this sounds like big brothers + homeless people. while the intention might be noble I don’t see it working. and i have to wonder how else are we going to try to tackle this issue next. maybe microchip all the homeless and detect them wirelessly so we can build a real time map? /s you know what? let’s do that for all people.
- m_b 8y agoIt’s amazing what can come out techies brains.
- ehnto 8y agoI can see why it would be helpful to be able to find someone with a history of mental illness, who is likely avoiding help. But I agree that it crosses into very murky territory, and the avenues of abuse are many. Couple of quick meetings, maybe some legislation, and suddenly the police and councils have access to a GPS map of homeless individuals. Then they can deploy security and anti-loitering measures wherever a few too many show up.
