Two things: One, is that KTLA is reporting on the LAPD complaint that Tic Tok now has videos of kids showing other kids the best way to steal some cars, featuring cars by make, model and year, that are apparently the easiest to steal. And guess what? More of those cars, the LAPD says, are now being stolen.
Somehow this has got to be stopped, but how without stepping on the First Amendment? It’s also a safe bet that young people who are taking over intersections to do “burnouts” with their muscle cars are simply mimicking what they have seen on social media or in the movies.
Are there any adults still in the room?
Our second issue is email alerts. Like getting an alert that you need to update your information on an account. Most of these “alerts” can be ignored, so many are nothing but advertising, but there is always a chance that ignoring a specific alert might cause a problem. I thought if anything was important enough to merit my attention somebody would send me a notice in the real “snail” mail. I’m no longer so sure that’s still the case, or at least if it will be the case going forward.
