Hey, maybe we shouldn't build out this infrastructure so aggressively?

It's worth mentioning that the ALPR's in the Florida keys are unavoidable due to it basically being 1 road.

> the cop illegally looked up her vehicle information on DAVID It continually surprises me that these tools operate on basically trust. Why cops have direct access to these databases is baffling. I don't have much hope for florida to regulate its police but at least mandating providing a reason to use the database seems like a very reasonable thing to legislate.

The penalties for police abusing the power we grant them should be severe.

I think it's intresting to read about the guy who made yolo. Take a look at his website and later, his thoughts about the monster he may have created. https://x.com/pjreddie/status/1230524770350817280 https://pjreddie.com/darknet/yolo/ https://medium.com/@graham.wallington/the-evolution-of-yolo-...

Rare good news story about a cop facing consequences (arrest). Was he fired as well? I couldn't tell from the article.

I immediately thought this was like something from a Carl Hiaasen novel, then read “He was tracking and chasing a woman that he met and harassed on the set of the AppleTV+ show Bad Monkey.” Bad Monkey is based on a Carl Hiaasen novel.

What an absolutely terrifying situation for that woman. It reminded me of a story from the UK where a police officer pulled over a woman, arrested her (for no reason) and raped and murdered her. I don’t know what you’re supposed to do in that situation because the law says you’re supposed to submit to police officers, not resist arrest, etc.
