Spain's Top Soccer League Fined For Using App To Spy On Fans In Fight To Curb Piracy
On Tuesday, Spain's premier soccer league, La Liga, was hit with a 250,000-euro fine — about $280,000 — for using its mobile phone app to spy on millions of fans as part of a ploy to catch venues showing unlicensed broadcasts of professional matches.
The country's data protection agency said the league's app, which was marketed as a tool to track game scores, schedules, player rankings and other news, was also systematically accessing phones' microphones and geolocation data to listen in on people's surroundings during matches. When it detected that users were in bars, the app would record audio — much like Shazam — to determine if a game was being illegally shown at the venue.

9. Man, 20, cops plea to lewd act with stuffed horse inside Walmart
A 20-year-old man was accused of committing a sex act with a stuffed toy horse while shopping at a Brooksville Walmart in 2015. Sean Johnson, of Lake Panasoffkee, acted suspiciously “by constantly looking around” after entering the store, loss prevention workers told Brooksville police. Workers saw Johnson remove the toy from a shelf and take it to the bedding department, police said. Then, when Johnson returned the toy to the shelf, it was, uh, “contaminated” and could not be sold. He was arrested.

A saying in Texas was that Houston was Texas with the lid off. Seems that it might be true to opine that Florida is the USA with the lid off.

A 13-year-old umpire at a children's baseball game where adults broke into a brawl said the violence began after he issued a warning following a man's use of profane language.
Teen umpire Josh Cordova told NBC affiliate KUSA in Denver that both coaches and fans of the two teams of 7-year-olds had been "chirping" — baseball lingo for badgering each other — throughout their game on Saturday in the suburb of Lakewood.
Cordova said that "when an old man dropped the f-bomb on the sidelines" he issued a formal warning to both fans and the teams from the Bear Creek Junior Sports Association to knock it off.
...Rather than heed the umpire's call for calm, the adults on both sides of the diamond started to argue over whether the offending fan should be removed from the grounds at Westgate Elementary School. The barking turned to fisticuffs with adults running on to the field and throwing punches.
"I issued it (the warning) to the entire field, and then everybody started yelling and screaming and it just got really chaotic, like, 'He should should be ejected, he should be out of there.' Coaches were pointing," Cordova recalled...
