> Technically police were started as a way to crack down on unions We've had Sheriff's since before the constitution was in existence. > Honestly I'd feel safer with Terminator style AI police (with proper guardrails), Really? Are you genuinely measuring risk here and comparing the number of bad or problematic arrests with the number of good ones? Is the mechanism you're using here correctly attributing counts to both cases? > If you want a real deterrent figure out why they are committing crimes i.e lack of quality education, food, feeling of safety while growing up, mental health, and address those issues. "Good people" commit crimes too. To the extent that the only known common threads among criminals are: Means, Motive and Opportunity. To view crime primarily as the result of misunderstood "Aladdin's" merely trying to bread on the table is not borne out by any apprehendable facts. > Imagine if every kid in America from poor neighborhood had the opportunity to go to fancy private boarding schools with rowing teams, etc.. So, we're just going to pretend white collar crime doesn't exist or is somehow less damaging overall to society? What kind of school did Bernie Maddoff go to? > I'm hoping we can automate every damn job just so even middle class and upper middle class will need ubi of some sort to keep capitalism going. I doubt social slavery is the way out of this.
