I think people get worried about concepts like pre-crime with this.
Worry, what...that you'll get pulled over for suspicions while being innocent, and then the cops would be forced to find out you're innocent?
Yeah I can see that being inconvenient to downright dangerous depending on the cop, personally I think it has the potential to do more good than bad.
It's just a shame the police have such a hard on for drugs when there's so much worse stuff going on out there.
And a certain percentage of innocent people are found guilty. You don't see how expanding the arrests of innocent people is a bad thing? It has the potential to ruin lives
What about innocent until proven guilty?
Sir, we have proof you look like a drug dealer, you have to prove you are not one
Wait until you grow up a bit and learn about probable cause, or people getting pulled over for nothing. This tech changes nothing about your idea of “innocent until proven guilty” vs what actually happens on the daily.
I think that's exactly the point. The current situation is already bad, tools that reinforce the bad part of the system shouldn't be accepted.
Big "if you're innocent, you've got nothing to hide" energy. I can be innocent and still not want unnecessary interaction with police and appreciate my privacy
