[AFMUG] 450i/450m DFS false detect problem solved in later firmware?

2020-07-11 Thread Forrest Christian (List Account)
I'm working with a customer that is having problems with DFS false hits who
is convinced this is a PacketFlux sync issue.   I'm never one to say it
definitively isn't my problem, but I'm skeptical in this case.

I know that at some point in the past that anything beyond 15.0.2 was known
to have fairly common DFS issues by some customers.   I thought this was
resolved in later releases, but I also don't see any mention of said issue
being resolved in any release notes post 15.0.02.

I was wondering if anyone knew the current status?  I.E. if they had been
seeing the problem previously, and then discovered it was fixed.  Or have
tried recent releases and discovered the problem still exists, etc...

Local truck stops frequently stock them.

Put the hook end in a vice and put a large box end wrench or a pipe 
wrench over the T handle and twist it 90 degrees.


Then, with the vice, open the hook up about maybe 30 degrees.  Not too 
much but more than it is stock.


Then take an angle or bench grinder and put a chisel point on it so 
you can whack it into the slot that is always full of dirt.

You might also grind the sides a bit to narrow them.

They are light and easy to throw in the trunk of a car or behind a 
pickup seat.  Cheap enough that everyone can have one.

And super easy to make if you should lose or break one.

Have not broke one yet.  The cheaper ones don't have the little leg 
sticking out the back.  Sometimes that leg is nice to push a lid back 
into place.

In the Atlanta case the suspect took a taser from the other officer.  
A taser that hadn’t been fired.  He turned and shot that taser at the 
office which prompted the office to shoot back.  You can see that in 
the video.


Not saying it was justified or not.  Just the fact that the suspect 
even though fleeing, turned and shot a weapon at the officer.


As for getting shot in the back, that’s easy if the suspect is 
running away and turns their torso a bit then extends their arm 
towards the officer giving chase. You can still have your back to the 
officer giving chase yet present a threat to that officer.


Note that this picture has the added benefit of daylight and is a

you can’t tell what kind of weapon the suspect has.  Is it real or 
fake?  Can’t really tell.

I think every situation is different. I also believe the police, in 
general, have been given more slack than they should for quite some 
time. The issue is how to deal with this. I do not envy cops. I have 
a nephew who is a cop, and I worry about him all the time.


One of the more recent cases was an individual who was resisting 
arrest. He grabbed, and fired a taser. As I understand it, most 
tasers are one-and-done. IOW, once the taser has been fired, the only 
"weapon" characteristics it has are as a thrown projectile. That 
individual was running away, and was shot in the back. Was that 
justified? I would have a hard time accepting that as a justified 
homicide. But that is only one example.

    A few years ago, a young man playing with a sword was stopped by

him.


    I presume the same justifications apply.

    I wonder how often someone with a weapon does harm after evading

    I wonder how other countries confront the same problem.

    If a human gets scared and runs due to uncontrolled fear, should

Varies by state.

In NY it's the other way around.  You can carry pepper spray for self 
defense, but typical bear spray exceeds the legal limit on capsaicin 
concentration.  This was slightly amusing when the NY DEC advised 
campers and hikers to carry bear spray in the North Country.  Apparently 
the forest rangers and other state agents CAN carry bear spray, but 
someone at the DEC was unaware that the rest of us plebeians aren't

 According to this, pepper spray is illegal, but bear spray is not. That 
 said, if you use it as a weapon, you are probably going to be charged.

 In the Atlanta case the suspect took a taser from the other officer.  
 A taser that hadn’t been fired. He turned and shot that taser at the 
 office which prompted the office to shoot back.  You can see that in 
 the video. 
 
 Not saying it was justified or not.  Just the fact that the suspect 
 even though fleeing, turned and shot a weapon at the officer. 
 
 As for getting shot in the back, that’s easy if the suspect is running 
 away and turns their torso a bit then extends their arm towards the 
 officer giving chase.  You can still have your back to the officer 
 giving chase yet present a threat to that officer. 
 
 Note that this picture has the added benefit of daylight and is a 
 training scenario so tensions wouldn’t be as high. Also note that you 
 can’t tell what kind of weapon the suspect has.  Is it real or fake? 
 Can’t really tell.
