It shouldn't even be a question, seriously? This cop[1] tells a lady not to stand between the vehicles because she will get killed if his patrol car gets hit, and seconds later it happens and he says "just like that". >thi

Humans should never do it, but I'd be surprised if it happened less than once a week.

Its probably fair to say that tech was less abused in that era, not that people were less paranoid about it. Your run of the mill telemetry would have been considered spyware (a term that's nearly dead) back in the day.

The 9th and 10th amendments to the US constitution limits the US government only to the powers explicitly enumerated in article 1 section 8. But in the real world, unfortunately, you are absolutely correct. Even the idea that there are only

>though there have been some rulings where they didn't need to pay because stealing a car like this wasn't technically stealing under the insurance policy. Link? This seems so wild.

For a dumb TV to computer a projector is the way to go. I haven't darkened everything much so it doesn't work great in the daytime, but I tell myself that's a feature not a bug.

Unmuffled motorcycles at night break at least half a dozen laws at every level from local to federal. Masks were also mandated in most of the US. Not the greatest examples.

I'm sure that most criminals know to either turn phones off or leave them behind, and if they don't they surely will if this kind if thing becomes more widespread. This seems like a system designed to ensnare innocents.

OP said: "I also think it shows that licenses really don't matter all that much as some people think". I doubt they would be unable to sleep at night because of a license violation.

The schools I went to were more propaganda than education, I don't regret dropping out to learn on the job one bit.

That's a fairly popular conspiracy theory with no basis in reality.

Who redacted this in the first place, and how would it have been sealed? Much of it is clearly redacted for PR reasons, and I don't really understand how there could be any excuse for keeping it hidden.

Although I can't prove it, I suspect there wouldn't be a lot of kids that would stop making games on roblox for an enjoyable day in the coal mine with their friends.

And other people think you should have to present proof of vaccination to go outside but no ID vote. Neither group is thinking past the propaganda their side presents.

I assume they will require an account of some sort, and their DB will inevitably be breached to leak it who knows where. It knows more about me than my location. Probably. I don't know what all the proprietary software running on my po

This has been the conclusion I've been dragged kicking and screaming to over the last couple of years myself. - If it's not FOSS it's spyware - If it's got a camera it's probably going to a datacenter to run facial

Understandable, hiding behind a left-to-right merge where you have to choose between getting hit by the truck that's tailgating you or speeding for a few seconds is far more important police work.

This perfectly illustrates the problem: the content being scanned for can change arbitrarily and on a whim. Gun, meet foot.
