this is the real reason why they’re doing it.

It’s the same reason I made sure the security cameras on my house are visible from the street. People with bad intentions just move on to easier targets.

no they don’t.

they wear a hoodie. or a ball cap. or they have a package to block their face. or any of a hundred other ways of making a camera useless on the cheap.

Your highly visible cameras only tell them you can afford some good shit. I’m not saying you shouldn’t have cameras- and they’ll usually be visible if you know what to look for… it’s kind of necessary for them to function… But cameras are not a deterrence, and neither are they an active element in your security. They are passive, and really only useful when dealing with insurance or explaining what actually happened in the first place.

honestly, body cameras are more about liability after the fact. There’s really only two reasons to strap a camera on somebody- liability defense (cops, armed security guards, etc,) and being able to monitor what the fuck they’re doing. both are important when the individuals in question are armed. Not so much when the expected response is constructive cowardice.

There’s absolutely no way a body camera would act as a deterrent when traditional and AI-enhanced security cameras that they’re absolutely already using won’t. Also, I’m not entirely sure I believe that there’s massive waves of organized shoplifters.

There is- as noted in the article- a massive wave of unionization, though. and that would probably hurt their profits far more than any wave of shoplifting ever will.

FuglyDuck, to politics in Is Hunter Biden being prosecuted because of politics?

And they had a plea deal in place. That got upended when said political hacks decided to make a name for themselves and change it.

It was (mostly) apolitical, and then it became a thing. The current prosecution is entirely political.

Hey. Be comfortable. if you’re comfortable in crocs and socks…

i’m more laughing at the suessian rhyme. “would you wear crocs with socks… and a fox?”… "WHAT MOXIE! I would not, could not, should not wear crocs with socks… not in a box, not with a fox… "

@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

they had a plea deal that… politics intruded on… causing Hunter to decide to change his plea

Basically, this is the kind of charge that sees almost no major consequences for and is usually plead out to something like probation or a fine, but partisan hacks decided to try and make a name for themselves.

If the process that happened with whats-his-name-from-Wisconsin is followed, then they’d have to wait until after he’s elected but before he’s seated anyhow.

Further, Congress has the constitutional power to override SCOTUS decisions. It’s happened five times. I don’t know if SCOTUS has ever overturned a congressional action that was taken under the direct authority of the constitution.

if you’re going to use ‘this is incredibly unprecedented’… yes. it fucking is. It’s incredibly unprecedented that a sitting US president used riots and insurrection to attempt to overturn the will of the people. such a blatant and unprecedented violation of democracy requires unprecedented responses. (like locking up an ex pres for insurrection.)

I’m not sure how it would be contrary to the 14.3 and 14.5 amendments, but sure.

And oh, by the way, that would be gross partisanship and qualify scrotus for impeachment, as 14.5 assigned sole enforcement to congress.

For the record, he doesn’t have to be charged.

It’s enforced by a vote in congress as to if he’s eligible or not. Being that the one time this happened outside of participation in the civil war, it was a guy in congress, his chamber voted- but I assume it would take both houses to oust a president

In my defense, I only notice because I really want him to kark it already. It’s a miracle he hasn’t. One wonders what the world has done to piss off satan lately.
