> While a stolen bike probably isn't that valuable, what matters is that in most places, there's basically no chances that you will be caught.

> And I'm not kidding about the absence of enforcement and low risk of stealing bikes. Here's a NYT journalist filming himself stealing his own bike in New York City to see how people who see him will react. You gotta see this to believe it. He even uses powertools and does it near cops.

You can think of various ways to fast track justice for small crimes, similar to small claims court. You don't need a jury trial for an obvious bike theft.

But you don't even need to get to this stage. If you have 99% conviction rate, people will just stop doing crime, starting with the ones for which crime was just a marginal thing anyway (maybe even for the adrenaline rush), and as a result you'll have even fewer crimes to prosecute. It's a positive feed-back loop.

And you don't need to put people in prison. Something like China's social credit is coming everywhere. Steal a bike, you pay double for everything.

For once, .ngo is more credible. From wikipedia:

> Unlike the more prevalent .org domain, which is also managed by the Public Interest Registry, .ngo will require validation of the registrant's non-governmental status

It's inevitable that in 20 years every living person on this planet will have it's location tracked in real-time.

All kinds of crime will become impossible. Today the police doesn't have resources to spend on stolen packages, bikes or small time muggings.

But with permanent tracking and AI it will be trivial to backtrack any interaction.

And it will be impossible to disable the tracking. Even if you don't have any tracking on you, unless you are literally invisible you'll be tracked through millions of other peoples cameras each day.

Something like Google Street View, but in real time will also exist.
