DMC keeping details

[stopmesuffering]

Some posters are worried about DMC keeping personal details - can I ask what the issue is here?

If he gets busted, and it's anything like the Kenneth Law arrest, everyone who's made an order will likely get a welfare check.

What about the other sources? BM, BO...

And what happens with a welfare check does anyone know?

I'm relatively new around here, and before this post, I hadn't seen anyone mention this concern -although it is absolutely a justified concern.

Does anyone know DMC's technical policies (e.g. keeps all data encrypted on Swiss severs, etc)?

I know that they use gmail, which is absolutely horryfing from a data security perspective!

They just check to see you're ok & in no distress. On the occasion you seem mentally unstable (confused or danger to self) they may take you to a psych unit for a psych assessment.
Bottom line is they ask if you're ok & if you say "yes I'm fine" then they leave. They have no right to search (in the US) or harass you in any way.

I don't mean to sound like a smartass, but what is really the concern with this? I placed an order about 2-3 weeks ago and received it yesterday. It was left in my mailbox with the rest of my mail. Even if they keep your info, aren't we buying this for a reason and it won't be an issue if they have your info after that? This is from a US perspective.

so even if they know it's sodium nitrite they can't do anything.

No offense, but that's an absurdly naive view in light of actual incidents, e.g.

• https://nationalpolice.org/main/the-peril-and-promise-of-well-being-checks/
  • According to a study published this year by the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, "Calls to police to check on the well-being of individuals were 74 percent more likely to be associated with fatal injury than police responses to an incident where shots had already been fired. This includes wellness checks that did not explicitly involve threats or harm before an encounter with police."
• https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/19/us/wellness-check-police-shootings-trnd/index.html
• https://www.llrmi.com/articles/legal_update/2011_11th_roberts/
  • "Recently [2011], the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals decided Roberts v. Spielman which illustrates an officer's authority to make warrantless entry to a residence when responding to a possible suicide call."
• https://policebrutalitycenter.org/what-is-a-welfare-check/
  • Provides 7 specific cases that caused the person -who's welfare was in question- either extreme harm, or more often, death
  • When there are law firms specializing in such cases - that means there are already way too many of such cases!

That said, death by cop, via supposed "welfare" check is kind of a last resort option for me to CTB. Cops in the US are so trigger happy, and being a veteran, if I act a little crazy and combative while holding something gun-shaped in my hand, I'm confident they'll be at least one of them who'll very happily shoot me to death.

if you fail and survive can they charge you? Like for getting freaky?

I'm not sure if you meant this to be humorous or not, but I read it as humorous, and appreciated that wee chuckle!

Did anyone use a credit card to pay and have an issue with it after?
