Read "The Feast of the Goat," ideally in Spanish if you can. The parallels between Trujillo-era rhetoric in DR and Trump-era rhetoric in the US are telling, and disturbing as hell.
Exactly - the US sentencing system is terminally fucked up, in a way that pushes people to plead guilty to crimes they're INNOCENT of. This serves nobody -- the real criminal is still out on the street, innocent lives are ruined, and the states pay to incarcerate innocent victims of the US injustice system.
Better solution would be to erase a whole bunch of victimless crimes from the books (i.e. non-violent drug possession by adults, prostitution between consenting adults, gambling offenses) and require that the state prove its case in front of a jury for any other serious crime. In short, treat people like grown-ups, not like abused children.
All the more reason to run your footage on a 24-hour wipe cycle if you're a store owner. If YOUR store gets robbed, you save it. If cops show up on a fishing expedition two months later, it's gone.
Doctors save lives, cops mostly destroy lives, in a country that has a 1% incarceration rate. If most doctors were like most cops, they'd be sued into bankruptcy for gross negligence. No need to help cops destroy more lives.
Baby steps, baby steps, give it time. Trump's blatent hatemongering about outsiders is very much in the style of an East European or Latin American caudillo.
BTW, as far as the shooting example, if they murder you, they can't milk you for tax money for the rest of your life. In East Germany, they let you leave at age 60, when you were no longer useful to the State. Who says the US won't do the same to prevent a "brain drain", considering the current tide of anti-intellectualism that will likely send smart, productive people running.
If they screen people when they leave, how long before they start restricting citizens from leaving? A "no travel list" vs a "no fly list" -- people will start finding themselves on it due to unpopular views. Remember, the current administration is known for extreme pettiness.

Russians must be laughing their asses off at the Americans. During Soviet times, bet they didn't think that the US would move towards a system just like theirs or East Germany's, where you needed permission to leave the country. But that's what the US is doing, all under the guise of safety and keeping residents of "shitholes" out. Congrats to us.
Nope -- courts should be tax-supported. Paying a penalty for daring to defend yourself isn't in the interests of justice, since it discourages people from defending themselves in court. Basically, it's a racket.
Smartphone mics and cameras work poorly when the thing is laid flat, face-down on a table to charge. Similarly, the cameras get a nice, exciting view of the ceiling. As far as tracking, I choose not to have my phone with me a significant portion of the time.
The Echo, OTOH, is designed to listen, omnidirectionaly.
Hopefully, the trend of voluntarily putting a bug in one's home will flop like a lead balloon. If someone gave me an Echo for free, I'd use it for softball practice.

A store agreeing to that would require the assumption that cops are honest, which is often not correct.
Are any other cities than NYC rolling out free calling stations, like LinkNYC?

Yep. Remember when you didn't need to show your "papers" just to travel within the US?

They're a problem, but at least they get images of what a suspect is actually doing.

Nope. It's just a cheapie $100 phone from last year. If it did, a drop of epoxy would fix it while still retaining the ability to call.
Says the Anonymous Coward.
What difference does it make whether you leave the country by air, train, or foot for the purpose of immigration enforcement?
By that argument, they should be fined the cost of the train ticket plus a small legal fee.
In Germany, you can literally walk across the French border without being screened. e.g.

There needs to be a disincentive for governments to fine and jail people for minor things.

Government shouldn't be given this power.
More likely, Bush & Co knew about a plot and let it happen. Maybe Bush's idiot son wasn't that evil, but Rummy and Bypass Dick sure were.

They do so poorly when they're in a rubber case and the mic-hole is facing a surface.

It's happening to everyone (including US citizens) who leave the US. Not enter. That's the issue.
Does USENET still exist other than a sink for weird spam?
