Dude was never arguing in good faith the moment he equated getting pulled over for a broken tail light and getting your car searched with "public safety."

I never equated getting your car searched due to a broken tail light as "public safety". That's ugly and just ridiculous.

And to imply that I'm simultaneously not in favor of police reform because I have serious concerns about how the recordings of daily life in the city could destroy the privacy of citizens is in and of itself the definition of a bad faith argument.

You have zero right to privacy in the public realm, a legal precedent that's been well established. You don't have a right to drive a car, nor a right to break speed and other traffic laws.

Your equating of automated traffic enforcement as being equal to a police state is just absurd.

Really? It's well established? Because it doesn't seem like it.

A five second Google search shows major opposition across the country to anything from a basic speed camera to something as advanced as facial recognition.

Heh, hopefully you're nobody's lawyer. And maybe this issue isn't as black and white as you want it to be.

Just because you claim to be something doesn't mean anything.

Same "as a centrist" bullshit people have been pushing for years.

Nobody is stupid enough to buy that anymore.
