    They’re either intelligent enough to recognize that somethings are tracked for a reason, or they’re dumb enough to believe that people should be trusted to make intelligent decisions while driving on roads we all pay for. The same as with guns and cars. Both are deadly and so are somewhat comparable in this situation.

    Also, they were absolutely championing the idea of being a shithead since they advocated for running red lights but having a license that is a police officers. You’re still guilty of the act.

      Guns are used to shoot. Cars are used to drive around.

      I couldn’t possibly care less if the government knew exactly where and when people shoot what guns. I care that the government tracks where anyone is going at all times (because cars are required to exist in a lot of the world). The reason the government might track guns is to tell where they’re going and to ideally curb sales to criminals, whereas the reason the government might (does) track cars is straight up surveillance.
