But putting a cone on its hood should be a crime. Vandalism or obstruction of some flavor. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [+] raccoona_nongrata@beehaw.org 7 points 3 years ago* [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] TomSwirly@toot.community 2 points 3 years ago @rgb3x3 @raccoona_nongrata "Vandalism, n, action involving deliberate destruction of or damage to public or private property." Obstruction as a crime means "an act that involves unduly influencing, impeding, or otherwise interfering with the justice system". permalink fedilink source parent [–] T0RB1T@beehaw.org 1 point 3 years ago But putting a cone on its hood should be a crime. What a wild take. "Ah yes, we should be protecting capital at all costs." A traffic cone is not damaging the property, or hurting anyone. It just damages their bottom line a little bit. It's not even like the car is personal property, someone's only mode of transportation. And if it were, it wouldn't matter, because a human can just remove a cone. I find it hilarious and unhinged that people will genuinely suggest that something as minor as placing a traffic cone on the hood of a robotaxi should be criminalized. permalink fedilink source parent
