@mlnews The cop was lying, of course.

Something VERY interesting about autonomous vehicles is that now instead of powerless individual drivers facing off against cops, giant companies with serious lawyers and publicity capabilities will be doing the same thing. Now there is a chance to demonstrate if tickets are given out correct, consistently, and accurately with single large entities able to collect uniform data about the incidents, the tickets, the jurisdictions, and the cops like never before.
Not only will this make individual cops and villages accountable and transparent, it will also create a framework for changing traffic patterns to bypass problematic jurisdictions automatically - using economic power to punish areas trying to use ticketing to extort funds.

Seems likely, as GM has video footage that suggests that to be true.

Absolutely not. If you shoot at a police officer first, any officer present should return fire if he has a clear shot.

Absolutely not. If you shoot at a police officer, any officer present should return fire if he has a clear shot.
Even if you don't shoot first. Or have a gun. Or pants.

@momurda said in Non-IT News Thread:
If a cop shoots someone without being shot at first, that cop should be charged with murder or manslaughter. Due Process before execution by the state is supposed to be guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. Violating due process should have severe penalties.
In most cases around her, there is some type of investigation. I do think that if they are found guilty, then you are right -- they should be banned from being an LEO for life.

Most, but most isn't a very good bar. It should be all. Cops, like anyone working for the people with elevated privileges in exchange for the public trust, should be held to the highest standards, not the lowest.

This place is better than a philosophy class.
I had to step away, I have cocooned myself off too much. This is growth time for me brother. When I say Brother I sincerely mean it.
Thank you. I hope I can return the favor.

Tried to send a shaming email to them. I think they are either flooded with emails or that form has been disabled.
