When a voter can't go into a phone store / Apple store and buy a shiny new thing: Boom, recall election.
Presumably assemblyman Titone knows this, and is expecting the bill to do nothing other than provide the usual security theatre. That, or he is dumb as a post. Could go either way :-)
I expect to see congressional level legislation like this very soon. That'll be significantly more interesting.
I thought that businesses would simply create a NY-compliant version, just like I'm sure they create many variations of their existing products for compliancy around the globe. I also don't expect this to stay NY-specific. This sounds like something that would be generally desired by many nations.
Customers need not experience inconvenience if this is done right.
There are obvious reasons why the police would actually want this beyond security theater (PR). It actually makes their job easier.
It makes their job far too easy, which is of course precisely the point. It also makes doing things that are not "their job" at all quite easy, which is the other part of the point.
Yes, that's rather obvious. I'm pointing out why kabdib's perspective is mistaken. Kabdib makes it seem like companies and politicians are going to botch this, and that we'll soon see these measures rolled back.
I'm sure companies and politicians know very well that while you might not be able to organize a get-out-to-vote drive for privacy, you can do so for inconvenience. Compliancy with multiple devices is easy and already done.
