German courts aren’t special.

It’s actually British courts who are special. And unfortunately Britain has exported their way into all their colonies.

In the British view of the world, it is generally assumed that everybody is lying all the time, even in court. All evidence and all words of witnesses are assumed to belong to one of the parties = lying in their favor (If you don’t like the term “lying” here, you can replace it by “performing a good show”).

In Germany, witnesses belong to nobody (except if they are are involved in the case, or if they are spouse/relatives to one of the people who are involved etc.) and therefore it is generally assumed that they are free to tell the truth.

Well, that’s a continent of 57 different countries.

many police programs incentivize or measure an officers efficiency based on the number of arrests or tickets they produce.

I call that very unethical.

Try harder :) and read the ‘pessimists’ part, too.

Imagine a time when you need it (for example, your old language isn’t spoken anymore where you live)

Some random lawyer.

like German police can and will use your words against you in court.

Again: police records and collects stuff. They do not argue in court.

What the accused has told the police will be usable by all sides equally in court.

Police have to collect proof, whether it works for or against a suspect. Other suspects are possible, too. That follows directly from the general presumption of innocence. Only the judge can end that presumption, with his verdict.

Btw police don’t argue in court.

(Germany here)

This is the way.

You are right LOL: I do not approve. But somehow I like the lazy approach :)

Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. Never for you.

What shitty country is that?

Look at these equations:

1^3 = 1^2

1^3 + 2^3 = (1+2)^2

1^3 + 2^3 +3^3 = (1+2+3)^2

1^3 + 2^3 +3^3 +4^3 = (1+2+3+4)^2

Question:

Can it go on like this forever, is it always a true equation? If yes, why? If no, why?

Don’t you complain when you have paid for 7 but got 9! 😉

Lots of companies earned a ton of investment funding

But even the investments are focusing now on fewer, large companies.

In the dotcom era, investment funding was falling on everyone, like the rain.

In the dotcom era things were easy. You could set up a website and make a business out of it in no time. Small effort. If it didn’t perform, you deleted it and tried the next one.

No “Big Tech” that was ruling and owning everything, like today. The existing telco’s were actually big, but they had no clue. Lawmakers had no clue either.

About 15 years ago there was a saying that optimists are learning Russian now.

Pessimists Chinese.

In your scenario I think the user gets what other Us users get, because they use fingerprinting, this means they check more than just the IP.
