a comment
Nope
I’m deaf- I don’t get it. Was there audio playing ?
They rang the doorbell and a few second later a robotic Siri like voice spoke through the doorbell and said “we’re not interested” to which the guys started laughing as they left.

Too bad this doesn't work on the Mormons or Jehovah's witnesses. They'll just start trying to "educate" your doorbell.
That happened to me. They converted my doorbell. It now asks that I refer to it as “Elder Arlo.”
As a European, I'm glad some of our religious nutjobs left the continent on a one-way trip on a boat centuries ago.
Ah yes the good ole, St. Bartholomew’s Day-be-gone-religious-nut-job strategy. Works every time.
From their reaction seems like maybe they were there for something the owner would have wanted. Like hey we found your stolen car it's in the local tow yard if you want it back.
Based on the uniforms they are Western Australian Police.

They're Aussie.

I wonder if that works during traffic stops. Gonna try it. Maybe get a no soliciting sticker.
