A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

“This is the most extreme type of monitoring that I’ve seen,” says Pilar Weiss, founder of the National Bail Fund Network, a network of over 90 community bail and bond funds across the United States. “It’s part of a disturbing trend where deep surveillance and social control applications are used pretrial with little oversight.”

Laws and rules only apply to people, not cops.

I wish we could leave cynical takes like this back on Reddit. They don't add anything of value to the conversation.

It does add to the conversation. Cops ruin lives, or end them illegally and only get let go from their current position and offered a new one somewhere else. Cops do not have to follow the laws, it's not cynicism. Sometimes the truth just sucks. You have the same chance of being killed by the police as you do from any other stranger.
