Re: Do you ever notice that you consistently write on items of interest to dopers?
Uh, no, the idea is that _not everyone has to suffer invasions of privacy because some slacker is looking for "dopers" by trawling though everyone's records._
"Dopers" aren't the ones inconvenienced (read: have their lives destroyed) by idiots with power and zero reason to assault them in their homes. If someone has an illegal grow op, there are tons of ways to find that out, starting with fooken probable cause.
You're too stupid to advocate for your rights. (Until it happens to you. Gawd spare the world your whining should that ever happen.)
Not difficult, if true, as they have been rather free to do what they want for quite a long time. Just give them someone on whom to hang their allegiance besides themselves.
There are plenty of places for that, it's just that the only time the Hole Diggers will show up in such places is to... dig holes. They may not be noticed there by the wider world, but that's what they do.
impede or interfere with law enforcement activities
That is hilarious on its face, but do they mean interference with enforcement of law, or do they mean interference with the activities of law enforcement agencies? These concepts tend to display a high degree of orthogonality.
_And the U.S. political system does not provide much opportunity for bait-and-switch games some socialist to communist countries can engage in by first letting companies build infrastructure for their own purposes, then confiscate it._
I think you mean, build large operations at taxpayer expense and then hand them over to ridiculously awful capitalist cronies for practically nothing.
Bad socialism isn't any worse than bad capitalism.
Sure they will lay the fiber that should have been there 20 years ago if they can sell their stupid 5G at exorbitant rates and suck taxes dry over internet of broken cities charges while getting kickbacks from vendors of IoT trash.
I think the best thing about the theoretical smart-city is that, if the stuff ever works, it won't make anything better or more efficient, it will simply enable more control and abuse. Awesome.
Just finish laying the dumb pipe and go away. Or just go away. We are already living in someone's bad fiction dystopian future.
