- jacobwilliamroy 5y agoI had a dream a few months ago where I was standing in front of a computer. I typed in my name and got back a stream of video which showed every single moment of my life from multiple angles starting from the moment I was born. The footage came from a variety of sources, CCTV, smartphone cameras, dashcams. The system had videos of everything anyone had ever done. I didn't like it. Found it kind of disturbing.
- wizzwizz4 5y agoFortunately, we can stop that from being a reality.
- matz1 5y agoThen basically you says its boil down to matter of subjective preference. So you don't like it, fine fair enough then don't be surprised that other people may like it.
- jacobwilliamroy 5y agoI don't say that? You just have to think about how this stuff is going to be used in the real world where we actually live. The thing which is objectively disturbing is how easy it is to lose control of one's life once the government is able to record, observe and judge every single thing a person does. I believe such a level of transparency is only beneficial when it's applied to people who hold power over others; to subject everyone in a society to that kind of scrutiny would just be laying the foundations for abuse.
- matz1 5y agoThe government simply record, observe and judge every single thing a person does is not problem, in fact it can be used for my benefit. The problem is when they use it to harm me. What need to be fixed is The government record, observe and judge every single thing a person does to harm people. >to subject everyone in a society to that kind of scrutiny would just be laying the foundations for abuse It can be used for abuse but not always, It can also be used for good, what need to be prevented is the use for abuse.
- lewdev 5y agoI don't think that's the problem. The problem is that the justice system believes that it's enough to convict someone of a crime.
- SamoyedFurFluff 5y agoEven just arresting them or bringing them in for assessment is enough to put someone in a dangerous position, because cops can effectively legally execute people. So the problem is any police interaction is potentially deadly and this is giving cops another arbitrary, potentially racist tool to interact with people who are just living their lives.
- hik 5y agoLet me ask you a question: How many unarmed people were killed by police in 2020?
- bozzcl 5y agohttps://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/investigations/police-shootings-database/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/investigations/polic... According to this, 405, which is 405 too many.
- ALittleLight 5y agoI only see 50 there. Are you sure you're looking at unarmed 2020 and not for all years? I also just looked at a few unarmed shootings at random to get an idea of what they were like. Of the three I looked up I saw one guy who was shot while fighting with a police officer after being discovered at the scene of a burglary. One guy who was shot after a car chase when, after they had caught him, he got behind the wheel of a police car and the police shot him to prevent another chase. One guy, after stabbing someone to death and being approached by multiple police officers, faked a draw to "suicide by cop". My point is, I don't think it's even clear that all (or even most) of the 50 unarmed shootings are unjustified.
