Okay then, show me the warrants that were issued to open/destroy gun safes w/o probable cause.

The system is working as designed and yet here you are crying about it while claiming I'm ignorant. The real fool is he who asserts that which is not so.

Thanks. What materially false statement was made by police to obtain the warrant that was then used deceptively against the safe maker?
I'm not sure if people genuinely believe someone is going to say, "Wow, if some people say I'm a moron for not believing this, it clearly must be true."

It's not much a persuasive argument. It really just sounds like a bunch of miniature dachshunds barking because the first one one barked when it thought it heard something.

So you just believe them?

Are you that gullible or are you a LEO?

Or you just don't enjoy your rights?

Or think others don'ts deserve their rights?

Or you only think certain people deserve their rights?

People like to crack me up.

So the government could just hire a locksmith as well.

Meaning they can get in these even if they didn't get the code


I am sure there are folks on this board that know this, but apparently not all.

Liberty will only give the "back door" instructions to a licensed locksmith. The locksmith has a responsibility to keep that information confidential. The consumer has no obligation. That is why the consumer has to call a locksmith.

The FBI has licensed locksmiths on their payroll. That is why they don't have to call one, they already have one. Even with that, they had to provide a legitimate warrant to get the information.

If you think the lack of "back door" instructions would have kept the FBI out, you aren't thinking clearly. If they want in, they will get in.

If there was no "back door" Liberty Safes would sell very few units, since if a consumer forgot the combination, it would become a very large and expensive paperweight.

What some people decide to get riled up about is fascinating.



Wait, so they will only give the access code - a code that is keyed in by any human with a finger - to a locksmith, but won't give it to an FBI agent with a warrant unless the FBI agent is a locksmith?

That's the dumbest thing I've ever read.

LOL.
You really believe the "back door" is a simple access code - a code that is keyed in by any human with a finger?

Talk about dumb things to read.



Hey there Mr Watermelon Man.

So Liberty now says they will expunge your "access codes" if you contact them. If what you say is true, and the backdoor is more than simple access codes that are entered into the pad in the safe, explain how this solves anything.

I'll hang up and listen to your wisdom.


Now, they were totally in the wrong for just volunteering the info on without an actual legal reason. And I don't think they should keep the original code either.


People lose their codes all the time. I do not agree at all. A safe has to be destroyed every time an owner forgets under your ideal.


Good security works like this. If you care about security, you won't ever forget your code or you will find ways to write it down and secure that.

In a secure system if you forget your code you should not be able to have access.

You've continued posting this morning so I know you saw my response. Still waiting for you to quote what specifically I said that was wrong, especially as it relates to Liberty's response and new policy.

TIA


You don't realize that you were arguing a giant strawman that it was necessary for Liberty to give these codes away or you were ok with kids getting sexually abused, and Liberty just showed that it actually was completely up to their discretion?

Except that I never argued they should give them away. I never took a position I asked a question genius. There's a distinct difference between asking a question to have a conversation about it vs taking a position and saying the company was justified.

So again, please quote me where I was wrong. You didn't quote me. You can't even quote me as saying I supported what they did.

You just didn't like my responses and are trying to call me out for something I didn't say.


Reading this thread all you've done is make yourself look foolish while calling other people names. It's like watching a 10 year old argue with adults.

If you're going to say I'm wrong about something I said, prove it. I have no problem admitting if I was wrong on something.

If you're going to call someone out, you should be able to back it up. I don't really feel like that's that controversial of an opinion.


Read the thread, bro. You came into this thread and created a strawman where if you believe in constitutional rights then you must be for child endangerment. From that post on, you repeatedly begged for someone to aNsWeR yOuR qUeStIoN while calling others names for laughing at your dumb strawman argument. It's really silly to watch.

You can call it a strawman if you want. I've said multiple times to not focus on the one scenario I randomly picked. It's been a hot topic this year. You can't get over that aspect though obviously as it's the only thing you and others go back to.

And like I said, if someone is going to call me out and I disagree with it, I'm going to call them out to show me the proof. They should be able to do that, but they can't.

I appreciate the last word though.

If you clicked the other posters link you'd know. He baselessly claimed they lied to be able to get into the safe.

Now you're misrepresenting what happened.

I get it. Today's ring wing virtue signal is against liberty safes. I'm not a leftist just because I called out some goobers on the internet. I'll say it again:

Everyone involved was acting reasonably until people started screaming about it on X.
I'm not sure if people genuinely believe someone is going to say, "Wow, if some people say I'm a moron for not believing this, it clearly must be true."

It's not much a persuasive argument. It really just sounds like a bunch of miniature dachshunds barking because the first one one barked when it thought it heard something.

How was Liberty acting reasonably?

I mean, if the owner of the safe had said, "Sure, give them the codes because I don't my safe and it's contents damaged." that would be one thing. But that's not what happened.

The FBI had the right to open the safe because of the warrant.

Liberty was under no obligation to provide the codes to the FBI unless directed to do so by court order. Liberty is no longer the owner of the safe. They should have refused when the request was made. Then the FBI could have procured a court order directing Liberty to provide the code.

Liberty Safe should have just said, "although we are not named in the warrant or have been issued a subpoena, we were blindsided by the FBI, so we decided to give them the safe code. Had we not complied, the FBI would've more than likely tried coming after us for some baseless claims against the company, which could've put every Liberty Safe customer in jeopardy of the FBI having their codes. So, in a haste we allowed this one sacrificial lamb to save the rest of the herd and have now updated our policies to protect the rest of our customers.
