Remember, we have a supreme court that recently decided sniffer dogs are acceptable grounds for searches, despite them being worse than a coin flip.
Our court system doesn't care about "fair." It cares about punishing.
- 8note 4y agoIt's likely that there's no law saying that the tools for "acceptable grounds for search" have to on average increase the probability of finding something The courts are doing they're job wrt the law
- claytongulick 4y ago@dang I'm not sure what the correct approach is to ask about this - my comment on this thread was flagged. I believe flagging it was inappropriate, as there wasn't any rule violation, just perhaps an opinion that is unpopular (support for law enforcement officers). I don't mind being downvoted for comments that are unpopular, but I think inappropriate flagging is harmful. What redress is there?
- nsajko 4y agoI'm guessing users flagged your comment, not mods. The redress is for other users to "vouch" for your comment, as I have done right now. For contacting Dang, see the "Contact" link at the bottom of the front page.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoIf dogs are on average worse than a coin flip, than just stopping people randomly (with a coin/dice) would be more honest, fair, and cheaper.
