Comment Re:Expesnive controller (Score 1) 80

The controller is separate and is $80????

Yes, controllers generally cost $80 now. They used to cost $50, but there's this thing called inflation.

That was my immediate reaction too. $80 now would have been about $35 in the early 1990s, which is probably pretty close to what good third-party controllers cost back then.

Even the best, most upright cop should never be taken at their word - there should always be some form of oversight. Because they're humans.

Couple of options:

1) The data should be controlled and accessed by the courts instead of the police. The police can submit a query to the court, effectively making it the same as a warrant application.

2) All data queries require an identifier/password/key that is included with a warrant issued by a court. Any query that doesn't include a valid identifier results in immediate dismissal of the officer. Probably easier to implement than 1, though maybe not as effective.

TBH I can't even think of a "reality TV star type" who is clearly associated with Democratic or liberal or left wing politics at the moment. At most you have a few celebrities who'll give their support to a candidate, but who don't generally discuss politics outside of that.

I think the closest the Democrats have would be comedians like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert (generally similar to Al Franken, as you mentioned).
