A Virginia man inadvertently left his phone recording while he was under anesthesia for a colonoscopy, which captured audio of the doctors: mocking him, instructing a medical assistant to lie to him, and discussing giving him a false diagnosis of hemorrhoids. In 2015, a jury awarded him $500,000.

Mass surveillance in every avenue of society except where it's often needed the most.

Organizations are allowed to fuck people, but people can't fuck organizations. This is a core problem with our society. A bank can open up accounts for people who never asked for them and still be operational after the fact. If the ATM gives you extra money by mistake you better return it or you're going to jail for 30 years after they send a SWAT team to your apartment.

Yes they will instantly send out half the force for store/bank robbery in progress and send detectives to figure out the case down the road, but take 30+ minutes to send 1-2 officers when you report an active home invasion and then tell you your insurance should cover it and there's nothing they can do. And then when you find the people who broke into your home and stole your stuff on Facebook with pictures of your missing guitars and gaming systems for sale they say it's a civil matter and remind you that your insurance should reimburse you (this happened to a family I know who lives near me)

Cops only protect means of production

Not the workers

They are paid pension bribes to step on our necks, and they are trained to view themselves "over" civilians
