Hello Brianna,
Can you explain why you tried to get TheRalph kicked from the whole convention for simply taking a picture of you while doing a conference?
It would seem he really rustled your jimmies

I surreptitiously took few pictures, and decided to tweet one of them out. Now, Iâ(TM)m not a stupid man when not blind drunk, so I knew there was a chance someone would see this on Twitter. But, I did that shit anyway. Why? Well, I knew that they would look terrible for kicking me out over taking a picture of a panel speaker at a public convention. How big of a fucking baby do you have to be to kick out an adversary?
Note that the organizers asked people not to take photos. It was clearly stated, and in the events leading up to this they tweeted the rules to him twice during their conversation. It appears that's where he got the idea from, in fact.
His goal was to get kicked out by breaking the rules. That's why he "surreptitiously" took the photos, because he knew that the organizers had asked him not to. His scheme, which some people apparently fell for, was to make out he was the victim when he in fact went out of his way to be booted out.
It's their convention, they make the rules, he knew them and broke them deliberately.
The convention is public. The FCC has already made multiple rulings that whatever can enter your camera (since your eye is one) is permissible to be recorded. Your cover for Brianna makes zero sense in the face of regulative authority. It doesn't matter if he broke the rules, because the rule violates government regulations and is therefore unenforcable.
Same way you can decrypt police transmissions in your own home, front yard, or back yard. Same way you could re-t
To be absolutely clear, the convention place is not a public place. It is a private establishment, hired out to the conference organizers. The organizers can set whatever rules they like within their private conference hall, unless those limits are discriminatory.
"The organizers can set whatever rules they like within their private conference hall"
The FCC said fuck no to that as well. See the wifi jamming lawsuit against both public and private establishments.
FCC/government regulations take precedence. This is basic fucking contract law. What is in that contract may not supercede any regulation or law in place.
This idiot apparently doesn't understand 'No Violation of Public Policy,' which FCC regulations just happen to be considered 'Public Policy' as a legal matter of course.
The Supreme Court in fact made this very clear. They would not call me an idiot for understanding their ruling.
And the FCC has what to do with cameras? They might say you can't block the wireless signal used to copy pictures to the internet, but they have ZERO jurisdiction regarding the filming/photography itself.
And yeah, if the organizers were jamming they might have a leg in the game. That doesn't preclude the organizers kicking somebody out for a violating the rules. Not sure what kinda crack you're on but you might want to cut back a bit.
One way to make your old car run better is to look up the price of a new model.

No need, Ralph already explained it himself:
