why was this FBI guy so forthcoming with this lady about his agency's arguably civil rights abuses? I mean I guess it's good he was but on the other hand it seems a bit weird, given my experience with feds.

They're not confessing. They're bragging.

"We have you dead to rights. Check here in my fancy computer."

Just intimidation, pretty common.

"Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on"

-Larry Ellison

tantalor•31m ago
That sentiment seems to fail the test with reality, because you have people following the rules and behaving perfectly normally (like the subject in this story) who end up getting scrutinized anyway. That's a recipe for increasing anti-social behavior. After all, why bother following the rules if it doesn't keep me out of trouble?
shimman•29m ago
Because it's not about helping you, it's about control. These people are literal anti-humanists, they just want to control all aspects of society. If people are suffering from the consequences of a massive publicly mandated surveillance state, well that's the price of progress if you listen to the anti-humanists.
dcss_gardener•22m ago
Pretty sure the person you're responding to sees that clearly and may in fact be trying to point it out.

The original view presented by the quote is a child's view of authoritarians: they force you to behave the way they want you to.

The other commenter is pointing out how they work in practice, how they'll work with this, is by making noncompliant behavior the accepted norm and then enforcing it selectively based on their changing goals and targets.

It’s a fine line. Periodic demonstrations of arbitrary state power over your personal life can enhance the coercive effect. TSA checkpoints serve this purpose.
catigula•27m ago
Because they're the exception, not the norm. These systems generally do what they're supposed to do, at least if implemented correctly. The key isn't efficacy; you need to be emotionally prepared to oppose privacy violations even if they're doing exactly what they advertise.

How much better is the "intelligence" of police officers compared to artificial intelligence?
intrasight•21m ago
It's the human in the loop that makes it subjective. Whether it's better or worse to have policing be subjective is a valid question.

I've had plenty of encounters where the discretion of a police officer was of great benefit to me and my friends.

jon128•24m ago
Reasonable suspicion, where the "reasonable" part is absurdly subjective here, is not probable cause.

These detentions, even for the majority who have documented in writing a full assent to adhere to vehicle codes under public policy, are not legal.

Those who aren't well-educated in law can stop reading here.

A custodial arrest of someone who went to great lengths to avoid assenting in writing to adhere to vehicle codes, based on reasonable suspicion, would be unlawful, and in addition to the involved false declaration of an emergency on the road (which is a felony) would ipso facto be criminal in nature.

Documentation of dishonor has value in the public space. Blockchains for the win.

We used to call those dragnets which are illegal under the 4th amendment, but the constitution only tends to apply to those with the ability to hire attorneys nowadays.
cogman10•6m ago
Yeah, still illegal, but because they are new they have to work their way up through the courts to be affirmed as illegal once again.

These cameras need to be banned federally. It shouldn't be legal to own or sell access to a network of these pervert cameras.

Because instead of merely being scrutinized, you get sent to jail.
