Ah. Encryption back doors, and now passport database to find criminals.

It's almost like our politicians saw China's social credit score and thought it was a great idea...

I feel like the sets of people who have passports and people who frequently seal stuff from stores have a very minimal overlap. This probably won't do much.

Fuck cops. They be like let's punish "criminals" instead of fix systematic issues

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

To be fair, fixing systemic issues is not the job cops signed up for. Punishing people is.

Still though fuck cops!

Fucking them just leads to more cops though.
