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.

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.
