> 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.

Be careful of what you wish for. You might wish to look at your local municipal/county/parish/state laws. I likely break dozens of laws/ordinances every day and I'm very positive you do as well, without even knowing it.

I am very saddened that I have to spell this out. I don't know whether you use NextDoor, throwawaysea. Would you be willing to post this under your real name in NextDoor and share the link here?

Any examples?

There is a book, "Three Felonies a Day" that may interest you. The suggestion is that essentially all of us are committing at least three felonies a day. I have not tried to verify the claims made in the book.

Thanks. I have a hard time finding concrete examples from the book but I get the impression that it's partly due to the US judicial system (I'm not from the US). Would be nice to see the top felonies people unknowingly commit on a daily basis.

It's by the way really annoying that my question gets downvoted by zealous users who think I'm trying to make some kind of point when I was just genuinely interested. This site feels like a big aggressive battlefield nowadays, where everyone is just arguing and no-one is discussing like normal curious human beings.

I think that's how life and a fraction of the people in a large group tend to be everywhere.

And sometimes can be good to try to guess how others will interpret one's intentions, and write sth to sort out misunderstandings before they happen

But not always easy to guess / remember to
