What? Let's assume that all police were carrying smart guns. Non-smart guns would still be a thing; they wouldn't magically disappear all of a sudden. So how would the fact that the officer's primary gun is a smart gun prevent an officer from keeping a second drop gun to plant on someone?

It�s the recycling truck and the other bins are for garbage.

Maybe.

It drives past all the green garbage bins and stops at the blue recycle bin.

but if cops had to have biometric guns, they wouldn't be allowed to regular old guns, making it a lot harder to carry a drop gun. Sure it wouldn't eliminate it, but it would probably drastically reduce it

The idea is it would be part of a system with an always-running-while-on-duty body cam, GPS, and other metrics. It would make it harder (not impossible) for officers to falsify shooting incidents. Several have been caught already planting drop guns and drugs even with the basic bodycams in use today.

That said, current biometric auth methods are a joke and are no where near ready for something as critical as life-safety of a firearm.

When I was little I was fascinated by construction equipment and garbage trucks being pretty close to that I watched them come by every week and knew our regular guys names and birthdays and made birthday cards for them and picked out Christmas presents etc...

It is definitely a thing.

The Real Amethyst: Apr 20, 2018; When no one was looking, Serval took forty Japari buns. She took 40 buns. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.

I had a toy garbage truck as a kid and i would put real garbage in it. It was awesome!

From an OSHA perspective, I read that garbage collectors get stung by wasps and bee's multiple times per day and I was like drat that's a pretty horrible work place hazard to endure.

By definition a "drop gun" is a gun that doesn't have any link to the officer, and therefore is outside regulations. "Regular old guns" wouldn't just magically disappear from the population at large, even if they were made illegal. During the course of their work, cops tend to recover guns, some/most of which would be "regular old guns", giving crooked cops a source of "regular old guns" to use as drop guns. Biometric guns wouldn't fix the drop gun problem.

I'm not really disagreeing you, except to ask what more do you want that current body cams don't provide, which would require a biometric gun to implement?

I loved the garbage truck as a kid. I don't know why; kids are stupid.

Whenever I get a follow or a like on my Flickr, I generally check back to see who is doing that, see what kind of stuff they are producing, maybe drop them a reciprocal follow or something if they are cool. I've seen Flickr accounts full of nothing but thousands of photos of city buses (the same city buses, from the same smallish city), accounts of nothing but electricity pylons, accounts full of nothing but manhole covers. No matter how mundane and pointless somethign may be, there's guaranteed to be someone obsessively cataloguing it.

Also the music they would play would be something by Fun Lovin' Criminals.

Maybe your city just got some new ones with weird new loading mechanisms and you wanted to share the unusual system with people, either because you want to discuss how silly it is (like we did), or because you're a garbage truck weirdo, of which I'm 100% sure there are some because there's basically nothing that doesn't have at least a few people really excited about it.
