You listed voyeurism and RAPE. I'll take one less rapist on the streets thank you very much.
- malfist 5mo agoPeople who give up privacy for security will get neither.
- pbhjpbhj 5mo agoYou think we should just let sex offenders roam the streets without apprehending them? Or it's only OK if you spent a lot of money to apprehend them, rather than picking people from a camera feed?
- malfist 5mo agoI don't think I said either of those things.
- roenxi 5mo agoThe minimum standard for a "sex offence" in the UK seems to include [0] "Sharing or threatening to share intimate photograph or film" and "Sending etc photograph or film of genitals". Which (1) don't do either of those things. Ew. and (2) In a practical sense they can be pretty harmless. Maybe a fine or a strongly worded letter would be appropriate in more serious cases. So there isn't any problem, in the abstract, with some sex offenders wandering the streets.
