A Minnesota judge recently signed a search warrant ordering Google, Inc. to hand over personal information on anyone who searched a specific name, a decision that could set an alarming precedent that would render the fourth amendment virtually ineffective with regard to online privacy.

According to the application for the warrant, filed by Detective David Lindland of the Edina Police Department, authorities are trying to locate an individual who used a fake passport to trick a credit union into transferring $28,000 out of an Edina man's account. Police say the passport image showed up in a Google search but was not available on Yahoo or Bing. The warrant does not mention whether or not they searched Ask.com, DuckDuckGo, Ixquick, or any other of the many search engines available to the public.

Big Brother: First 24-hour police drone units to launch in UK this summer

The first 24-hour police drone unit is to be launched, amid fears that forces may have to rely on them because of falling officer numbers.

The 'flying squad' will pursue suspects, find missing people and help solve murders. Assistant Chief Constable Steve Barry, national spokesman on drones, predicted forces across Britain would soon be using them as they are cheaper than helicopters and can perform some duties of bobbies on the beat.

But the move has prompted privacy concerns and warnings that the technology should 'never be an excuse to cut officers'.

Devon and Cornwall Police has advertised for a drone manager to lead its new dedicated unit, which will be launched in the summer and shared with Dorset.

Sussex and Surrey are considering whether to set up full-time units. For now, officers in other roles operate drones part-time.

In total 21 forces are experimenting with the technology, known as unmanned aerial vehicles, to carry out an array of duties - from everyday search missions to watching over the Duchess of Cambridge on a royal visit and pursuing a lynx that escaped from a zoo.

But there are concerns that the relatively cheap remote-controlled devices could lead to officers being cut in future.

A public service director was told her workers wanted her dead and would eat her liver after a gossip problem in a deeply dysfunctional Gatineau, Que., government office descended into threats, allegations of tyranny, and a teary meeting between senior executives.

Things got so bad in the Research and Policy directorate at what was formerly known as the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development in 2012 and 2013 that outside specialists in conflict resolution were brought in, according to a recent decision by the Public Service Labour Relations and Employment Board.

Are the Russians of Novorossia the most betrayed people in modern times?

With the possible exception of the Palestinian people, Russians are probably the most betrayed people in modern time. The "Russians" in a wider meaning are the people inhabiting Russia, Belarus, Novorossia, Malorossia, Transnistria, northern Kazakhstan and half of the Baltic region - this is the Russian World. They are artificially divided into Russians, Belorussians and something called "Ukrainians", but they are all essentially Russians. A person from the Urals is not "Uralian" and a person from Kamchatka is not "Kamchatkian", they are Russian. In the same way, a person from Belarus or from former Ukraine (except Galicia) is also Russian, whether they know it or not. This is a simple genetic and historical fact. During the Russian Empire (Tsarist times) and during the USSR (Soviet times), the people lived together in harmony, except for the westernmost parts of "Ukraine", where the people are not really Russians.

But all the way back, from the 1800's and forward, this people has been betrayed by many of its leaders.

Comment: See also: The falsification of history: "Ukraine" is not an independent country
When the USSR was broken up by internal treason and against the will of the vast majority of the people as shown by the 1991 referendum, the Americans could, by controlling their puppet, the alcoholic traitor Yeltsin, ensure that the genuine Russian parts of the Soviet Union, i.e., most of the Ukrainian SSR such as Novorossiya and Malorossiya, were left outside of Russia and not returned to the Russian Federation. This was of course done to weaken the new Russian state, and not out of any compassion for the new pseudo-state of "Ukraine". Now the main task of any Russian government must not be to arrange football world championships or build Disneyland's, but to liberate and return Russian lands such as Novorossiya and Malorossiya to Mother Russia. The best way to start is to help the Army of Novorossiya to liberate all the lands stretching from Kharkov to Odessa and east of the Dnepr.

Sit-com star Tim Allen: Life in Hollywood today akin to 1930s Nazi Germany

Tim Allen, most famous for playing the role of Tim "The Toolman" Taylor in the 1990s American sit-com "Home Improvement," made the comments in a recent appearance on the late-night talk show "Jimmy Kimmel Live."

"You gotta be real careful around here," Allen said. "You get beat up if you don't believe what everybody else believes."

Comment: As Robert Bridge aptly described in this article: "The [underlying] message from these social justice warriors is that Liberals love the idea of other individuals freely expressing their thoughts, but only if those thoughts support the basis of their own thoughts. I may be mistaken, but that sounds disturbingly close to the rationale behind Nazi book-burning events and other such historical smashups."

"My son fought for this country, not for Mexico": Court orders US Army vet who served 2 Afghanistan tours deported to Mexico

Miguel Perez Jr., of Chicago, Illinois, is a battle-scarred U.S. Army war veteran who proudly displays his patriotism in the tattoos he wears — a Statue of Liberty, a battle cross representing a fallen soldier, as well as the U.S. Army Special Forces insignia that reads "To liberate the oppressed." However, because this country is hell-bent on "sendin' them brown folk back where they came from," Perez will be thrown out like yesterday's trash.

A Chicago judge has ruled that Perez must be deported to Mexico in spite of his putting his life on the line for this country — not Mexico.

On Sunday morning, family and supporters gathered at Pilsen church in Chicago to voice their outrage over this insanity.

"My son fought for this country, not for Mexico," said Perez' mother Esperanza Medina.

Two small planes collided over a bustling shopping centre south of Montreal, killing one person and injuring three others, Quebec's public security minister Martin Coiteux said.

Police in the city of Longueuil, Quebec, said each plane only had a pilot on board and that both were injured in Friday's incident.

"One of the planes crashed on the roof of one of the stores and the other one on the asphalt of the parking lot," said Nancy Colagiacomo, a spokeswoman for the police force that serves Montreal's south shore.

A security perimeter has been set up near the shopping centre. Witnesses at the scene described hearing a loud bang.

Nheil Martinez, who works inside the mall, was outside smoking a cigarette when he says he saw the shadow of a plane and heard its motor. "I heard the motor so low to the ground and then a loud boom," he said. "Then we saw pieces of plane fall out of the sky everywhere."

A retired police chief who served in US law enforcement for nearly 30 years says he was detained at JFK airport because his name, Hassan Aden, had reportedly been used as an alias by a person on "some watch list."

After a joyful weekend celebrating his mother's 80th birthday in Paris, Aden "happily" boarded his return flight to the US on March 13, a country he has been a citizen of for more than four decades.

When it was his turn to speak to the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer, Aden says he was asked if he was traveling alone.

"I knew this was a sign of trouble, I answered 'yes,' then he said, 'Let's take a walk,'" he wrote on Facebook.

The fight for Mosul, Islamic State's capital in Iraq, is taking a heavy toll on the city's civilian population. RT recounts the horrifying stories of some of the victims.

While the US-led coalition claims it does everything possible to avoid "collateral damage" when conducting airstrikes on Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL), in reality, civilians wounded in their attacks are suffering just the same as those hurt by the shells and snipers of the jihadists.

Here are some of the stories that victims told RT's sister video agency, Ruptly, about the siege in Mosul.

Poll: Almost half of Canadians want illegal border crossers deported

Nearly half of Canadians want to deport people who are illegally crossing into Canada from the United States, and a similar number disapprove of how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is handling the influx, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Monday.

A significant minority, four out of 10 respondents, said the border crossers could make Canada "less safe," underlining the potential political risk for Trudeau's Liberal government.

The increasing flow of hundreds of asylum-seekers of African and Middle Eastern origin from the United States in recent months has become a contentious issue in Canada.

There has been broad bipartisan support for high levels of legal immigration for decades in Canada. But Trudeau has come under pressure over the flow of the illegal migrants. He is questioned about it every time he appears in parliament, from opponents on the left, who want more asylum-seekers to be allowed in, and critics on the right, who say the migrants pose a potential security risk.
