SURELY these cops can be totally trusted to not use this when they see an attractive woman they want to follow around, or a vulnerable minority they want to harass.
Article: Police are doing a better job, here's how.
Most of Lemmy: Nuh uh they're gonna use it to abolish the thirteenth amendment and stalk cute girls.
I'm begging you to shut the fuck up. Every whisper of cop news has some dipshit with a comment like this. We get it, you don't like police, go harass Facebook boomers about it.
Yes, because the police have never ever abused a power they've been given.
Yes, because even when police find and take opportunities to do their dangerous job safer than before, we should still have prepubescent dickheads find ways to remind us police bad. Who could ever grow tried of hearing "ACAB" at every mention of police?
I bet the cop who got in a squirtgun fight with some local kids put lemon juice in his gun. Typical.
It’s not bad to be skeptical considering their record. It’s responsible. Yes. It’s good that they are doing something to make things more safe. But yes it’s also good to continue to call attention to the ways this new tech can (and almost certainly will) be abused.
They dug their own hole of skepticism, not us.
I don’t really care if someone’s “tired of hearing ACAB” if people are still losing their lives unjustly to bad cops. Continuing to raise awareness in any little way is better then not being annoying.
Go ahead and be skeptical but there's a difference between being a skeptic and being bias. You're the latter.
