- joshuamorton 6y agoI'm assigning no blame. I'm giving an example of the kind of behavior that ultimately was encouraged by ND.

- joshuamorton 6y agoBy offering this very low friction way of contacting the police, you end up enabling people to reach out to the police for minor inconveniences that they wouldn't otherwise have. There may be noble outcomes from this, but there are also clearly negative ones. Once again, I'm not claiming it was ever ND's intent to do this. Just that in practice the design of the system enabled and tacitly encouraged these behaviors.
