  • Yeah e bikes aren't even allowed on the roads for now. The walkability problem is a matter of the billions and billions of dollars it would take to essentially redo every road in the county. Some zoning changes could help a little but we're generations of work away from being walkable

  • People need cars to live where I am. There is no public transportation and cycling is far too dangerous, no one even tries. They give up their homes before their cars. Tons of people living on UBI would be living in their cars.

  • YSK that a general strike is one of the most effective ways to push for change. There is a general strike in the works across the US for this Friday.

  • In my area the only union jobs are government employees and a few contractors that contract with the government. My wife has a union job but they're almost impossible to get. I've never been able to land one.

  • They're not going to abandon the surveillance state, it will only grow. They may posture like they're putting controls on it, but at some level all of the assholes in government want this.

  • The law is always behind technology. There's no gotcha here. I was just talking about the standard the law has to pass to last, under current interpretation. Lots of laws get passed and then struck down as not meeting the standard of constitutional muster. Just because someone wants to ban something doesn't mean the law will stand. Thanks for the degredation though.

  • You're almost always being filmed in public in many places. The courts say it doesn't matter whether or not you realize it, in the US.

  • Two party consent laws only apply in situations where they would have an expectation of privacy, as in not in public. Much of the whole first amendment auditing community is focused on educating people about this. State laws can't trump constitutional precedent.

  • Some do, because they want to sell to the international market where it might be required, or because they maybe think it is the right thing to do. It is not required in the US. Hidden cameras have been a thing for st least 75 years and the supreme court has essentially said, if you can see it in public, you can record it in public.

  • In the US, that does not legally violate your privacy if you are in public.

  • Are you okay with all of the potential consequences of that action? Being shot by the person you punched? Or at minimum going to jail for assault?

  • If you're in the US, the supreme court has said repeatedly we have no expectation of privacy in public. Anyone can operate as the press and the first amendment locks in their right specifically to film in publicly accessible places, and also to record government employees in the course of their duties based on current constitutioal law. It's good for filming cops from a short distance away, but if you physically get in their way they can arrest you. And resisting detainment or arrest can apparently get you shot.

    The flip side is yeah anyone can be recording you at any time in public. We can make laws to restrict that but the burden to pass constitutional scrutiny is high. Because of that, I'm not allowed to film into your home from outside, that was deemed an acceptable exception. If I could get the restrictions I'd like to see, it would be dismantling the surveillance state they've put up with Flock cameras etc. The government isn't allowed to surveil citizens without a court order, so they simply contracted it out to private companies.

  • ELI5 How is this legal? Doesn't the constitution give us the right to tell them piss off?

  • It's exactly as legal or illegal as it was when Obama was doing it.

  • That would result in tons of arrests, probably some death. There is absolutely not agreement that what they're doing is illegal. A third of the country voted for this and wilon the election.
