What happened to him and Kohlberger should scare the shit out of everyone. This is the surveillance state in full force. Whether he was in the right or jot is beyond the point, but less than 24 hours after the shooting they knew the hostile he stayed at, every business he went to and his route to and from everywhere during his entire new york stay and they could track him back to Atlanta.
This is exactly why the government needs to be weak. A government that can monitor you this closely is dangerous in the wrong hands.
Do you think the government is benevolent and can be trusted and has never done anything unethical? We need to dismantle the surveillance state.
I will tell you another thing as well. The better the surveillance state, the more black men are disproportionately imprisoned due to the disproportionate amount of crime they commit. You should be very concerned about the inequality caused by your techno-utopian surveillance state
You are just now realizing this? That is amazing, fact is when you are in public you are on camera 60% of the time in almost any city in America, and that's been the case for over 20 years. If you have a cell phone, and everybody has a cell phone, there is a record of your movement going back years. There is a biometric profile for 90% of the adults in this country. The patterns of your online activities, phone calls, and texting are monitored and recorded.
You haven't had anything resembling privacy outside of your home in decades.
That's the reality of the situation, and it can't be dismantled.
If you want to cope with it, think of it this way, there are bad people out there, we need to be able to track them, it is a matter of our security, but don't worry about me or you, anybody spending their time tracking us, has way too much time on their hands.
I made a very good living selling large data and security networks for decades, billion and billions have gone into security systems in Federal, State, Local governments, and of course the military. Homeland security pumped billions and billions into these networks, the military and state and local law enforcement put in billions, the infrastructure that can track us is formidable, you really can't get off the grid anymore, you better just learn to live with it.
