If a machine catches you doing something you weren't supposed to do, it doesn't seem like snitching. Are red light cameras snitches?

- Spivak 1y agoYes, what do you think snitching is? There's an automated security company called tattletale. That's what they do. The fact that there's so many social norms about not snitching is a beautiful illustration of how disconnected the rules we live under are disconnected from our own interests.
- brewdad 1y agoIsn’t that so much of why our legal system exists. You want to get to work a few minutes faster, so push through a light as it’s turning red. Another driver doesn’t expect that and the collision causes delays for hundreds of other people at best or injury or death to you or the other driver.
- IncreasePosts 1y ago"snitches get stitches" - yes, I guess it is in my interest to not be attacked by a psycho because I told the police what the psycho did, but I wouldn't really call that norm related to my interests as a potential snticher, more like a norm meant to protect people who would be snitched on.

- tbrownaw 1y agoI thought they tended to be by private corporations with government contracts.
