A technology that’ll disproportionately benefit the disabled, drunk and disadvantaged while enabling an integrated transport network by making final mile economically feasible is attacked by selfish idiots and of course lemmy supports them because it’s a new technology and apparently people here hate anything new.

Most people on this website already have relative security in life and only pretend to care about the people who are worse off.

Good. Idiots attack these things.

how would this not be considered double jeopardy if they’re already being charged for the crime?
PlantJam@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Criminal prosecution and civil liability are different. If the criminal conviction also includes restitution (pay for the damages) then there likely wouldn’t be a need for a civil suit, but it’s possible that the suit is to go after additional damages. For example, the criminal conviction might include $1000 in restitution to cover the property damage, but the civil suit might ask for money to cover lost revenue for the time the car was out of service.

Do the vandals not think there might be cameras? Like lots of cameras?

The intersection of "Luddite hooligan" and "stops to think about technological capabilities before vandalizing stuff" is not large.

Thinking is not vandals strong suit

Vandalism is an act without much thought behind.
