Great example of slippery slope privacy invasion in action. These stingray device were introduced for "counter terrorism" because who would support terrorists.
Everyone supports terrorists. The difference is if you support the state doing terrorism. If you're using violence for political gain, that's the definition of terrorism. States do that all the time. That's one of the primary roles of police in the US in fact.
Tbh, I do. I do support terrorists. Funnily enough, they're not rarely the more moral party (in my kinda twisted sense of morality, anyway).
One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
So they are often the more moral party?
