FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
I don’t need to read the story. The fact that this is even a question is already enough information for me.

“Yes, if it takes criminals off the road”
Got to be kidding. It turns cops into criminals. Enough is enough. I’d rather take my chances with possible terrorists and criminals rather than the actual criminal state.
Not working. Not taking to the results. Must not be the answer they wanted.
Like everything else in our “super-tech” world, the devil’s in the the details.....
Are the cops scanning for W&W hits for felons or stolen cars ? Or are they looking for “easy targets of opportunity” ? IOW, outstanding traffic tickets for seniors, child-support deficit cases, etc ? I know what my take on how the street cops will use this technology is. Particularly if the Desk hits hard upon their “stop record” at stand-up..... IOW a lot of folks with outstanding parking tickets are going to be treated to a “full bore felony stop”! >PS
16% - Yes, I’ll give up my freedom for safety, and yours too.
79% - No, enough with Big Brother already
5% - Huh? Dude! What?
