You’re not the only person who thinks this. It’s just a tool, people who think police shouldn’t properly use a useful tool are morons.

- akira2501 4y agoI agree.. I think the length of the time the data is stored and who has access to it and whether that access is audited or not are the important factors to legislate on. If it can still be useful while protecting the rights of the citizens, then why should the police not use it? If it can't be useful with these protections in place, then why would the police spend money on it?
- kevingadd 4y agoThe problem here is the definition of "proper", and many people use a very broad definition of it where if a police officer is doing a thing it can't possibly be improper. This is often referred to as "qualified immunity"
- ok_dad 4y ago> people who think police shouldn’t properly use a useful tool are morons I agree, I think police should *properly* use their useful tools, but I don't trust them to use nearly any tool properly, so I would prefer they have a limited set of tools that still get the job done if they apply themselves but don't allow massive scales of mis-use. Unfortunately, cops are lazy and want to pick the lowest hanging fruit, like pulling over shitty looking cars and such.
- SantalBlush 4y agoThe unstated premise in this comment seems to be that the police will use tools properly. That's going to need a lot of justification.
