    Yeah, Reddit isn't government, your first amendment rights to pretend you can combat radicalization by shitposting on forums do not apply.

    WordPerfect is far superior to Word for producing text documents.

    Since you ask:

    US Constitution, Fourth Amendment:

    The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

    Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 12:

    No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home
    or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has
    the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.

    You missed the rest of the quote, where they make it clear you can be required to have a licence, you just can't deny them to black people.

    The exercise of such a common right the city may, under its police power, regulate in the interest of the public safety and welfare; but it may not arbitrarily or unreasonably prohibit or restrict it, nor may it permit one to exercise it and refuse to permit another of like qualifications, under like conditions and circumstances, to exercise it.

    The regulation of the exercise of the right to drive a private automobile on the streets of the city may be accomplished in part by the city by granting, refusing, and revoking, under rules of general application, permits to drive an automobile on its streets; but such permits may not be arbitrarily refused or revoked, or permitted to be held by some and refused to other of like qualifications, under like circumstances and conditions.

    If your (and their) assumption is correct the entire operation is pointless, where as I suggest the assumption is faulty, if you read the rest of the sentence you quoted....

    The article says "(web-based)" including the "our interpretation parentheses" where as the screen shot looks decidedly the same as the existing FormerlyKnownAsMetro interface that the half the Windows 10 configuration options are in, locally.

    I suspect their interpretation is incorrect, but regardless people will be watching tcpdump/wireshark/etc to see what if any effect the settings have so it's not like they can fool everyone.

    Going to them when there's a problem is when white people start to hate the cops too, the minorities don't get the luxury of initiating contact.

    I'm sure there's good cops, but even the good ones will lie to the public to make their life/job easier. From fooling the public into consenting to searches, to purjery because what they know and what they can prove are different things.

    As for protection, if they're so efficacious why do rich enclaves hire their own patrols?
