Date: 2021-12-20

Joe, Malt, Steve and James discuss what's up with the Pirate Party and the latest news of interest to Pirates. We will definitely talk about the Boston Police department using civil asset forfeiture money (legalized theft) to secretly purchase a Stingray mobile phone spoofing spy tool (https://www.wbur.org/news/2021/12/17/massachusetts-cell-site-simulator-civil-forfeitures). We also discussed the passing of the Boston Surveillance Ordinance (https://warrantless.org/2021/10/secret-surveillance-outlawed-in-boston/) and a U.S. judge tossing $4.5 bln deal shielding Sacklers from opioid lawsuits (https://www.reuters.com/business/judge-tosses-deal-shielding-purdues-sackler-family-opioid-claims-2021-12-17/).

We will take a break next week. See on January 2nd!
