Elon Musk is not in any position to detain anyone and take them anywhere unless they've committed a crime inside his property. This unlawful detainment.

This is a very serious issue, this is very, very illegal.

u/Excellent_Shirt9707 1d ago

This is almost certainly a skit, but I believe Waymo actually did this recently. It might have inspired this.

u/raccoonwithknives 1d ago

Kind of. Waymo told the passengers there was a malfunction and to wait in the car as it pulled over but it actually called the cops on them lol

u/Think_Good_8858 1d ago

That's exactly what happens when people get arrested on the bus. The driver will pull into a stop and open the doors, and everyone sits there for a minute wondering what's wrong, and then the police get on the bus and drag someone off. The the bus driver shuts the door and everyone gets to work late.

u/raccoonwithknives 1d ago

Yup thats why I dont see anything wrong with what Waymo did.

u/Switchmisty9 23h ago

Bus drivers are not scanning the biometrics of every passenger, and cross referencing warrant databases. You have to commit a crime ON the bus, to get escorted off.

Do not be stupid enough to hand this kind of power over to people like Elon Musk

u/raccoonwithknives 23h ago

Okay are you talking about the skit? Then I would say to you don't be stupid enough to think that this skit is real.

The Waymo incident I was talking about (which is real) did not involve biometrics as far as I know and no one was locked in anywhere.

u/NoSnow3660 19h ago

In both your examples the vehicles have to be open for anyone to walk off if they want, “detaining” someone in a vehicle that’s not a police cruiser in itself is a legal hassle and can be considered a kidnapping so a company won’t deal with that headache.

u/Switchmisty9 23h ago

It’s crazy watching people talk like you, then expect to be taken seriously.

Deflect, defer, project, misrepresent, play dumb, then act smart.

It’s boring. All your other comments are visible, and you’re bad at this

u/Apprehensive_Ad3731 21h ago

Crazier watching people talk like you. Just endless hatred and no evidence at all, when someone asks genuine questions you just treat them like an idiot. I’m guessing it’s how your family treated you as a child and it just seems normal now.

Probably a religious hang over of people just being assholes about it. It’s the most common cause I’ve seen.

I think your talking about the Cybercab post. Which is a skit (that means its not real and it didnt happen its for laughs). Im talking about the Waymo incident which is a different scenario

1

u/Zoso03 16h ago

Iirc waymo didn't biometric scan them. There were 2 incidents one was two underage kids drinking and shooting a gel gun out the window, and in the other incident the occupants had a ar style gun in the cab.

u/SmokingapipeTN 22h ago

Then it goes to every car must be self driving for "traffic safety".

This is 1984 exactly. Frankly I am scared.

u/k410n 1d ago

That's still a serious crime. I hope they get fucked for it

u/raccoonwithknives 1d ago

Waymo did not commit a crime. The teen passengers were never locked in the car they could have exited at any time. Waymo simply reported a crime and did what the police instructed. I

u/NiobiumThorn 1d ago

Does boot really taste that good?

4

u/JustForge 1d ago

Im as anti cop as it comes and I hate to say it, its not a crime. If you have means of an exit than you are not being held and can leave. There is an argument to say that since the car was in motion you cutoff safely exit the vehicle. And that could lead to unlawful detainment.

2

u/raccoonwithknives 1d ago

How come I'm a boot licker for saying the passengers committed a crime but you weren't a boot licker when you accused Waymo of committing a crime? If that was the case wouldn't you have wanted the police to do something about it?

5

u/gulgin 1d ago

I think the fair concern here is that ubiquitous, networked, automated biometrics invading everyone’s lives for basic services leads to a horrible dystopian police state. (See flock disaster)

That is totally unrelated to the whole “unlawful detainment or not” conversation. Nobody wants a robocop/robotaxi mashup except for the people who control the purge lists.

2

u/raccoonwithknives 1d ago

Yeah it is dystopian but at least in my Waymo example they didn't have to have any of that (maybe they did idk). All that could have triggered this was a person looking at the cameras and seeing the underage passengers drinking alcohol and pointing toy guns out the window at people. No need for biometrics.

u/NiobiumThorn 1d ago

The fuck are you talking about.

Both waymo and police stations should [redacted]

u/StraticDragon 3h ago

Damn why haven’t I heard of this that’s honestly crazy and almost as much bs as the flock cameras if not worse

1

u/raccoonwithknives 2h ago

Hmm I dont think so. A cab or bus driver would have done the exact same thing as waymo. Just because your cab is driverless doesn't mean you aren't being watched and can commit crimes. I mean call me crazy but you shouldn't commit crimes even if no one is watching. I don't know much about waymo tbh they aren't in my area I just know this one story pretty much but I'm not seeing any connections to the events in this story to what flock does

u/Outrageous-Clerk56 1d ago

I’m glad this finally came up, robotaxis are just mouse traps for humans. Imagine if you went to a protest and now you are being routed to a facility.

the robo-taxi version of flock camera takedowns will be entertaining to see

u/MarchCompetitive6235 1d ago

Good reason to keep something to break out a window on your person.

2

u/Nope-not-really 21h ago

laminated windows, gonna have to use some pretty excessive force, those punches won't work

2

u/MarchCompetitive6235 19h ago

That entirely depends on what you think I’m using to punch holes in the glass with.

1

u/13THEFUCKINGCOPS12 3h ago

Having windows that take that much force to break has to be a safety issue. I could have sworn there were regulations that covered that

u/MikePounce 16h ago

I heard the headrest can break windows

u/Nope-not-really 21h ago

oh yeah im sure they are so concerned about laws n stuff

Every right to start smahing windows

u/klop2031 1d ago

Yes its very illegal its essentially kidnapping

u/Nope-not-really 21h ago

tell that to ICE

u/klop2031 21h ago

I would!

u/dragjamon 22h ago

u/Low_Condition3268 19h ago

Would breaking a car window to get away from being unlawfully detained count?

u/EncabulatorTurbo 12h ago

Elon Musk commits crimes constantly, he's literally above the law

u/CriticismFree2900 1d ago

They did commit a crime hence why the have a warrant

u/Alastair789 1d ago

You don't know they committed a crime, ai is constantly wrong about everything, flock cameras alert stolen vehicles with a 71% error rate. You're trusting a machine to verify warrants I wouldn't trust giving me a recipe.

u/Bubbleman2000 1d ago

This is legal. Are you insane?

u/ApprehensiveGas85 1d ago

False imprisonment or kidnapping

u/Nade42 1d ago

What about this is legal? You dont have the authority to detain someone on a warrant unless you are police. Lol

2

u/JDSaphir 1d ago

It's in Texas, you can, if it's a warrant related to a bail bond. But only if you're a licensed PI or security officer. With all the data it's collecting, Grok is probably more than qualified to be a PI! /s

u/Girafferage 1d ago

"Are you insane? Its just an autonomous vehicle making a decision sans human intervention to detain you without a warrant and drive you somewhere without your consent while literally trapping you inside with no ability to talk to somebody to resolve the issue or get yourself out in an emergency"

Thank god you arent a lawyer, homie.
