Comment on Canada to ban the Flipper Zero to stop surge in car thefts

They should really try banning car theft, it’s a lot more direct and to the point.

I’m confused, do you think that systemic issues aren’t a major factor in all crime, especially theft?
FireRetardant@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I do think its a factor, i dont think the solution is just letting car theives walk away because they are in a tough spot.

I didn’t see the comments that said we should let car thieves walk away

Them: if someone’s getting caught stealing their third car then clearly jail doesn’t work to stop them from doing that and maybe we should think of trying something else?
You: they want to just let car thieves walk free!
See what makes you look silly?

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !canada@lemmy.ca

But at least they can persecute tinkerers and cyber security professionals while the criminals continue to steal cars.
It’s win-win for the POS in law enforcement. They create more crime stats for themselves to ensure their increased funding.

Even better, tinkerers and cyber security professionals are easy to find and there’s a much lower chance of them fighting back compared to actual car thieves so it’s very low risk for the police. They get to be lazy and safe while padding their numbers, all their favorite things at once.
