Which is exactly what I would expect from a hexbear. Like I said, in the end it was just a cover for your authoritarian need to police other people's choices and behavior.
It's clear that we have a fundamental difference in values here that aren't reconcilable.
I thought this was strictly about the problems with cleanup? Why are you suddenly pivoting to "safety"? Could it be that this was all just a cover for your need to police other people's choices and behavior?
And yet people do this as a result of unintentional accidents (like car accidents) all the time, but you don't seem to be up in arms about cleaning up the scattered garbage from these other preventable accidents.
Or about the other unsecured garbage that may be thrown from a car accident specifically, for that matter.
Or about the gore that comes from other fatal accidents that were preventable. It's always just seatbelts with you people for some reason.
a) the chance is that happening is so low as to be completely irrelevant. Note that you even used "might" when describing this incredibly unlikely event.
b) that's part of the job, just like gore and dead bodies are part of the job for doctors. Again, this should be discounted entirely, especially when making choices that restrict people's freedom.
That's fair, but it just frustrates me the way that people bend over backwards to justify what is clearly an excuse for bastard cops to a) fill their coffers and b) more importantly, find an easy excuse to pull you over and violate your rights even further.
Everyone is acting like this is about safety, and about "the trauma of poor road cleaners", but the cops and legislators who put this in place don't give a fuck about your safety, and they certainly don't give a fuck about the trauma of blue collar road workers - they just want to give themselves more opportunities to arrest brown people, and it's ridiculous that the people in here spouting ACAB all over Lemmy don't recognize that.
