Which is not necessarily a good thing for local PDs as DUIs and traffic incidents make up pretty much the entirety of their budgets. It's their biggest source of revenue and without that kind of fat on the trim, how the police are going to funded is fucking beyond me. It's literally the most profitable means of keeping police self-funding.
Law enforcement should not be self-funded. It creates an automatic bias towards excessive enforcement of revenue-generating laws at the expense of everything else, due to pressure to keep the department funded first and protecting the public second.
 
It's a very, very strange tactic. I don't get it. I didn't really get the TACO thing either, I guess this is some knee pads that.. Who is getting fucked? I saw some goofy thing when Newsom was around with that and what the hell is wrong with democrats?
I just see Newsom clowning around with knee pads and assume he got them from Kamala Harris with no further elaboration.
 
I've actually been successful and developed my reputation by being a straight shooter. Especially when it comes to AI stuff.

Shot myself in the foot tho. Probably could make double by just being a typical salesman bullshitter.

But my Ferrari 599, my condo in Hilton Head, my Japanese wife and my Korean girlfriend help keep me happy.
Dilbert joke here.
 
Directed energy weapons - would the "brain splitting frequency generator" allegedly used in Venezuela count? Most people think of lasers or light when thinking about directed energy, but even audio frequencies carry energy and speakers convert electricity into sound waves. I think any DEW we might end up using will be a lot less cool than sci-fi weapons for a long time.
They've also got sound cannons that can make people nauseous at a decent range now too. It's pretty neat. Imagine an entire gaggle of rioters suddenly pausing their mayhem, clutching their stomachs, barfing a couple times then scrambling to get away in a panic trying to understand what's happening.
 
I don't think you really understand how much of our government's legal system is funded by traffic stops. If manual driving were banned, we're facing an entire restructuring and likely shutdown, of a vast portion of the entire justice system.
I got ticketed just the other day for going ten miles over on a barren stretch of interstate where I wasn't within two miles of any other car. Them fuckers are desperate for funds.
 
It's all human error anyway. You said take about 50% of the drivers now, and even then it's still mostly human error.

There's very little downside to full self driving cars down the road. I know luddites hate it, but it's coming.
I don't want the goverment being able to shut my vehicle off without my key.
I like having to own my personal property I like my stuff. I want physical media, physical game copies, I want to some days just put in a piece of media into a player, slot, stick drive or disk drive.
I like my ownership and privacy and people who say otherwise to sell me ads should have their dicks cut-off.

I'm not sure if this was an LRAD, though.

Lasers are light.

LOL, Asmongold telling people to stop tagging him in this because the guy looks like him.
 
In other news, the Brits and some other Euros are losing their fucking minds over Trump's Fox interview.

"Speaking to Fox on Thursday, the US president said he was "not sure" the military alliance would be there for the US "if we ever needed them".

"They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan," he said, "and they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines "




Trump is absolutely correct that certain NATO members like Italy (bribed the Taliban not to attack) and some of the Eastern European ones (literally just sat in their bases and never left for the entire deployment) absolutely did nothing in Afghanistan.

In a war with China, NATO would 99% sit it out so he's not incorrect.
