"Minor" cases, indeed.

Illinois does it right. No bail. Either you are released pending trial, or you see a judge where you may be held pending trial.

New York State has bail. Why this guy was released without even having to post bail is beyond me.

Todaro was released on his own recognizance. He is expected back in court in May.

This isn’t that. This isn’t “let us collect data on you so we can aggregate it and monetize it, it’s buried in the EULA.”

This is state-sponsored actual malware being used to identify, target, track specific individuals.

**... some shipments were incorrectly labeled as coming from the remote islands instead of their correct countries of origin. **

I even put it in bold.

tl;dr: They're claiming that it was to "prevent countries with tariffs from shipping through there to avoid tariffs."

The United States alleged the islands exported more goods to the United States than they imported, an allegation that appeared to be calculated from incorrect trade data. An analysis of U.S. import data and shipping records by The Guardian indicated some shipments were incorrectly labeled as coming from the remote islands instead of their correct countries of origin. According to export data from the World Bank, the US imported US$1.4m (A$2.23m) of products from Heard Island and McDonald Islands in 2022, nearly all of which was "machinery and electrical" imports.[39]
