Stay bitter

Stay stupid. When you get nailed by an oncoming car it’ll be no one’s fault but your own. Moron.

Over a long enough time period it’s a self correcting problem.

This is the problem. Scofflaws will have no problem circumventing monitoring mechanisms, as there is no on-the-ground enforcement behind them that might properly identify them, much less stop them or bring them to task.

Meanwhile, ever-increasing monitoring mechanisms are creating a surveillance state. On the one hand, that disproportionately identifies the occasional misstep by generally law-abiding folk (who do not act to hide their identities from monitoring). On the other, it creates a trove of information that can be used by authorities in ways not forseen by our societal norms and legal system, technically within the law but as would be considered a misuse by those having enacted such laws when they were written (and when such surveillance technologies either did not exist or were too expensive/cumbersome/ineffective to be in consideration).

Authoritarians exist on both ends of the ideological spectrum. I pray every day that we can excise Trumpism fromnour body politic once and for all this November so we can have this discussion in earnest.
