Bart keeps shitting the bed (pardon my French). Last night I was headed home from the Concord Thursday Night Ride and at Macarthur they announced there was no service through the Transbay Tube due to an equipment failure. Luckily a friend was able to pick me up at West Oakland.
@scott It sounds like you were saying that cars shouldn't have license plates at all because they could be used for surveillance. If they weren't capable of killing people I might agree; for instance I think the idea of bikes being required to have plates is silly.
@scott You don't think that people being able to move around totally invincibly and invisibly might not bring out their best angels? Like isn't that one of the reasons people hate cops, that they're above accountability?
It feels like the way people will blur out any license plates visible in pictures they take is a result of people expecting real life to be like the internet. They're so used to anonymity that a license plate being visible is like "doxing" someone.
