Ha. Someone does a thing and the state moves in to regulate. Same as it ever was, apparently.
Item registration… not used to prevent crime, just to make it easier to document after it happens.
- justinclift 9mo ago> not used to prevent crime Wouldn't "registration" as used in the article mean the purchase details were sent to the authorities, so they could investigate/stop a potential escape attempt?
- SV_BubbleTime 9mo agoRegistration always precedes confiscation. Even if the devices were registered, you might be up and away before they figure it out. But if another family flew away, that registration list would be handy door to door.
- layer8 9mo agoThe registration serves as a deterrent, and therefore does reduce crime. It wouldn’t have been practical to outright prohibit propane gas.
