That seems like a bit of slippery slope. Unless I'm missing something, why would we be okay with one but not the other?

I'm not cool with illegal street racers who endanger the public and cause a ruckus in residential areas either, but I'm also definitely not cool with FPD using drones to creep on you and me. It is virtually the same as searching for potential wrongdoing via flock camera. Where do we draw the line on allowing ourselves to be watched and monitored potentially on our very own property?

I don't know what the best solution is here, but there should be some consistency on the matter, no? Can anyone shed some more light on this to make it make sense to those of us who are confused on the "laws for thee but not for me" mentality on this?

EDIT: To clarify, I entirely understand that drones & flock cameras are not literally the same thing. I understand that drones in law enforcement can be extremely useful in surveying dangerous situations and even help in finding missing people! Thats great! But secretive drone fishing-surveillence is NOT OKAY. Plain and simple. Regardless of AI involvement, it is still not immune from being potentially misused to conduct illegal stalking and surveillence on the general public.

What a cluster fuck. I swear the traffic is like the demons in their cars approaching the gas station from the movie legion. Is this the only fucking road that the deeper south area has access too? Fuck

Looking at getting new tires before winter. Give me a few good options.

Does anyone know the best shop in the area to get a high-output alternator put in that won’t charge a ton to do it?

I was leaning towards doing it myself, and if it was a direct swap I would. I’ve just never done it before and need this thing to run without issues, and don’t wanna deal with different sized pulleys/belts/connectors so now I’m thinking I should just take it in and stop procrastinating.

It’s going in a camper van, if that changes anything. I just need the alternator to have enough power to run a 40a DC>DC charger without burning out too quick. My alternator is dying anyway so it seems like the right move to upgrade it now.

I’m not sure if most auto shops could do this swap easily or if certain places would be better equipped.

I’d appreciate any advice, and please go easy on me. I’m not from the area originally and my dad wasn’t the kind of guy that fixed things, so I’ve kinda had to figure all of this stuff out myself.

If you're missing a cat near the N. University McDonald's, I saw it chewing on some roadkill squirrel in between the McDs exit and some apartments on the edge of the left bike lane.

Was not there anymore when I went back to check. (The cat; dead squirrel still there, though. You might want to take cat to the vet - if you're the kind of owner who lets them roam themselves into danger.)
