Fear the Future

It is too early in the day for me to deal with this.  I don't really need to go into why this is a bad idea, do I?  Other than the sheer intrusiveness, the idea of police departments picking winners in the smart phone market is a little... strange.

If police need an app like this, they shouldn't use public funds to buy retardedly expensive phones.  Police do not need an app like this though, as there's already a public option in place.  It's a nifty little device called the driver's license.  Sure, that may be just as eeeeevil in the strict libertarian sense of the word but its already here, and it's cheap. 

We know that government creep will never end, but we don't need to speed the process.
