the naïveté on display here is mind boggling. let me guess - you think those ring camera networks are really just for finding lost dogs?

also, the article does not claim that it is all localized - it literally requires external GPS signals to recognize what speeds to allow.

is the argument that it’s not POSSIBLE to make it remote; or that we should trust US corporations/government to voluntarily create a non-remote system?

and we’re just supposed to trust that the US government would self-impose the same restrictions? please.

if the argument is “this will give tech companies the ability to shut down anyone’s car but it’s worth it to save lives” that would at least be logically consistent.

it actually is. feel free to quote any specifics if you claim they exist.

he linked to an article showing that the tech has been used in europe since 2022 and his stated argument is: see, the tech is already in use and hasn’t been abused.

so your argument is “europeans have had it for five years and haven’t abused it so we have nothing to worry about?”. not sold. Why, within the context of how the US has utilized surveillance technology in the name of fighting terrorism, should we believe that this huge opportunity would be ignored?

can you elaborate on “no it wouldn’t”?

They are pulling the stories as a way to repay him for the bribe that they paid him?

So tired of this “we must wait until it’s literally illegal to call it fascism before we call it fascism” GTFO with this.

Has there been a case in which someone is charged with impeding arrest but where the officer failed to identify themselves? (Curious how that plays in court)

…but what if they KNEW I wouldn’t do what they said so they actually told me to do what they DIDN’T want me to do…..

Any good resources to track what is being done with the homeless people being detained?

Who is tracking what is happening to the homeless people who are being swept up?
