So let’s say I check all those boxes; what then?

By bike even… passenger vehicles -even EVs are frowned upon these days…

And forget the clamp in the process ?

Culture really is the one bullet again far right imho. Politics always come with agendas, it’s hard to count on them in the long run.

Your examples are clear indication that you know jack shit about actual police work. Admittedly in civilised countries where there are checks and due process. Cops aren’t getting access freely to comms. A magistrate can depending on circumstances. And there’s plenty of red tape everywhere. Even telco operators will refuse to respond to a request if not absolutely justified. And typically that’s not when timmy sold some shit to his neighbour. Organised crime, murders, rapts… instances of those with actual victims are not threats, they are shits that happen and needs to be sorted.

Lemme be the judge of that… grow a bit and put your argument on the table.

Don’t hesitate to develop…

Call interception, retro and all methods of investigation relying on télécommunications are, and need to remain, a tool available for police forces when the crimes they are investigating are greatly impacting society. Having a prosecutor request those within acceptable limits is a net positive. Not the same as having dragnets spying on everyone in the hope of hitting keywords mind.

But criminality is using more and more complex tools at their disposition and there’s just no way of policing like in medieval times anymore.

Working server side much? Pretty sure a lot of us spend a lotta time on fixing shit unrelated to either of those 3… Not that it diminishes the merit of our IT support dude that endure due to those 3 indeed.

Dark if true…

I’m convinced that we can address needs for changes while not being doomsday cultists either; I’m pretty much doing it as much as I can while not being a drama queen about it and generally shutting the fuck up.

But it doesn’t get me much attention which I guess is what the cultists are after.

Compared to the peaceful nations of China, Iran and Russia?

The same ones that censor books and prevent abortion? MhHHhhhh

There’s no local ordinance over the ocean? Here (Belgium) it’s mandatory for anything rented or commercially used.
