I've worn one, you forget it's there fairly quickly. It really isn't a big deal. I wore it for a month (2 of them @ 2weeks each) and it wasn't a big deal at all. Ijust wanted to watch how my eating affected my glucose in almost real time.


Agnostic, but I'll throw my prayers in for this one


unless you're willing to do it, then I don't think you can ask others to do it. garbage bag = small dismeanor, sawsall = felony


You probably want the felony because it's less likely to stick, especially in the court of public opinion.

Lawyer costs the same per hour either way.


I don't think prosecutors generally are very motivated to pursue tiny misdemeanor fines unless they have slam dunk evidence.

As far as I can tell, the most likely charges for the garbage bag strategy where I'm located would be a maximum $500 fine, which is too low for most people to even bother with a lawyer.

If they wanted any jail time, they would have to try to frame it as obstruction of justice, which is a stretch and would be difficult to get to stick with a jury.


> Lawyer costs the same per hour either way.

Sounds like someone who's never had to hire a lawyer before. They vary in cost and quality, and there's not a 1:1 correlation between the two. There's also many different areas, eg real estate vs corporate vs labor vs immigration vs criminal.


I believe so, but they'll drag their feet on getting it back to the person


well hopefully this snowballs and most public facing cameras other than private ones by people and businesses go extinct (state run cameras). We don't need to be recording every citizen's movement "just in case" . Society got along for thousands of years without it, and the potential for ever increasing tendency toward authoritarian regimes points to such surveillance as a terrible mistake in any society striving for a democracy.


Sometimes the only way is civil disobedience to get the point across to paid off politicians and ones that overly friendly to sacrificing our rights to may the cops happy.


it does, and works almost as well as ublock for most things, but isn't nearly as flexible.


sometimes the "law" is wrong and the public has to show the people they voted for that it is wrong through civil disobedience.


They're doing the Lord's work


Yeah I've been saying this for years, throw all the bums out. It takes them losing power to get the message.
