At this point I'd agree but consider this: A huge database that tracked all the "small shit" and created not only metrics on it, but did trend analysis. That could easily be justified as way to allocate their resources. Now start associating those events to the individuals. Once a certain number of events were accumulated, it might trigger an officer to go arrest them. Additionally, if questioned, they could pull your record and decide to detain you. Here's the big one: A politician is wanting to show he's tough on x crime. They simply run a report of all who've committed x and go arrest or fine them. The technology is there already but the systems and databases don't have the intercommunication capabilities or capacity so would be extremely expensive to implement. Fast forward 5-10 years and it may be a different story. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

The Patriot Act is not what led to this, advances in technology and shrinking police budgets did. The Patriot Act is simply now being used as possibly another justifier of it. We're crossing into new LEO territory that was paved with speed and light cams: "Can duties that can be legally done by an officer be automated to be done by a machine?"

While driving home from a funeral for a friend that wasn't dead yet I stopped at an adult store. I'll pause and let that sentence sink in as it's probably the first time those words have been used together in that order in the history of language. Earlier I had taken out my contacts and was driving wearing my glasses. As these glasses are beyond fugly and only really needed for driving, I left them in the car when I went in. I'd been to this place before and they never really had much but I was bored and had stopped to pee at the gas station next door anyways so figured I'd see if they had anything new. While walking around the small store I noticed my eyesight seemed worse for some reason than normal. It may have just been the incredibly bright lights or maybe they had some incense burning. I see this guy and as we happened to accidentally make eye contact we both did the quick "Hi" nod and turn which is the correct response should the "No eye contact" rule be broken. Didn't really see anything that peeked my interest as far as purchases but say they had a boxing girl love doll that I decided to take a closer look at as it was unique. Remember, I'm temporarily blind so in order to do so I have to pick it up and hold it fairly close to read the box. Out of the corner of my eye I see the guy walking over my way. He walks up next to me says, "Hey, you ever used this stuff before?" To say I was shocked would be an understatement. The number of adult store rules he just broke: * Talking to someone other than whom brought in the store with you, * Talking to a non employee (talking to an employee is one as well but he hadn't broken that one, yet) * Asking them a question * Asking them an explicit question * Asking a man a question implying they use toys Was waiting for the porn police would break down the door and immediately arrest him for these offenses. When that didn't happen I figured I was on my own. Looked over and he was holding 2 packages in his hands. All I could really tell with my thankfully limited eyesight was they had some holes but were not dolls. "Umm, no" I answered, "never used those." "Yeah" he replied in a sad tone, "me neither." Thinking if I didn't act fast was about to hear his sad tale of what drove him to this, him crying, and maybe even trying to hug me which would certainly activate the stores immediate destruct sequence, offered him the only advice I knew. "Have some friends that swear by Fleshlights though." In a perkier voice, "Yeah? What are those?" "They look like flash lights with various tops." Even more enthused, "Oh? Where are they?" Since he'd already broken so many rules, "I dunno, ask one of the employees" and left quickly. Do I look like someone not only approachable in an adult store but knowledgeable as well? He may have felt comfortable asking as while we were different races we had similar hair. Anyone else have something similar? I've had employees of the stores try to to be helpful and friendly before and even that can be off settling.
