And how many innocent citizens will die when the SWAT Team picks the wrong house or the data in the database is wrong?
This is a really stupid action by CA. This will not end well for the State or the Citizens.
A database with 20,000 names? Do you know the accuracy of the data? Anyone who has ever worked with a Government Database is aware of Garbage In/Garbage Out.
They’re likely counting on that scenario to say “See? See? We are right to confiscate these!”
Hopefully the California Freepers (Neverdem, IIRC, runs the ping list) will become aware of this and make preparations.
