we already cant trust authority with things like guns, why the fuck should we let them do this?
this would be just another tool to be abused by the cowards that join these groups and call themselves 'officers'.
It’s also another potential attack vector for hackers to use. Imagine hackers getting control of the system (or simply finding whatever standardized backdoor the companies have been forced to include) and being able to shut down an entire city over a weekend.
Even just being able to target a mark for robbery or assassination.
We can't trust authorities with guns? You mean like in the sense that they do absolutely nothing about the rampancy of them in America?
They mean because the authorities here like to shoot people when they very much don't need to.
Oh, my bad, totally misunderstood and totally agree.
hahah what the actual fuck are you talkin about. you certainly arent referring to me. at no point did i disregard regulation or call for it.
you must be OLD and Uneducated because you cant seem to slow your Roll.
They're totally right. I drive slowly on surface streets and am insanely careful around kids, pets and motorcyclists. Wanting to have control of my vehicle has nothing to do with having a good time. It has to do with government invasion of my life.
Also, I'm almost to mid life crisis age.
Lol, you're unbelievable naive if you think this wouldn't be abused by the powers that be or subverted by hackers.
What in the everliving fuck did I just read
Calls people uneducated, doesn't believe in unionization...
Make it make sense
