    It’s interesting to see a modern, POSIX compliant, Unix implementation characterized as a children’s toy. These arguments are simple minded. I develop on a Mac, and deploy it to Linux in most cases. And yes I do understand that this is also possible on widows now - but not my preference.



  • Terry v. Ohio is the reference here. Unless there is articulable suspicion that a crime is afoot, the detention is, by definition, illegal. Driving while brown (or existing while brown) does not qualify as articulable suspicion of a crime. Therefore, this is an illegal detention - otherwise known as kidnapping. Defending yourself against kidnapping is an understandable position one might take. It might be unwise however, given the criminal justice system is overwhelmingly stacked in favor of law enforcement. That is a personal choice we are free to make so long as we understand the likely consequences of our actions.
