This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

We're still trying to figure out how to give people the power to protect others without giving them the power to abuse others to this very day.

That gives me an idea. If we already have body cams, why not take it a step further and have them transmit in real time to a civilian oversight representative? Maybe give the rep the ability to lock down the gun remotely if it's obvious there's no real danger. No signal, no functioning gun. The idea was explored in Psycho-pass and it seems like a decent balance of power and restraint.

If a cop objects to the idea then you know it would likely go in the right direction.

If memory serves, the whole psycho-pass system was. Uh. Flawed.

Gun should be locked down by default unless the observers ok it.

I think this happened in The Watchmen series
