  • The statement is but an option, of course you couldn’t handle your phone handcuffed, that would be extremely difficult.

    It’s merely a countermeasure prior to any altercations with officers, most phones automatically restarts if you press the power button for a few seconds.

    I don’t think having to resort to such things is cool, but I indeed had to do this once .

    Where I live cops often unlawfully search you and check whatever they want. I was stopped at a traffic light, on the guise of a “drugs operation”. Told the officer I’d pick my license and car register, picked those and restarted my phone in 5 seconds. Got out of the car, they searched and soon released me.

    In this case nothing happend, but if you’re somewhere where cops search unlawfully, and you were not stopped near an alleyway that cops can beat your password out of you with a wrench, I’d totally say you should restart your phone.

    That’s the problem, only switching the transportation method isn’t enough, there’s a whole infrastructure behind that needs to be built.

    In most city centers you can kinda refurbish pre-existing systems, but in suburbs you need to build from scratch, and the distances are way bigger which imposes another challenge.

    Don’t get me wrong, im all for it, but we need to acknowledge these problems first.











  • Your point about Kelvin true, you still need to do some converting, but as I said, the day to day use ultimately depends if you were raised using either.

    Using me as an example, I completely understand that 10~15C outside is freezing, 22~27 is okay, 30~36 is hot and 40+ is scalding.

    You could make this same point about fahrenheit and both are true, I have no ideia what 100F feels like, or 10 or 40 or 160.
