So maybe we should ban stock car racing? How did NASCAR begin? The big races are held along the East coast of the USA, why? Awhile back The government banned alcohol. Revenue Agents and police were tasked with stopping tho illegal importation of alcohol. To do the job they had access to the technology of stock cars. Rum runners, bootleggers, and criminals also had access to stock cars. But using the same tech, they were caught more often than they would have liked.So they had the financial incentive to improve handling, power, traction, ect.., stock cars to be better than the stock cars that the police had available. Investing in innovation costs money and somebody has to do it. I have no qualm driving my automobile that has tech invented by criminals, its not philosophical, it's technically better than a 1933 Packard, and modern cop cars are very capable now too. Any tech will be embraced by criminals first if it helps them do their dastardly deeds. And as a technology matures non-criminals may decide a better handling car might be safer to transport their family.
