Because the Democrat Party (tm) finally saw the writing on the wall and the biggest supporters told his crusty old ass that if he ran he would 100% guarantee a trump victory, and he ultimately withdrew at the 11th hour. The important part is: it did not stop him from TRYING.
Maybe you forget about the part where the party basically had to have a fake as fuck primary due to low confidence in him (normally it would just be assumed), and when he was finally convinced not to run they had to push Kamala in as a nominated candidate, ultimately doing an end run around the democratic process--nobody outside of super delegates voted for her in a primary. The Democrat Party (tm) does not embrace democracy.

Comment "Policing" Is Doing a Lof of Heavy Lifting Here (Score 4, Insightful) 57

"It is clear Flock has aspirations far beyond ALPRs to become a digital platform for policing," [emphasis mine]

They misspelled, "Orwellian suveillance and harrassment."

Law enforcement officers are already abusing Flock's existing capabilities for stalking. This will not improve matters one iota.

The technology that was highlighted in that movie originated around that time or a bit before. It goes by several names, but WAMI (wide area motion imagery) is kind of the generic term; it allows a forensic tech to rewind and track objects (people, vehicles) after an event. With AI and persistent vision, bottomless data center storage, it will allow everything / everyone to be tracked at all times. People don't know that this is already deployed over many large cities; essentially global hawk drones with high resolution hemispherical cameras constantly flying patterns, watching everything.

Just don't leave the country after you participate.

For that matter, you may suffer remote retaliation even if you stay home. I would leave this to the military or other government branch.

Also there is the question of legality, government operation or not. It sounds to me like vigilante justice. And countries who like their anti-American cybercriminals will certainly treat it as illegal. (Hence the advice not to leave the country.)

We certainly need a way to stop cybercrime, international or otherwise. But this doesn't strike me as a good way to go about it.

Finally a prediction: in the not too distant future, one or more offshoots from this will turn into unmanageable domestic criminal organizations.

Let's be real. They blew the school up because it was a school, and most likely a lot of the leadership / military families sent their girls there. And our leaders are evil bastards, working for evil bastards on behalf of other evil bastards. It's an exercise for the reader to determine the nature of those evil bastards.
