Should the police looked closer, sure, but I can also see why the made the error because the 34 DTM is in much larger font size.

Isn't the whole point of having human beings in the loop that they can deal with limited information and still draw correct conclusions?

If your entire behaviour is guided by that license plate number then your focus should be on getting your facts straight. Sure, confirmation bias is a thing, but especially police officers should be trained to beware of confirmation bias and so check and recheck before engaging in a stop that could endanger people.

I assume you're one of those people who buys products - a consumer. In that case you're likely handing a significant part of your income over to that country.

Apparently it's OK to buy Chinese products (or Saudi, or ...), or to watch the Olympics or F1 or whatever in one of those countries. But when scientists in the US are no longer able to publish in peer reviewed journals if they receive Federal grants (yh, that's actually true), and they opt out and go work somewhere else, they're somehow evil?

It's not scientists and the left who have created a situation where human rights are flushed down the drain. As long as the fascists are winning ground world wide, all we can do is try and change the situation with our votes and our voices. Don't blame us for other people's mistakes, we're in the minority.

What's wrong with how it is now? You want to know the owner, get a warrant.

What problem needs fixing here? My parents were scammed, and the prosecutor knows who did it but they declined to prosecute due to "policy priorities". If scams aren't a priority then how will changing the law fix anything?

I run a website. It is not politically active or controversial in any way, but I don't want my name, phone and address details out there in the public domain simply because I publish information online.

I live in Europe and we have laws about this... Once I make a bank/debit card payment to register the domain I am traceable by the police if they have a warrant. Why would my name need to be out in public just because bad people register fake names?
