In the latest episode of Scam Dan Nation, host Lillian Cauldwell explores the necessary defenses one should have against scammers, whether encountered through phone, text, video, or chat. She probes the question of why we let strangers bypass our common sense and street smarts, compelling us to hand over personal and financial details to people we've just met or never heard of before. She questions our naivety in trusting that strangers have our best interests at heart and examines what makes us vulnerable to such invasions of our privacy, leading to the loss of our hard-earned money. The discussion acknowledges that while older individuals are common targets, professionals are not exempt from these scams. Cauldwell challenges the notion that we might be living in a modern 'wild west', where instead of facing physical threats, we are seduced by flattering words into relinquishing personal and business information. She seeks to explain how we are inadvertently aiding in the breakdown of our own defenses. -- Try it! You've love it! Want to create live streams like this?

It's unfortunate we live in a time where events like this are more of a norm than an exception. Its so sad. We live in such a broken world with evil all around. I pray that evil stays out of our schools. Many of our customers are implementing metal/gun detectors at the main doors but at a average school there are plenty of other doors that you can get in and get out. One of the things Verkada does to help with keeping doors secure is by providing per door controls, alerts and visibility into what is going on. We can set up alerts for things like tailgating, door held open, door forced open and can tie context of who went in and out for every door at your campus. If you to learn more, connect with us or get with your security integrator and tell them you want to check out Verkada.

https://lnkd.in/eGpqBnMY Watch this and ask yourself: 1. Why is this scandal not covered more in the media? 2. Think about a closely guarded aspect of your private life and imagine it being reported in a national newspaper for entertainment and commercial gain. How would you feel? what would you do?

Gold Star Dad arrested at SOTU speech - are you kidding me? Here is the article: https://lnkd.in/gDuS5Mek and a description of the charges from the D.C. Metropolitan Police Academy handbook: Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding - § 22-1307(a) It is unlawful for a person, alone or in concert with others, to crowd, obstruct, or incommode and continue or resume doing so “after being instructed by a law enforcement officer to cease:” o “The use of any street, avenue, alley, road, highway, or sidewalk” o or “The entrance of any public or private building or enclosure” o or “The use of or passage through any public building or public conveyance” o or “The passage through or within any park or reservation” For example: You are patrolling 10-99 during the evening shift when the dispatcher raises you. “2081, respond to 1517 Connecticut Ave NW for a disorderly. The complainant states that a group of white males is blocking the entrance to the establishment.” You acknowledge the assignment and shortly thereafter arrive on scene. Upon your arrival, you see four white males standing directly in front of the entrance to the location such that other people who wish to gain entry are unable to do so. None of the males move from the entrance when a person makes an effort to go into the location. The group of four is effectively blocking passage and preventing the movement of others. Prior to issuing a 61-D Field Arrest Citation or making a custodial arrest, those who are breaking the law in this fashion must be informed that their behavior is unlawful and they cannot continue their actions or they will face citation or arrest. You must then give the individuals a reasonable amount of time to move on or cease the illegal activity. This means that you cannot merely approach a person who is blocking passage, inform him or her that he or she has violated the law, and immediately make a custodial arrest or issue a Field Arrest Citation. A warning to cease the illegal blocking behavior must be given first. If after a reasonable amount of time the person does not cease the behavior or if he or she leaves at your direction only to return shortly thereafter and resumes the illegal behavior, you may then issue a 61-D or make a custodial arrest for Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding. Crowding, Obstructing, or Incommoding is a misdemeanor punishable by ninety (90) days in jail and/or a $500 fine.

This news nearly had me in tears (the good kind). The Onion is buying Infowars – yes, you read that right. In a twist that’s part satire, part poetic justice, the satirical giant is teaming up with Sandy Hook families to take over the infamous conspiracy site. The best part? Everytown for Gun Safety is now the exclusive advertiser, turning a platform once fueled by fear and misinformation into one dedicated to public safety and gun-violence awareness. Talk about flipping the script. Infowars may be shutting down, but the battle against misinformation is still alive and kicking. Plenty of platforms like it will crop up tomorrow, and the need for credible information has never been more urgent. Let's all play a part: we won’t let this slip quietly into the night; we'll keep shining the spotlight on truth. Bravo to everyone involved in making this happen! #TruthWins #MediaJustice #Infowars #TheOnion #PublicSafety #SandyHook #Misinformation

We're utterly shocked and saddened to learn that a former schoolmate of a team member was recently arrested on alleged s**ual assault, exploitation and interference charges, which are in addition to earlier alleged child p****graphy possession and distribution charges.The accused is a quiet, soft-spoken, friendly individual—not someone you'd suspect would commit these crimes.  Sometimes, the people who engage in such horrible acts are not who we expect. But really, there is no "type" for exploiters—they can come from any background or walk of life. Instead of trying to identify a specific type, it's more important to be aware of red flag behaviors, such as asking you to keep secrets, crossing boundaries, or pushing your comfort zone. Always trust your instincts and be aware of warning signs.

For those of you who haven't yet realized how badly you need to be at the Creatures, Crimes & Creativity Con, here is the last newsletter for this year's event. https://lnkd.in/eJenzFJb

Today, I had the privilege of speaking on BBC Radio Scotland about a deeply concerning issue: sextortion. As a mother of four teenagers, a psychotherapist, and a doctoral researcher in psychology + immersive technology, this topic is incredibly important. Sextortion is a cruel form of cybercrime where perpetrators blackmail victims, often boys aged 13-17, using private or explicit content. Understanding how this crime operates can help us protect our children and ourselves. These criminals usually initiate contact through social media or gaming platforms, posing as friendly or attractive peers. They build trust through friendly conversations, then request explicit photos or videos. Once they have this content, they threaten to share it unless the victim complies with their demands. It's crucial to be aware of the signs: unexpected friend requests, pressure to share personal information, and manipulative behavior. If someone seems too eager to establish a relationship, or offers money or gifts, or starts asking for explicit content, it’s a red flag. 🔺 Unfortunately, in the current state of technology the onus is on the child to protect themselves. To keep our loved ones safe, we need to adjust our privacy settings on social media, educate ourselves and our children about these risks, and report any suspicious behavior. If anyone becomes a victim, it's important to seek support and not face this alone. Awareness and vigilance are our best defenses. Stay informed and protect our our children and our communities together. Stay safe, and take care. #SextortionAwareness #DigitalSafety Begins approximately 1hr 45
