Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

The phone tracing one is misleading. It might take hours for the police to get the location from the ISP (I doubt that), but the phone call doesn't have to be hours long.

Im wondering about the grenade one. You would have no teeth afterwards? does it take a special leverage tool to remove or a supreme amount of burlyness. its not easy for teeth to be pulled out.

It takes typing a single command to trace a call.

What takes time is getting the authorization to the person who has the password permission to issue that command.

Very few people at the phone company are allowed access to those commands.

Are they talking landlines? Because I'm pretty sure if Police already had contact with cell provider they could find where your phone was (within reason) by seeing which towers it is currently pinging off.

I think it's the total time including the warrant order
