On: Cops: We Need Rights More Than You, Citizen

[mikerichards]

Maybe one day we'll have technology which gets embedded and self-reports us whenever we transgress whatever laws we agree to or are born into.

Say what? You really want some kind of robocop-chip embedded in you that reports you?

No, I don't. At fist blush it seems dystopian, but any other system brings in 'judgement' which is imperfect. It's more a mental exercise.

Technology can only help us with data collection (and that is a double-edged sword as well), not with moral judgement. And that seems to be the much harder problem.
