     @eff Please stop me if you're hearing this over and again... so the 2020 implimentation was overturned as being dangerous and invasice, the cops spent two years building up a purpoted crime wave and fanned the flames to have it re-instituted, and it's STILL dangerous and invasice BUT also useless.
     Amirite?
