Unpopular opinion: I’d rather have fully automated computer policing for low level enforcement (fare evasion, running red lights, etc) than human cops.

There are still human cops in both cases though. It’s just in one case they have facial recognition cameras all over the place and know your every move. I get what you’re saying though.

One time I jumped the turnstile in bushwick and the cop told me to take my hands out of my jacket (it was the middle of water) because he thought I was gonna pull out a gun. Lol.

I dont disagree. There just needs to be some security guarantees to ensure that data isn't used for any other reason.

With the constant pust towards hyper surveillance, I just want it done ethically.

Agreed. Human cops are too fucking dangerous.
