Incredibly disappointed that this is the first comment. I honestly expected more from HN readers.

The justice system is so disgustingly broke that we absolutely need dedicated, level-headed people to do these types of "social hacks" to prove it.

It takes willful acts of civil disobedience to create real change, to bring awareness in a way that's difficult to ignore.

Catching the bad guy is not the only thing that matters in law enforcement, but sadly that's what the militarization of police forces is creating: a system where the ends justify the means. You would not be so dismissive if you were the habitual target of police laziness. It takes a lot of work to catch the bad guys without breaking the rules.
