Legal advice - hotel drama

NSA screens all calls in the US - and I am not sure how they screen outside teh US - for 'word groups' to pull out and look at.

What would trigger an FBI visit due to a phone call phrase - i cannot speak exactly - but yes, Virginia - You are being watched!

This thread is a good example of why I post here infrequently. The OP asks some simple questions, and the members go off on a lot of irrelevant dung to make it all about them.

You are wrong

If JRLawrence is wrong about anything it is about the depth of surveillance we are under. Besides, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc, there are Ring doorbells, Alexa devices and random cameras and microphones in public picking up everything. You think cops need a warrant for that? It may not be admissible in court but it is certainly used to build an airtight case. The politicians want to get rid of encryption, too. Now why would that be, if they only need to get a warrant and it it theirs? LE is likely in this forum as well, officially and unofficially, if you know what I mean. Oh, then there is a device called a "stingray" used by LE. It is a fake cell tower which your phone connects to if it is nearby. Your phone thinks it is a cell tower and that Stingray passes your call/texts to the real cell tower but not before recording everything in between. A classis "man in the middle" attack. There is also "Cellbrite" technology (Cellbrite.com). In some towns when you get pulled over you are required to surrender your cell phone during the stop. Guess what happens next?

Do you wonder why people just don't "disappear" that much anymore? They can run but they can't hide.

Bullshit from St Lawrence see way:

Paranoiais an instinct or thought process which is believed to be heavily influenced byanxietyorfear, often to the point ofdelusionandirrationality.[1]Paranoid thinking typically includespersecutorybeliefs, or beliefs ofconspiracyconcerning a perceived threat towards oneself (i.e. the American colloquial phrase,"Everyone is out to get me"). Paranoia is distinct fromphobias, which also involve irrational fear, but usually no blame.

Also check probable cause and laws related to usage of such info without legal standing, warrant, etc.

Thank you for supporting my post.

JRLawrence "You just have not done anything serious enough, yet, to justify taking you to an overloaded court system."
So, does that mean that the hobby has just gotten that much more serious in Texas, and hobbyists in Texas are more likely to get prosecuted, now that as of June 16, 2021 Texas just turned buying sex from a misdemeanor into a felony offense?

I think the statement That wal mart knows how many lanes to have open proves himself confused

I met up with a girl from SA at a hotel. She ended up stealing my id and cc. I confronted her outside and that led to hotel management calling police. I couldn't get her to give my my stuff back and she left. police arrived a few minutes later and knocked on my room.

I told them the story, nothing that had me doing any dealings or anything like that. I should have remained silent i know.

They escorted me out and i drove home. I left a used umbrella in the room. I find myself having to report my stolen id but am afraid they will try to convict me of something, what should i do?

It also poses a risk for revenge. So I just can't believe people are so reckless with their behavior. They're certainly asking for trouble!
