Which I also think has been a net negative to the Western world.

Billy the dumbass in Gary Indiana does something stupid there he should be held to account by people from there, not posted online and receiving massive attention from the rest of the planet as people get off to their outrage porn online.

so if someone is carrying a baseball bat, a knife, or any other sort of weapon that can trivially kill or maim others they should be wearing the body cam?

That is typically a case of police trying to negotiate funding, it will go in a cycle once a contract gets renegotiated they will go on a blitz to show how effective the funding was and then over time let it start to slide again.

You've heard all the horror stories of HOA's ... yeah lets add those people into other area's of peoples lives.

That is a discussion that can be had between the offender and the police officer, also depending what you are driving (ie a motorcycle) often traffic lights may not detect you and you can be sitting there forever.

Put it this way would you feel comfortable having your phone just passively watching you and anytime you break any law that is on the books it calls the cops on you? If you can see that as over reaching you can understand why others don't want automated enforcement done to them.

so where does that line get drawn then - what metric does it move beyond the tool my friends have and one that meets your criteria

Theft / traffic violations / jaywalking / curfew breaking / or public intoxication type crimes can be handled by police directly - having an incentive program to have people go around recording and reporting this sort of crime if not the sort of world I want to live in.

Yes I want those type of crimes punished and enforcement, no I do not want the masses to be working in an "all seeing eye" capacity for that to take place.

If you can't understand that the nuance there then I won't have much to discuss with you.

Regarding #2 is that not an OPTION that may or may not get turned on?

Regarding #1 you are correct that DRIVING is a privilege however property ownership is a RIGHT and I'm assuming we aren't talking about a vehicle in motion when we are talking about the police unable to contact an owner.

I think the difference is historically the average person wasn't doing a lot of surveillance where as an office place did.

Many people do not want their cameras in the doors, property, cars, etc being used by the police for cases that do not directly impact them.... they do not want to be involved, same as many "witnesses" will simply say they didn't see or know anything and be uncooperative.

As cameras start becoming more and more built into every day items many people suddenly can find themselves thrust into situations they want nothing to do with, so sure search warrants have existed forever but the chance of it impacting the average non-involved party were pretty slim, that chance is growing and people dislike it.

So if the camera is in your car you are ok with them towing it away to pull the footage if they can't get in touch with you right away leaving you without a car?

What if while looking at your footage for a crime outside your home (not related to you or your property) they see you doing something that could constitute a charge should they be able to share you for it as well?

If someone saw you out in front of your house on your phone during the time of the crime should the authorities be able to seize your phone under the assumption that you were likely recording the incident?

Just tossing a product link into the discussion without any context isn't overly useful - why are you recommending (or are you) and why should I be clicking on that?

when you start offering monetary rewards for non-serious crime reporting you end up where the number of reports will outrun the resources of the reviewers and eventually have someone be required to "protest" the report and claim they are innocent putting a burden on them rather than the burden being on the authorities to prove you've done something wrong first.

Look at things like DMCA reporting on youtube and how it can be abused.

I'm not an expert and I'm not one to get many tickets however my understanding is that they only look up individuals during renewal time or if you change policy or company.

If you got a speeding ticket on week 10 of the year there is unlikely to be any increase on your insurance on week 35.

Like I said this was my perhaps incorrect understanding of how it works here in Canada.

And what exactly have you accomplished in your life that has bettered others' lives?

Don't get me wrong it's perfectly fine to criticize someone on specific things - however, you are just blanket calling someone you don't know a sad loser... honestly says more about you than him.

"the world goes on"

This reeks of an answer given by someone who simply hasn't been impacted by an of this yet - I'm sure for those who HAVE been impacted the world didn't simply "go on" it caused real stress, problems, issues for them.

I don't see Envy there - simply truth.

It's a lux brand at a premium price, an item many people buy to be in a social group rather than focusing as fitness tool, and there are cheaper and arguably better solutions available out there.

Do you debate any of those statements?

From the site you cited:

* Feb 1 2014 MAX 5.5 °C HR MEAN -7.8 °C MEAN M/M -8.3 °C MIN -21.3 °C

* Feb 1 2024 MAX 15.7 °C HR MEAN 1.3 °C MEAN M/M 1.3 °C MIN -8.2 °C

* Jan 1 2014 MAX 7.5 °C HR MEAN -8.3 °C MEAN M/M -8.6 °C MIN -24.2 °C

* Jan 1 2024 MAX 6.5 °C HR MEAN -2.3 °C MEAN M/M -2.1 °C MIN -15.5 °C

* Dec 1 2023 MAX 13.1 °C HR MEAN 2.7 °C MEAN M/M 2.7 °C MIN -4.9 °C

Looking at the MEANs shows the real story - as well as seeing that the Mins are getting nowhere close to what they used to.

Also I live here, snow volumes have been low enough that I no longer need a snowblower. I used to build a backyard rink and haven't been able to properly last couple of years because the weather is too mild and I can't enough solid time that it'll be frozen. Public outdoor rinks (that aren't artificially chilled) suffer the same fate and are rarely if ever available.

Even in Ottawa where at this time a decade ago people would have been skating on the Canal for weeks by now - it's still not frozen over and open for the public.

look up the wet hourly rental cost for the plane youd be considering and use that as a guideline.

rental costs (wet) will include allowances for maintence and fuel variability and be "over" enough to cover additional costs that yiu may not be able to avoid if your not at scale.
