And do you think this is fair? Not only were you a lawbreaker, you confessed to lawbreaking in front of a cop. But the cop liked your attitude, so you got away with breaking the law. What if he didn't like your attitude? What if you were of a race he wasn't kindly disposed towards? What if you reminded him of the guy who porked his ex-wife? What if you had a bumper sticker supporting a politician he despised? What if you were driving a Nissan, and the cop's brother had just been laid off by General Motors? Would you be any more or less deserving of punishment for your lawbreaking in any of these cases?
This is what I hate about our current methods of law enforcement. They're capricious and arbitrary. They excuse some and convict others based on completely subjective criteria that have nothing to do with the violation. Yes, bring on the robots with cameras. They don't care what bumper stickers you display.
If frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their butts when they hop.
You can "what if" anything. It isn't perfect but I like over what else is available.
Just like the futuristic view of no pilots in the future. My dad was a commercial airline pilot for 30 years and when confronted by someone who said he got paid too much he said yep I am until we catch on fire or something falls off and then I am worth every dime, right?
I prefer people anyday.
