Hey I know a cool idea. Let people with dash cams who record people speeding, not indicating to change lanes, run red lights etc be able to send a copy to the police

If you see someone has a dodgy brake light, the police can then order your car to be inspected and repaired lest your registration be cancelled!

Because hey... 0 deaths is the goal!!!

Are you guys cool with '0 fatalities' goal but just not cool on how to get there?

If you were tasked to get 0 fatalities on the road, what measures would you implement?

From the same fucktards that bring you "guns dont kill people, criminals kill peole" and "you shall no infringe on my ability to own or sell a gun to any criminal i want".

And

Relevant video from Beau of the Fifth Column talking about West Germany, the Stasi, and how it relates to this particular topic of being constantly surveilled. He's talking about the recent laws where regular citizens are being used to watch over their neighbors and sue them for going to an abortion clinic, but it's not hard to see how this relates to being under constant watch and the dangers that go along with welcoming that concept into your society.



Saw it.
Not disagreeing but I don't see the problem as the camera.  Its a camera, it doesn't care.  The problem, it seems, is that you, as a person, are afraid the state will make something you do illegal and use what was put in already to punish you for it.  That tells me you that you don't trust your government to not try this shit.  And if so, you should fix that first before you let them have any power.  ANY power. 

I'm serious.  If you can't trust your legal system and elected body to be without corruption or to trust your fellow man to not allow this shit to take place... Either America needs to be fixed, rebuilt, or abandoned. 

*Note* its already there in some states...
Gone.

You Americans sound like you have a real toxic relationship with authority. Pretty sad and ultimately destructive to your own society.
Our country was founded by revolutionaries.
Perhaps my experience with authority is much better. As much as our government sucks, it's more through sheer ineptness or because they operate on cronyism where they like to do their rich business partners a solid. Never because they are power tripping arseholes looking to stitch up random pleb
Everyone in your country is a goddamn criminal, therefore you have no problem with your leaders.

Your country was founded by a very mixed bag, but included a lot of religious fundies, who ostensibly fleeing persecution then proceed to hang Quakers, witches and all manner of heretics, there is also very good evidence (you for instance) that shows that the playing and even the watching of American football causes brain damage, so since its invention intelligence has been steadily dropping.

The witch burners came from your country, you fucking cu_t, and they were revolutionary, and it was legal to do so back then, prior to the American Revolution.

I cannot stand American football, you fucking cu_t.

I'm glad you're coming around. Don't confuse rules the government needs to abide by and rules corporations need to abide by though. Those are different. If people want to hand over all their private data to corporations, I don't necessarily have a problem with that as long as the government isn't given the authority to baselessly and needlessly also collect that data. I'd rather have people vote with their wallets on corporate issues like that. But that also means the government needs to do its job with laws that already exist to actually break up companies that are so big they become uncompetitive and too-big-to-fail.

I am curious as to how you reconcile the reality of AI bots maintaining active accounts on this forum with your supposed concern of government interference.

Monopolies only exist because of government regulation allowing them to exist.

You claim "vote with wallet," on the one hand, yet cannot even see your own other hand, because of your shortsightedness.

Seems like an odd thing for the repugs to push for. I thought that would have been more a loopy far left thing to want. Better vote Democrat I guess  >:D

Remember, all these stupid people in your government - were elected by you plebs. It might be time you guys stop being rusted on to one particular 'team' and critically analyze what it is you are going to get with your vote rather than just guarantee your team your forever vote no matter what they do

Have you seen the massive pushback in the gaming world when companies are trying to push that NFT shit? Massive blow back by the gamers and embarrassing the companies reputation that is forcing them to pull back and give up their bullshit NFT dreams.

If the repugs or the dems want to put up a candidate and that candidate says some stupid shit, you guys need to call it out and hound them. Not 'well that persons on my team so I have to go along with it'. This partisan BS is ripping your country apart and is giving free passes to not only morons who do a piss poor job but also arseholes (like whoever is pushing for cameras in schools). Objectively that's some fucked up idea - no matter the party behind it. But even so, red voters wont lambast the party for it. cant go against the 'team'. Dont want to appear to be a RINO or Never Trumper

You can be sure that if a democrat proposed the idea, red voters would be out in force. Tucker Carlson would devote an entire episode to whip up the outrage. But party members dont care when the opposing voters gets angry. They haven't lost any votes. They would however care if their own side was getting angry. If you dont want arseholes in your government, start getting angry at the stupid shit no matter the team. Dont let them think their vote is assured because of the colour they represent.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI%E2%80%93Apple_encryption_dispute
Quote
The most well-known instance of the latter category was a February 2016 court case in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) wanted Apple to create and electronically sign new software that would enable the FBI to unlock a work-issued iPhone 5C it recovered from one of the shooters who, in a December 2015 terrorist attack in San Bernardino, California, killed 14 people and injured 22. The two attackers later died in a shootout with police, having first destroyed their personal phones. The work phone was recovered intact but was locked with a four-digit password and was set to eliminate all its data after ten failed password attempts (a common anti-theft measure on smartphones). Apple declined to create the software, and a hearing was scheduled for March 22. However, a day before the hearing was supposed to happen, the government obtained a delay, saying it had found a third party able to assist in unlocking the iPhone. On March 28, the government announced that the FBI had unlocked the iPhone and withdrew its request. In March 2018, the Los Angeles Times reported that "the FBI eventually found that Farook's phone had information only about work and revealed nothing about the plot."[4]

In another case in Brooklyn, a magistrate judge ruled that the All Writs Act could not be used to compel Apple to unlock an iPhone. The government appealed the ruling, but then dropped the case on April 22, 2016, after it was given the correct passcode.[5]

Apple looks good because it supposedly cares about users privacy and the government 'somehow' got what it wanted. You have to wonder what went down behind the scenes.

It's a good thing we can pass legislation to stop that then. We should probably, as a society, do that. And then punish officials severely when they are caught violating that privacy. This is what we're supposed to be able to rely on our elected representatives to handle on our behalf, instead of watching them just consistently degrade our privacy without consequence. Democrats and Republicans are both selling out their constituents and we just keep putting them back in as if they will start acting differently.

We don't have to be OK with continuing to have our privacy eroded away. And we certainly shouldn't be championing additional erosion of our rights, making it even easier for legislators to take them away.

Interesting part of that Iowa bill where they want cameras in classrooms:
Quote
Under the bill, teachers, administrators and other school staff members who fail to keep the cameras active and in working order or who “obstruct” the camera’s views could be fined up to 5 percent of their weekly salary per infraction. The cameras would be bought with funds already allocated to school districts.
Let's also do that with police officers and their body cameras, eh?

Pretty much. But as we cant do that, what could you do to reduce the fatalities? 38680 people died in car accidents in 2020. That's 106ish every day. That's over 4 people dying per hour.

Every person that dies, costs the government a lot of money. Missed tax revenue mostly, less spending in the economy as the dead person is no longer shopping and broken families are no good for society either. So each death stings. The government has a vested interest in ensuring you survive. You are no good to them dead. Even worse for the government is if you come out of the accident crippled. Then you become a tax burden!

Suicide kills even more people. Maybe we should have cameras in every room of our homes and especially in our therapists' offices live-feeding to local authorities so the government can help reduce suicides too. That'll help 'em get all those drug dealers and manufacturers too! Imagine the Utopian future when we're all behaving like good little lemmings because we have cameras reporting on our activities every waking moment, and the "undesirables" can just be carted away for reeducation!
