So...this is for porn.

Only if those subreddits have something where the user... creating that gets a portion of every subscription payment.

The only really active communities I've seen are the tech communities and the politics/ news communities. So, yeah, I agree with the other guy: I'm looking forward to much more variety.

Ah, ok, so it was a mechanical failure, not a software glitch.

except for the two times it got stuck in a boot loop until the battery died.

Did the emergency shut-off (holding down the volume down and power buttons at the same time) not work?

I admittedly only knew it wasn't self-snitching because I read another comment from someone that had actually read the article.

I did check to confirm before I actually commented myself, though.

This was several years ago, so the law in my state may have changed, but I do remember reading that dashcam footage submitted by a civilian can't be used by police to issue a ticket after the fact. It can be used as evidence for or against someone if the police do get involved, though.

To put it another way, the officer has to witness the traffic offense themselves in order to issue a ticket. But dashcam footage could be used as evidence to prove someone either was or was not speeding after the ticket was already issued.

The vehicle doesn't self-snitch. It snitches on other vehicles around it. It apparently uses cameras to do it. It'd only be able to tell cops where the vehicle was when the picture was taken, not where it is.

This is like asking a website to respect robots.txt.

I'm curious if this would actually hold up in court as evidence that a person was speeding.

For that to happen, the app needs to actually work. Otherwise, it's not staying on my phone.

For better or worse, I have a school account linked to my OneDrive (makes it easy to hop on a school computer to work on stuff), so at least I probably won't see this.
