DUIs and proprietary software
dimanche 18 juin 2017 à 02:00People convicted of drunk driving are being ordered to install additional proprietary software in their computers (mobile phones): specifically, the nonfree apps for Uber and Lyft.
The one for Uber spies on the user.
I wonder what the judge would do when the defendant has no mobile phone. I fear this judge might order the person to carry a mobile phone. Mobile phones' movements and usage can be tracked and monitored by absolutely anyone, so being required to carry one is a big injustice.
There are occasions when it is legitimate for a court to require someone to wear a tracker, but such an order should always be explicit, not camouflaged behind "always have a mobile phone."
