How do you say that this is prevented from happening again due to legal changes, but also say the government shouldn’t be doing that? Do you think they should be allowed to? Do you think people should just fight them every time they try it? If the latter, what’s the difference between that and a government? (Hint: there isn’t one. That is a government.)
Yes, the US is failing to fulfill its obligations to the people. I’ve made that point. Saying that this means they have no obligations is insane though.
I don’t recall stating where I think the limits should be. To be clear, my limits are where it helps protect *other people*. I don’t give a shit if you choose to drive a personal deathtrap, as long as others are as safe as possible, who did not consent. We are failing this but, again, that doesn’t mean we should do *nothing*. It means we need to change things. I’d rather not live in a Mad Max style free-for-all.
Edit: Also, there should be privacy protections. Even if it helps other people, there’s no need to destroy all privacy. Your privacy should have protections, just as other people’s rights need protecting from your vehicle.
