careful with that automated lite! open original image

Hi, be very careful how you protect your home or loved things and ppl. Setting up a security light could get you arrested. I got hauled off to jail. I have updated the pages, 1/4 down is perhaps the weirdest arrest in canadian history. I'm looking at 12 years in prison, for protecting (actually failing to protect, the light only angered the vandal) Be careful guys. Check with the police, and i would even ask for permission in writing.

Stay safe, spike


Heh... Are you the moderator??

Tgis newsgroup is "self-moderated". That means the regular posters do what they can to try to maintain order.

Hey, that reminds me! We haven't heard from our "Group Moderator" in quite a while!

He's in Bahia. Robert and "Group Moderator" own a "time share" there. :-)

In all fairness, this guy has been spamming this notice and link to his website all over usenet since the beginning of December.

Of course, if his story is true, then the police have not been doing their job, and it sounds like at least one of the officers is a real idiot. or is taking bribes from the neighbor.

I don't condone spamming, but if thats the way the canadian police handle situations as this guy describes, then people need to know about it, since they obviously are incompetent, and the situation needs to be fixed before somebody gets killed.

I looked at his web site without reading down this thread, so I fell for it. Spent all of 3 mintues trying to figure out the rant.

The web site home page is cryptic and the user is left to put the pieces together. Things are not laid out in a logical fashion (who, what, when, where up front) which makes me wonder about the author. I sense there is only half the story/rant here. And it isn't worth my time to read very much of it. Not my battle.

Good luck.

None of which has anything to do with this newsgroup. There are lots of newsgroups where his message would be welcome. Here it is not. Bill is right to chide him for spamming us. Olson only argued because Bill has also chided him for inappropriate posting.

Are you saying that a motion activated security light has nothing to do with this newsgroup?? Really??

I don't have a problem with it.

Ahhh... so *you're* the moderator now... :-)

Really?? Is this inappropriate as well??

The number of unanswered complaints isn't climbing, but the number of websites sure is...

Once again confirming Frank's poor social skills.

their job, and it sounds like at least one of the officers is a real idiot. or is taking bribes from the neighbor.

I'm "incorrigible" (but I do tell the truth). :-)

One out of two, better than usual for Frank and friends from ASA.

You just gotta back that statement with some solid proof there, bud. When have I *not* told the truth?? Or when have I not been incorrigible?? :-)

Oh please, take your bullshit elsewhere Frank.

Tsk!! I wasn't asking you. You just gotta "horn in" on every conversation don'tcha?? Do you listen on the extension when your wife's on the phone too?? Naahhh... being the Home Automation "genius" you are, you probably record them, compress them to a MP3, and listen to them on your "I-Pod" while you're out jogging. ;-)

This is hilarious coming from the guy who's famous for trying to gore Bob Bass in *every* message possible. Preach one thing, practice another.

I watched the Wizard of Oz with the younguns this weekend. I could easily see FO as the Wicked Witch of the West: "I'll have those precious ruby slippers of Bob Bass if it's the last thing I do! Fly my pretties!" Cue flying monkey music . . .

Oy! Poor FO just doesn't get it, does he? He's peeing in the community pool, pretending he's not standing in a bright yellow cloud of whiz.
