> Civil rights and privacy advocates have raised concerns about how the feature streamlined the reporting of suspicions about minor offenses, encouraging police to follow up on what would have otherwise been casual observations on social media.

Why is this a problem? Minor offenses are still offenses and they can often be very frustrating and problematic. They still deserve police attention where they constitute a violation of the law. Streamlining the process is a positive not negative, and the framing here just seems like these activist groups don’t want people to be held accountable.

You are of course correct about minor offenses.

I suggest you show the courage of your convictions, and do a few hour's research on exactly how much is illegal at present.

Then, turn yourself in for only the Federal crimes you've committed in the past year.

We'll never see you again, of course, but it's a small price to pay.

You can both disagree with petty laws for minor violations and still want prohibitions against theft or public disturbances enforced in your neighborhood.
