THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE 4TH AMENDMENT IS ALL ABOUT!

Fourth Amendment
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

unless nature flicks us off like the fleas that we are, i’m pretty sure the planet is gonna sprint past that finish line.

humans avoid discomfort at all costs. and that, i fear, is what is driving climate change denialism. acknowledging that burning fossils heats our world would mean giving up the F150, air conditioning, flying, consumerism, AI data centers, filthy eating habits and so much more. it is easier for folks to delude themselves and agree with the dotards that make decisions to continue the course. why give up what life has to offer when you only live once? besides, you can always blame biden.

and all politicians lie as much as Trump. Most of them at leas try to be subtle, where he doesn't.

no, not all lie as much as that. think back to all of the “day one” promises. is gas down to $2? is inflation lower? are your taxes lower? no new wars?

or were you told those things are no longer important after the election? ah. that’s it.

and you say we have TDS.

Stop being ridiculous. 99.999+% of the time, if a person complies with the officers (like pulling over immediately and following instructions), the interaction will be reasonable. I am NOT saying non-compliance should result in death, but when people choose to do stupid s*** then bad things are much, much more likely to occur.

i disagree. i’ve seen unreasonable stops with my own eyes. there are more “bad apples” than you think and there is no time for their victims to react. cops are lazy and will take a flock flag as gospel rather than do due diligence, as evidenced TWICE in the story. also, getting pulled over with guns drawn is NOT reasonable. but i doubt you will care until it happens to you.

how, exactly, is spending over a billion dollars to halt a renewable energy project (literally free electricity after the project is paid up minus a little bit of maintenance) Making America Great Again? are you really concerned about the birds? really? what is the reason? do you even have one? or is this just “follow the leader” ? this is a legitimate question. i really want to know.

make no mistake, this technology will be deployed against ALL offenders, not just “the worst.” and that will lead to false positives, which innocents will be left to sort out when inevitable mis-identification is made.

at the very least, to avoid misunderstandings, users of this technology should post bonds payable to people that are falsely accused and accosted by law enforcement.
