Quadcopters Can Now Visually Track Targets More Effectively

Well enforcement is down through the floor. You can measure that [1].

Cops claim it’s because of too much regulation (regulations put in place because of bad cops). It doesn’t really matter if they’re lying or not, there’s now no enforcement.

And all the political capital spent putting regulations in place now means there is none left to solve the underlying root causes of crime.

This is the dynamic playing out in most cities, esp in cities with strong police unions.

But none of that supports the assertion that the attitude is "Well cops are bad, so we can't enforce any laws". It may support the assertion that "the way we're trying to address abusive policing is misguided", which is an entirely different thing.

“ the way we're trying to address abusive policing is misguided”

and as a result we have no enforcement now

That’s all I’m saying.
