SURELY these cops can be totally trusted to not use this when they see an attractive woman they want to follow around, or a vulnerable minority they want to harass.
Article: Police are doing a better job, here's how.
Most of Lemmy: Nuh uh they're gonna use it to abolish the thirteenth amendment and stalk cute girls.
I'm begging you to shut the fuck up. Every whisper of cop news has some dipshit with a comment like this. We get it, you don't like police, go harass Facebook boomers about it.
Yes, because the police have never ever abused a power they've been given.
Yes, because even when police find and take opportunities to do their dangerous job safer than before, we should still have prepubescent dickheads find ways to remind us police bad. Who could ever grow tried of hearing "ACAB" at every mention of police?
I bet the cop who got in a squirtgun fight with some local kids put lemon juice in his gun. Typical.
It’s not bad to be skeptical considering their record. It’s responsible. Yes. It’s good that they are doing something to make things more safe. But yes it’s also good to continue to call attention to the ways this new tech can (and almost certainly will) be abused.
They dug their own hole of skepticism, not us.
I don’t really care if someone’s “tired of hearing ACAB” if people are still losing their lives unjustly to bad cops. Continuing to raise awareness in any little way is better then not being annoying.
Go ahead and be skeptical but there's a difference between being a skeptic and being bias. You're the latter.
It's almost like the police are a group with automatic immunity that have taken advantage of that fact time and time again. Specifically when it comes to killing people: regardless of the circumstances they're in.
Man oh man, I wonder why anyone would have a bias against such a group?
Man oh man it's almost like I refuse to acknowledge someone's opinion especially when they admit to having an inclination that inhibits impartial judgment stemming from prejudice.
Man oh man.
It's not impartial judgement if the entire system for policing is built upon immunity: which it is. There are only extremely rare cases where police are held accountable, and usually only after massive backlash.
Also there are biases in literally all opinions. No one is a perfectly logical human being. But whatever you have to say to make yourself feel superior.
Bro didn't even know what the fuck bias meant and admitted he had one. Maybe stop talking if you don't know what words mean.
Mf thinks they're clear of any and all biases while defending the police lmao. Have fun doing whatever the fuck lol
