Completely agree, cost would rapidly get out of control without warrantless surveillance and criminal activities would surge. In fact, why even use tech like this when everyone by law should just wear a device to broadcast their location, all their communications, etc. All the data collected should be admissible in court too.

- upofadown 10y agoParticular categories of criminal activities would surge. A strong argument can be made that the associated problems shouldn't be handled with law enforcement ... but that is not something law enforcement gets to decide, we do. In a sense we are being crummy bosses, we want our employees to do two mutually incompatible things at the same time. Our conflicted thoughts about things like recreational drugs trickle down into bad policy.
- hood_syntax 10y agoThe thoughts on recreational drugs are not conflicted (for the most part), they are separate thoughts from groups which are at odds with each other.
