Yeah, it'll be way easier to get rid of once the program is established and there are people who's jobs depend on it.

- maxerickson 13y agoThis isn't a response to what I said. I didn't say I thought it was a good idea. I said that I don't think the people involved will stop until there is solid evidence that it won't work. Even then, who knows.
- thisiswrong 13y agoYour posts sound like Government sockpuppetry [1] [2]. > (...) until there is solid evidence that it won't work. Why should we need evidence that such an Orwellian program will work? Of course it will work. It will work - for those in power - against the people.

- maxerickson 13y agoYou must have strange ears. "the people involved" -> pro government city council members and police administrators. Those are the people with the purse strings, and money is what ultimately makes something like this happen. They will be looking at this as an opportunity to 'positively involve citizens' in security efforts, without paying any mind to the likelihood that they will get ~100% noise and ~0% actionable information. edit: swapped in 'likelihood' for 'fact'

- pmorici 13y agoI could see a good public protest of this would be for everyone to download the app take some video of something disgusting like a dog taking a dump and then sending that to the cops. Or use it to record police misbehavior and send in footage of that that would probably get it canned real fast.
