i'm less than convinced.

prove it ... And I mean a proper warrant where probable cause is submitted to a judge, and not some fake blanket warrant rubber stamped.
I don't have to. Just because you subscribe to knuckleheaded conspiracy theories does not mean I have to. The article is quite clear about what the technology is used for. That is also not my point.
Thanks for playing.
Just another in the long list of reasons to leave your phone in the other room when you're having sex.
So the two points raised by your post are not the point of the post...
So, what was your point?
Next, what "conspiracy theory" are you talking about? I literally asked that it be shown that these are warrants made to a lawful standard... And all of a sudden that's a conspiracy theory if I get your point correctly (the point of the response). If I'm wrong, then, again, what's the point?!
I'm not sure what the point of this kind of comment is (and this isn't just targeted at you). What are you actually expecting to be done any differently to what is described in the OP's article?Yet another step to a surveillance state.
Read the article.
Read the article....
A former U.S. official told the paper that the FBI typically doesn't resort to hacking tools unless it involves organized crime, child pornography or counterterrorism. The agency also doesn't use hacking tools when investigating an actual hacker for fear that the suspect will make the technique public knowledge. The FBI rarely discloses its techniques publicly in legal cases, the paper said.
Court documents reportedly show that a federal warrant application in a Texas-based identity-theft case asked the court permission to use software to secretly take photos using a computer's camera and extract files. The judge denied the application, wanting to know exactly how the files would be extracted without exposing information on innocent people.
FBI can activate your android phone's microphone.The Wall Street Journal reports that based on court documents and interviews with people involved with federal agencies, law enforcement officials in the U.S. are resorting to tools typically used by hackers to gather information on suspects. Use of these tools under court order has grown as suspects look for new ways to communicate including various types of chat and encryption tools.
Sources said that the FBI has been developing its own hacking tools for more than a decade, but also purchases them from the private sector. One such tool allows the agency to remotely activate microphones on Android-based devices to record conversations. This same tool can also remotely access the microphone of a laptop to record conversations unknowing by the device owner. - FBI Can Activate Your Android Phone's Microphone

Big deal. I'd imagine this is old technology, actually. That should come as absolutely no surprise to anyone. We embrace advanced technology, we pay the price. There's no reason it shouldn't be able to do that same with TV sets. They have speakers. They connect to the internet. Or your computer, for the same reason. They can activate your computer's webcam...clone your phone...*shrug*
Funny, now when you read this one article in isolation, fine, you sound right... This article does not occur in a vacuum however, but don't worry I'll let you maintain your delusions here and just be on my way.

if you believe that then I got some beach front property and bridge to sell you.
The NSA spies on Americans without warrants, so does the DEA.Why on would you believe that the FBI which is ran by the same government is somehow getting warrants?If you have some proof they are not I would be glad to see it? Otherwise it is nothing but speculation based on nothing. There is no proof at all they have done anything wrong. They are not the NSA.
I am not trying to "sound right" I am saying I read one ****ing article and make no assumptions passed that because I don't really care all that much.
Hell an unknown hacker is far more dangerous than the government. The government is using the tech against organized crime etc. They don't give a **** about me or you.
So please stop turning everything into a conspiracy that's not there. It's one damn article.

So, you started a thread on a topic with an article that is not on a point that you don't want to discuss on a topic that you don't really care about.... And then you give this attitude when someone tries to discuss the point that you raised an didn't want to discuss, it takes me back to where we started... What is your point??
Democide (murder of citizens by their government) was the number 1 cause of death world wide in the past century.
The worst thing hackers ever did was steal some credit card numbers and spilling Dorito crumbs on their parents computers.
What conspiracy theory?!? You are seeing conspiracies where none exist... And getting angry about your imagined ideas... I'm no expert, but those are two signs.
No. I give attitude to someone who tries to put words in my mouth without even reading the article.
So the US is going around killing it's own people?
Don't make me laugh. Of course you think 9/11 was an inside job?
OK well I guess you never researched it then...

Hackers are becoming a bigger threat every day. With viruses and worm attacks taking down huge swaths of the internet etc. It is becoming a threat to national security.
Lets see... Conspiracy Theories 2,313 1/3rd of your posts.
Now lets see... Just in this thread you are worried about the the government mass slaughtering it's people. So yes you tend to drift off into the tinfoil hat zone sometimes.
