I guess that delivery robot need pedestrian right and law to deal with this issue then, while the lady need to deal with the court.

    Well, it is one thing to protest against delivery bots and another to block delivery, preventing a customer from perhaps receiving a vital shipment. With the blockade the client is harmed and not so much the company.

    Yeah, "disorderly conduct" can mean basically whatever the pigs want it to.

  • So we would hope, but recently someone got 50 years (in Britain, but these legal realities aren't too much different for us in statesia right now) for protesting in favor of Palestinian Action. And the fifth circuit just, I don't know how to describe it, exists.

    So the courts should function as a check on executive overreach and malfeasance, right? Problem is that word should does a lot of lifting.

    We need more of this. Not, just because "they take our jobs" but because we need to normalize every day minor means of resistance to the tech dystopia we are in. Not because they are individual acts that will somehow change things. But, I'd be a proud parent if the way my kid gets in trouble is not from smoking cigarettes or something, but placing a traffic cone on top of a parked Waymo, I'm all for that.

    So once the sidewalks are congested with delivery robots walking anywhere will be impeding deliveries.

    It's wild but you'll see people more quickly call for "property damage" type crimes than you will when someone is incapacitated or hurt and all alone.

    You know, I felt a deep sense of shame when Philly murdered HitchBot. Now, I'm thinking they were just ahead of the curve.

    Meanwhile the disabled person at home, unable to go out easily, waiting for their delivery...

    Not all uses of these modern app-based delivery systems are people being lazy.
