Maybe they could equipt them with powerful microphones that can record the conversations of the people below. They would help with putting a stop to thought crime. The police could then use automated speech analysis to determine if you are comiting thought crime and activate the appropriate response. Afyer the initial reponse they could remove the person and their friends and family from society. It would be a challenging task updating the records to show that these terrorists never existed. You would also need to make sure that the people around are aware that there own memories are wrong. permalink fedilink source parent [–] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 years ago* They don't have a specific objective, and that's the problem. permalink fedilink source parent [–] krolden@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 years ago Political organizers permalink fedilink source parent [–] elouboub@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Did you even read the article? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cobra89@beehaw.org 11 points 3 years ago (2 children) “If a caller states there’s a large crowd, a large party in a backyard, we’re going to be utilizing our assets to go up and go check on the party,” What does "check on" mean?

Best way to prevent this is to just not allow shitty beer at your party. permalink fedilink source parent
