No, it's not a bot ring. I assume you think that because I posted links to stackexchange quite a few times the last few months. Instead, I just skim over stackexchange.com as part of my feed and when there's something what I assume HN interests, I post it here.
I don't care much about Karma. I posted this specific topic since I find it kind of hilarious that police should now lawfully be able to do something they are almost surely not able to do. And I enjoy discussions to such topics here on HN, because most of the time the viewpoints mentioned here are at least of the same quality of the answers on stackexchange.
