Nah, much like the app it’s all about plausible deniability. It’ll be crap… but they’ll just make it give positive matches to as many people as possible so they can be dragged off.

It's just some grift economy.

> When performing his work as an undercover agent, Arctor goes by the name "Fred" and wears a "scramble suit" that conceals his identity from other officers. Then he is able to sit in a police facility and observe his housemates through "holo-scanners", audio-visual surveillance devices that are placed throughout the house.

When will we need to start wearing "scramble suits"

This is pretty much all federal government now.

> A U.S. Marshals Service spokesperson said the task force attempted to arrest Reinoehl, and officers shot him after he produced a gun and fled on foot. The team included officers from the Pierce County Sheriff's Department

Wait, Pierce County? That County's border is miles away from unincorporated Lacey, and the "center" is effectively 30 miles (Lacey is a tri-city with Olympia and Tumwater, and Pierce County's seat is Tacoma). Why PCSO, and not Thurston County SO?

Well, the other agencies involved (like the WA DOC, which was an odd inclusion) don't (or didn't, this was 2020) wear bodycams. TCSO... does. PCSO... doesn't.

There was already a belief that he would not survive an encounter with LE, but without commenting on that, it's odd that you'd choose not to involve the agency who would ordinarily be responsible for that geographic area, just to use one from the next county.

So no bodycam footage of his final moments exists.

But when Democrats are back in power, they'll be for it. They'll issue these these exact same smart glasses, from this same vendor, to all law enforcement as the way to "Eliminate Trump's ICE."

But seriously, it's a great idea. I mean, just look how well healthcare as a corporate benefit has worked out!
