Cops can't be trusted to act in good faith regardless of the circumstances, so I'm going with dystopian.

Imagine if immigrants or trans folks had done this at some point in the past

In that case we would have an easy way to take out the trash and still no will to do so.

Don't worry this'll be shut down shortly due to racial disparities.

You can't just register 90% of the black residents!

I think being a police officer or living in Baltimore is an intellectual disability these days.

A more useful database would be one of streamers and public-facing grassroot entertainers, to be cross-referenced whenever a SWAT request comes in for them.

Or, when an anonymous tip comes in, ask for a warrant instead of just bashing the door down, and get denied for everything but a wiretap and financial transaction logs.

How long before it’s used to target people? Probably only a few months.

Taking the longshot long-term bet, I see.

Baltimore-based civil rights lawyer Cary Hansel wrote in a comment to Baltimore Police’s Facebook
...
“Imagine if immigrants or trans folks had done this at some point in the past,” Hansel wrote. “The current federal regime is already demanding voter roles and using state driver’s license data to wrongly stop and detain people.”

>"Civil rights lawyer"
>Can't spell "voter rolls" correctly

Yeah, that tracks.
