I get you guys in LE not wanting to let a criminal get away, but what punishment does one get for stealing a car, running a blue light, destroying a dozen cars and property along the way and keeping half the city from going to work because the interstate is shut down ninety days? six months? a year? Probably going to get put in front of some liberal POS judge that isn't going to do shit.

what do you think will happen to the crime rate when criminals realize that cops wont chase them for certain crimes then?

Everyone wants to play the passive role until they’re the victim. These same people call 911 because their $700 iPhone was stolen and they’re currently tracking it with a friends phone. But we be dammed to chase someone who stole someone else’s $20k car.

Yeah I get yall's points. I don't know what the answer is I guess it's easy for me to play Monday morning QB from the comfort of my house. You guys in LE have a tough job especially today. Since I hate playing the "what if game" I will bow out now.....LOL

No need to bow out man, were all just bullshitting here...i don't think any of us have all the answers here

Frankly If it was an easy solution we wouldn't even be talking about it
 
the problem is the subjects are acclimated to the punishment to the point that it is no longer an effective deterrent.
one might argue as well that some of the subjects live in conditions that are not particularly worse than incarceration.
when the liberals trick black and brown women into kicking fathers out of the house, calling it female empowerment, this is what you get.

These exploits require an attack vendor - poorly-implemented infotainment systems being the usual route. They require a vehicle with an improperly implemented gateway between communication buses. They almost always take advantage of commands that are used during service, and those commands are almost always disabled at higher speeds (typical 15 MPH or so). In other words, this combination of vulnerability is pretty uncommon, which is why almost all of these stories involve a particular Jeep product of a particular vintage and low speeds.

We're now implementing a variety of cybersecurity measures in the auto industry. I won't go into details in a public forum, but it will be pretty tough stuff to crack. It's also gonna make service and modification extremely difficult, and I can't say that I'm particularly happy about that outcome.
So are you saying the jeep thing is an anomaly or are they actually easy to hack? What year and model?

It’s all good. I think the biggest issue is the American people have lost their voice when it comes to LE doing their job. It’s not the politicians that decide how much authority or what laws are enforced. The American people bestow the trust and authority to LE for public safety. The only reason you pull over when an officer stops you is because we have agreement that this is acceptable as long as the stop was legitimate and the duration was reasonable given the circumstances.

Right now, in my opinion, self-interest groups and politicians seeking votes/culture change are the ones deciding LE role in public safety. I don’t see BLM calling the PD because stolen cars are abandoned in their front yard. It’s not criminals calling in and reporting suspicious activity or even parking violations.

LE has guidelines to follow. Case law, department policy, and the public’s allowance of authority sets the guidelines. So if the majority of Americans feel that chasing is not worth the potential risk, then that’s fine with me. The caveat being that you can’t also not accept the consequences along with that decision as well. I don’t have all the answers, so I’m just merely providing an explanation from the LE side of thought process.
 
I'm going to "circle back" to what I was originally posting about. I agree it's really stupid to go code 3 or 99 on a dude for a 5k warrant, but what is the limit? And how does the responding copper know there's not something else going on. I really don't think it was a good idea for that Rittenhouse kid to be out patrolling with his gat, BUT if the cops are going to let the peaceful rioters do their thing, what in fuck are people supposed to do?
In my neck of the woods there's a department with snipers in fucking helicopters to take out failure to yield suspects who are also known to be an extreme danger i.e. just shot someone and drove off. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen.
If cops can't pursue fleeing suspects (think California stop) why should anyone stop?
My crazy ass state passed several measures Prop 47, 57 and ab 109 that basically says if you've got dope or a syringe with dope, walk into a best buy and walk out with an $900 tv, it's a ticket. No jail time and no mandatory drug diversion. I think the actual number is $950, but you get the idea. Retail is getting hammered and we have a barely reported epidemic of fentanyl use and od's.
If folks want to get high and steal with relatively no consequences fine, that's what my dumbass neighbors voted for. My issue is running from the PoPo in a vehicle endangering the lives of others. I don't care if dude stole a Pez dispenser or is Charles fucking Manson, fuck him, mandatory 10 years in the pokey.

The other thing y'all have to remember.....no one is running from the police because of an expired tag or because they were doing 10 over the speed limit.

That is the reason for the stop......but the reason they are running be because they have warrants or have drugs in the car.

No one is risking jail time for ticketable offenses
 
if you have stolen crap, the police should just shoot you in the fucking face.

if you are stealing other peoples shit, fuck your life....learn how to be a civilized member of society and well consider your life having value.

Since I don’t share your muslim beliefs I can’t really comment, if I wanted summary roadside executions, I’d just move to a shit hole country that practices the type of “law enforcement” you want.


Apple said the same thing.. and thier shit gets hacked constantly.. even if it takes a year or so.

Side question. Do anarchists also believe in no taxes and no law enforcement? The end result of that is Mad Max or south side Chicago.. take your pick.

Do you even know what anarchism is? Who here wanted that? Oh right, no one.

Also so more taxes and more laws are more better?? How’s all those draconian laws and excessive taxes working for Chicago, NY, NJ, CA?

This might cook your noodle, but there is a middle ground between no law and a police state.

You selfishly put your safety as more important than anyone elses. That is only true to you. Smart people realise that their own saftey is their own responsibility, but people like you think the rules should be changed to suit them and not for the greater good, which in turn usually backfires and hurts the greater good. I think you are spineless.

i’ll take that one.....

i’ve slowly realized that i am an anarchist....after the events of the last 2 years. the rule of law is dead, and it’s going to get worse.

so to answer your question, i’ll ask you a question......what please explain to me what taxes and law enforcement have done for me? i’ll submit, for your consideration, that the two have lead to the sorry state of affairs we have now.

when the hell, did we as free men, become dependant on a group of corrupt scumbags taking our money and telling us what right and wrong is? i dont need ANYONE telling me what the right thing to do is. and those who step out of line? if the citizenry would just deal with them, they could clean it up one hell of a lot faster than “the gubment”. fucking thieves and traitors.

and for ANYONE thinking any of that^ has to do with LEOs, think again. taxes and laws......common origin is politicians.

Thats not really true. He has the same stance on most everything LE related. I get his points. Im a little more of the lose a hand if you steal or commit fraud. A fine when you already have no money amounts to shit. Shelter and food three times a day when you can barely keep your head above water means little.

At the same time, these people dont give two shits about who gets hurt when they run. LE should care, and no reason to make a innocent victim out of those commiting non-violent crimes running from cops in a car. They will eventualy get caught.....not that any deterent will come to those committing the crime.

One thing that would help is a clean record after you do your time. If you arent ready for a fresh start, youre not ready for release. If your life is still ruined after the fact, whats the point??
 
"They will eventually get caught." What a ridiculously broad statement. How do they know who is driving a car that runs?

They should not have been stealing. Your wife is a fucking retard if she is risking a hand to steal pencils from work. Your daughter is a fucking retard if she risks a hand to steal ear rings from the mall. Hanging thieves would clean up a lot of our societal problems. Letting them go because they run would do the opposite. Making straw man arguments to tug at heart strings is the game of mental midgets. Don't be like Turbotrout.
 
I’ve yet to understand what advantages there are to designing a car where the pedals and steering are not directly connected mechanically to their respective systems.

Anyone who has built classic cars and upgraded their old systems to modern but still mechanical or hydraulic systems knows you can get excellent brake feel, excellent steering, etc from these systems. Easily the same or better than current electronic systems without adding a hacking risk.
IMG_0633.JPG


My homemade car has zero power anything, the 750 carb is on a cable and responds instantly, and it handles like it's on rails. The steering linkage is racecar tight. It does, however, take some muscle to turn the wheels when the car is stopped. It's not till about 10mph that it gets easy to turn. Those wide sticky tires don't help with that either...

I never bothered with an interior, so it's all bare metal. I have often thought that I'll be the last free driver zipping past the electric/auto-drives with a tank full of explosive gasoline. I'll have to be constantly dodging, because the other car's AIs can't "see" me.

Sometimes life reflects art...

So seeing I’m for smaller government and for the bill of rights, that’s 100% incompatible with a environment where communism would could even take hold, so yeahhhhh

What have I ever said that was against personal property? I got quite a bit of it myself lol

Haven’t lived with my folks since I was a teen, but have a great relationship with them, thanks?

When did I say theft should not be a crime? Right I didn’t.
However I don’t think small time theft should warrant a potentially deadly chase through my neighborhood, and no, your TV ain’t worth my life, if someone runs for something stupid, let them go and do (gasp) actually police work to catch up with them later when it’s less of a threat to the public, you know that same public who foolishly thinks police have a duty to protect them.

Well I contributed a shit ton in taxes, and probably contributed more than most when it comes to line of work.

So are you saying the jeep thing is an anomaly or are they actually easy to hack? What year and model?

It's an anomaly in the sense that that specific attack vector only works on that specific vehicle. There may be other vectors that work on other vehicles, but they are conspicuous by their absence. Put another way, if they existed, they will be found and publicized. And put yet another way, be careful around early post-acquisition FCA stuff. It typically takes more than simple randomness to get the holes in the Swiss cheese slices to line up so perfectly, because a number of system vulnerabilities are required to use a wireless external connection to communicate with powertrain and chassis modules.

Touting how much you "contributed" in taxes is a dead giveaway. You contributed nothing. Your money was stolen from you with your own complicity, and that's it. In order to actually "give" something, by definition, it cannot be compulsory or coerced, and there absolutely has to be agency involved or it is simply an entitlement and it's absolute value is zero. All these things are totally absent in the money the government confiscates from you by force. Looking for virtue in confiscatory (rather than voluntary) taxes is a hallmark of socialism/communism, and a testament to it's total lack of any virtue.

I’ve said a few times on here I’m against income tax.

But it is what the masses consider contributing to the nation, I’ve also done a good bit of volunteer work, and worked in fields that made a direct impact for folks in my area.

But yeah, this is fun, go on with how I’m a “commie” but I am for limited government and read the bill of rights how it’s written, I’d love to see the mental gymnastics to get that square peg into the round hole.

How many banks did that guy in New York rob? I think it was about nine the last time I saw anything about it. Did they just stop arresting him so that the DA could set him back on the street the next day? Did he get tired of robbing banks?
