Digital K9s for all the officers!

My go to response to that question is, "Because you thought I was Brad Pitt and you wanted my autograph? I know, I get it a lot." I look nothing like Brad Pitt.

I don’t need to know what you did to know my job

Bingo. Any reasonable judge would toss these cases for not having probable cause.

This also seems like easy legislation at the federal level. "Driving patterns gleaned from the use of an ALPR system does not, by itself, constitute probable cause."

In a country that has been building its infrastructure around personal automobiles for decades, we cannot make that necessary function of daily life be an automatic consent to targeted analysis.

I get that cameras pointed at intersections and highways are here to stay. That means there will be records of what happens in public places that can be analyzed for a certain person's movements once there's a warrant.

That's the whole fucking point of warrants and 4th amendment protections. Just because the technical ability exists to analyze somebody's Personally Indentifiable Information doesn't mean you just get to do it. Just like you don't get to listen to any phone call you want, or plant bugs and trackers on everybody you are curious. (A group of three-letter agencies enters the chat, lol)

You left off these ones from the list which are pretty funny

Being the first person off a plane

Being the last person off a plane

Someone authorities believe has tried to blend in to the middle of exiting passengers'

So... getting off a plane then.

Simple throughline, two options: "Bad Vibes" aka being a minority in America or "I need to impress my superior, and the best thing i could do would be whatever sherlock holmes does, but im an idiot so ill just roll the dice on the next guy and hope im right and get promoted :)"

No, but now AI can mass-search for those reasons, or combine them, for all of us. You won't even know you were targeted as a political enemy until you're in an interrogation room...

They don’t know what a washing machine is. They likely think it’s to clean golf balls.

I used to visit the bank way more often when living paycheck to paycheck because it was the only way to get ahead of insufficient funds charges. I was depositing cash from whatever I could sell to pay off the $25 per item overdraft fees.

I used to be a manager at a smoothie shop. went to like two banks a day with different business needs, guess that's not allowed.... who knew?

I got so tired of the quarters problem (bank online so I get ATM fees then have to go to a laundromat to pretend I’m doing laundry there) that I bought a whole-ass washing machine for $180 to avoid the problem.

I’m actually saving a ton of money and because my landlord is checked out and lives far from here he’ll never know we have a portable washer in our apartment.

so three empty ATMs can land me in jail. good to know.

don't eat it.. just take a nibble:

It's also getting pretty good at finding queers! So sus!

Hopefully its as easily hackable

Need a Bobby Tables style license plate.

Heh, I put the text of the joke in this post, but lemmy wouldn't let me submit. Let's hope the ALPR guys aren't as careful lol.

Driving with... Balls?

Walking on the side of the street invites its own set of legal issues.
