Lol but yes

Cameras. They fucking hate body cameras. When it clears them of wrongdoing, they have the video ready. When they 'accidentally' shoot a guy nine times in the back of the head, video seems to be missing.

Putting it out there for someone to do this for cops in the UK. I can't run infrastructure but the cops terrorise out local community and constantly refuse to identify themselves/turn off their badge cam.

I know for a fact

Do you remember why you "know" this? Just curious.

I would need a law showing that matching a face against publicly available datasets of faces is illegal as that seems insane and difficult to police.

Surely you have noticed that there is a lot of criticism of the GDPR and EU tech regulation.

Means we have all the time in the world to turn it against them, then!

all of the suddenly?

Ahh yes of course, two wrongs have always made a right /s

they're lookin at me Sarge. with their eyes.

oh good my phone is set up for that?

is that just user submitted or do they have some sort of verification process (don't ask me what it would be i can only think of stuff that works with nonfascist governments right now) because, well us and ours have fucked with similar forms too (e.g. that one texas abortion bounty hunter form comes to mind first)

hail hydra?

It's not about being right anymore, that's never going to happen.

They know what they're doing is wrong

Is that why the protestors wear them too?

It's just you. There were mass protests across the country just a couple of weeks ago.

Unless you meant the senseless destruction of property.

Nothing wrong with "suddenly." I probably should have used it in my previous comment. It's just that sometimes you want to say "all of a sudden." Especially at storytime. The extra time helps build the suspense. "Suddenly" is more sudden in that it just jumps in there. With "all of a sudden," the subject isn't ready but the listeners are.

easily solvable problem: losing the footage is indication of guilt. you shoot someone, you better have it ready. it malfunctioned, better have a partner who has theirs ready. if no one has footage to clear you, it's used as evidence of guilt.

of course pussy ass lawmakers will never do that.

Protestors or vandals and rioters?

The former: to prevent government persecution and unfair retaliation. The latter: yes.

Why would they face persecution if they did nothing wrong!?

The government has always had it out for protestors, to the extent that they'll try and use agents provocateur to escalate the situation. They don't want people to protest, they just want people to life back and take it. C'mon, you seriously asking this?

The point I'm trying to make is that everyone is wearing a mask for the same reason: to prevent retribution for their beliefs and according actions.

They don't "know what they're doing is wrong", they just know that other people think that and will target them for it, which is the exact same reason protestors wear them.
