Comment Re:Why can't this be the law everywhere? (Score 1) 271

"Allegations of police misconduct and widespread false arrests could not be verified by reporters because arrest records in cases where charges are ultimately dropped were made private in 2015."

The real answer is to make the original records easily viewable on an official government web site, but mandate that "CHARGES DROPPED" or "NOT GUILTY" or some other exculpatory language clearly appear whenever they are viewed.

Also helpful: fewer laws and fewer police. Every action and inaction doesn't need to be regulated and policed by petty government officials. Save the policing for theft and violence and let us otherwise live our lives as we choose.

What if we could all agree not to covet or (use the government to) steal money from each other? If we could collectively decide not to hire a politician to tax someone else's money or a lawyer to sue for someone else's money so we could spend it without earning it, then it wouldn't matter which group a person was in.
