MetaFilter: Help the police
february 2009 by Urbanscale
"Republican politicians on Thursday called for a sweeping new federal law that would require all Internet providers and operators of millions of Wi-Fi access points, even hotels, local coffee shops, and home users, to keep records about users for two years to aid police investigations." Not even sure this could be implemented, let alone enforced; either way, awful precedent.
