Yeah, this article title is idiotic. The police need a warrant to take your property if you aren't suspected in the crime. This is no different to having on-premise security camera recordings. The cops can't just come in and take your equipment, they need a warrant. If you give up that right, that's your choice, but it's more than likely this Canadian has no idea what happened and made up the details.
From the article:
And it sound like it’s happened in Oakland at least three times now. I’d love to see the warrants that the judges signed off on to see how the cops described things…
"The car was nearby and might contain footage."
It isn't like getting a warrant is a huge step, but at least it is a slight hurdle.
Getting a warrant to seize an uninvolved person's property, especially a vehicle, actually is a pretty big hurdle.
Apparently not.
... so you agree with me. Thanks.
So you stopped at the title then.
Makes me wonder where OP got his doctorate.
I just realized which community this was. Thanks for making me wonder what was wrong with the people in here enough to look.
Nah, the Tesla community here isn't as musk'ed as you would expect. Mainly because you and me coming from the main page are more people than it has active subscribers.
Just look at the posts in the community and compare them to reddit or something.
Yet the desperation to be victims is as high as ever. This article isn't believable at all, the cameras on the cars are useless, they odds of capturing a crime are near zero. But everyone here just believes it out of hand.
Hilarious stuff.
The part where I talk about the canadian proves otherwise. So you stopped at my first sentence?
"The cops aren't allowed to do that because its IlLeGaL"
Lol
Careful you don't cut yourself on all that edge
IF they care about the charges sticking and aren't just trying to fuck with you or bankrupt you with the court system because they're cops and have had no consequences for a very long time.
The canadian aledging the cops were going to impound their vehicle? Why would the cops involve them in any way whatsoever? The alleged perpetrator had nothing to do with the car, so I'm not sure how that does anything to them.
