Very interested to see the future on these. Courts have to develop policies as technology keeps changing so quickly. Certainly hard to keep up.

I’ve followed this story for its absurdity and as an illustration of how police lie and bully the public they are supposed to protect. Only after national media attention do they withdraw a case of accusing a woman of something she can’t possibly have done… cbs12.com/news/local/f...

Charges dismissed for woman without right hand cited for holding phone while driving
A traffic citation issued to a woman who said she was accused of holding a phone in a hand she does not have has been dismissed.

Ring is first and foremost a scheme to charge Amazon customers to deter crime that costs Amazon (not the customers themselves) billions annually in refunds, returns, double shipping, and customer service overhead.

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people's empathy in service to a corporately controlled

In December, I traveled to Montgomery to visit the Legacy Museum, which traces the story of Black America from slavery to Jim Crow to mass incarceration. I wanted to understand how the museum & its affiliated sites were operating in a moment where so much of the history they present is under attack.

There is no world in which masked and armed agents of the state running down delivery drivers makes us safer. That our information environment and political leaders have convinced people otherwise is a massive failure.

The federal system doesn't use cash bail. I fail to see how this proposal — the federal govt insisting that states use a system that the federal govt *itself* does not use — could survive even rational basis review.

"Cities are horrific" is the kind of rhetoric that's contributed to people seeing houseless folks & others going through rough times as "criminal" instead of people who need help & resources. That's helped normalize shoveling billions to the carceral state as the only solution to fix problems.

My response to Ring's decision to roll back reforms and go back to surveillance on behalf of police as a business model. This is part of a trend of companies bending over backwards to get in on the techno-authoritarian money/power grab that comes with being a lapdog of the carceral state.
