Police Coffee Cost Calculator

What Is Your Coffee Addiction Costing You?cops coffee

So lets face it a lot of police officers drink coffee (we could also add the obligatory doughnut joke but the calculator doesn’t include that) Many drink a few per shift and some even hang out half the shift in the Dunkin Donuts parking lot.

I am a big fan of coffee, I usually like the small independent cafes with good coffee and I often grab something other than a regular coffee (read expensive lattes).  I started going to Starbucks about 15 years ago, I remember a few people in the station joking around because I was drinking the fancy schmancy coffee. Now I drive by Starbucks and see quite a few officers inside….

Anyway that’s all besides the point, below we have a calculator from USA Today that tells you how much your habit is costing you. The price listed seems pretty fair for most people. Even though it is “Starbucks” prices in the calculation quite a few other places are not that far off that price for a medium coffee.

Supreme Court Will Rule If Police Can Search Cell Phone After Arrest

The Supreme Court announced today that they will review two appeals of criminal cases involving persons convicted of crimes based on evidence found on their cell phone after they had been arrested.

As of now each state has different (or no) rules about the cell phone search of arrested individual. For example I live in Massachusetts where police officers or detectives must obtain a search warrant to view the contents of an individuals phone. If you want to view the map of where you live or other states, you can check out this map from Forbes

Cell Phone Supreme CourtIn Florida this year the Florida State Supreme court ruled that police needed search warrants to explore the content of the phones.  Appeals courts in Florida had ruled that warrants were not needed based on other US Supreme Court rulings, saying “The (U.S.) Supreme Court has clearly and repeatedly found that anything found on an arrestee or within an arrestees immediate control may be searched and inspected upon arrest,” the appeals court said. There’s no reason to except cell phones, the 1st DCA said.

But Justice Lewis, writing for Florida’s Supreme Court’s majority, said a cigarette pack containing drugs that was the focus of the Robinson case was very different from a modern smart phone.

“That case clearly did not involve the search of a modern electronic device and the extensive information and data held in a cell phone,” Lewis wrote. “When Robinson was decided, hand-held portable electronic devices in the form of cell phones containing information and data were not in common and broad use.  Further, in recent years, the capabilities of these small electronic devices have expanded to the extent that most types are now interactive, computer-like devices,” Lewis continued. “Vast amounts of private, personal information can be stored and accessed in or through these small electronic devices

As GigaOm writer Jeff John Roberts pointed out “The cases also reflect how quickly phone technology is evolving, and its implications for privacy. In one case, the evidence at issue is a call log that a cop obtained from a simple flip phone. The other case involves photos and videos taken from a smartphone that were used to establish that the phone owner was a gang member; the cop in the case also found evidence that every entry in the contact list that started with “the letter K were proceeded by the letter “C,” which gang members use to signify “Crip Killer.”

I am sure many police chiefs and officers prefer to have the Supreme Court make this ruling and avoid future confusion.  Since many states have yet to rule on cell phones warrants, and as technology continues to become more entwined with our personal lives, it seems as though this and other technology cases will continue to make their way to the country’s top court for clarification.

The cases are due before the court in April.

Google Glass Police Program

Partner agencies can now borrow a pair of Google Glass 2nd (generation) from WiredBlue

In keeping with our mission of furthering police and technology research and development we are proud to offer our customers with the chance to test and use Google Glass at no expense.

Google Glass Police Law EnforcementThere is much hype around glass, and even an article or two already about police using glass. The truth is though that most people have still never seen a pair and there are maybe only a few pairs that police have actually been able to get their hands on. We think it is important for police to get their hands on Google Glass for a few reasons.

  1. To test if wearable technology like Glass, is a good future option to wear while on duty or for training purposes.
  2. Can Glass be worn on duty, safety issues.  Think not only driving but also training with firearms.  You would most likely need to qualify with your weapon while wearing Glass.
  3. Form opinions on the safety of the public wearing Google Glass while driving, etc.
  4. Develop ideas for possible apps for Google Glass in law enforcement.

As previously stated, our second generation Google Glass is available now for our partner agencies and customers to borrow for a period of time to test.  One agency already is testing them out.  Due to high demand that we are expecting the loan time will be between 7 – 14 days.  Which is plenty of time to test them out.

Interested customers should use the new WiredBlue customer support portal to send us your request.  You will need to provide a few details and also agree to give us some feedback on your experience with Google glass.  (if you need portal access email us)

We think wearable technology like Google Glass has some sort of future for the public and for police and law enforcement.  Like many things though we believe it warrants some examination and a balanced view of the positives and negatives of these sorts of technology.
