Technology use bad, police bad
What is good then? Any realistic recommendations? Or let's just abolish the police, they over-police the high crime areas; they kill unarmed black men; they violate people's rights. I mean come on!!!! How come this racist machine continues to function in America????
The straw man arguments abound in the entire piece. Just one example:
"Nor can anyone begin to predict how law enforcement will avail itself of science-fiction-like technology in the decade to come, much less decades from now, though cops on patrol may very soon know a lot about you and your past. They will be able to cull such information from a multitude of databases at their fingertips, while you will know little or nothing about them."
Of course if the police are investigating you, they will know a lot more about you then you them......... What the heck?
