Here's an even better idea... Use the same chip but put it in every citizen instead. If you break the law, the chip goes off.

No need for police force at that point, right?


So we're bringing back Nixon rhetoric? Lol

I'm just simplifying ink's proposal. Why have a police force with a chip when you can cut the middle man and just chip the citizens directly?

Wow, that's about as lazy of a position as one can take. "We can't make meaningful change without totally destroying the system, cuz lawyers". Just, a beautiful symphony of laziness.


Let's just do the same thing over and over again! Because that works! History is on my side!

The difference is that citizens are humans who have legal protections and judicial process. Cops are rabid dogs who don’t deserve rights.

So wouldn't it make more sense to do away with cops?

Doesn't this just support my take on your take?

Yes. Do away with cops. And most laws.

Your suggestion would effectively end policing, and the time before that relied on shit like the hue and cry that was an abysmal failure. So no, history is not on your side.

Your sarcasm detector is very broken.

End policing as we know it currently. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

End the ability of the police to stop violent offenders, but retain routine stuff like traffic tickets. Sounds like the worst of both worlds
