Sev, is there a particular justification for 100%?

The goal is to punish noncompliance with federal law.

Wouldn't 50% do that? Would we be eliminating all federal funding for a police department (and the duty to enforce our mask mandate with it, if I recall correctly) over its failure to surrender confiscated facial recognition cameras?

I decided to vote aye but I don't like the penalty for police. Police should follow the law without having a penalty for not doing it.

I don't know how the face recognition works. The bill removes the camera. I'm wondering if the face recognition is a unit with the camera. Could we ban the software, application from selling to the public but leave the physical cameras to people who have bought them, or it's not possible to separate the two.

Closing the amendment vote. By a vote of 5-2-0-2, FalterinArc's amendment is adopted.

I'm also going to take this time to object to Sev's amendment, so an amendment vote is also open on raising the noncompliance penalty to revoking 100% of federal funds for offending police departments. 72 hours to vote; please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.

I don't agree with 100%, I'm not even sure of the need for 50%.

My amendment. Lets support the police!
Sticking a Middle Finger to Big Brother Act

Be it enacted in both houses of Congress assembled,
Quote

Section 1. Saving Face
a. A "facial recognition camera" is any camera which includes a feature to recognize a person's face.
b. All facial recognition cameras, with the following exceptions, are hereby banned in the Republic of Atlasia.
  i. Smartphones, tablets, and other personal, mobile devices not permanently mounted to a surface shall be exempt from this law.
ii, section 1.b shall not cover the police or federal law enforcement agencies.
c. "Permanently mounted" is defined as any electronic device that ceases to function if unplugged from a power outlet[/b]
d Owners of such devices shall have until July 1, 2021 to dispose of them.
e. Owners may report the exact model to a government website where they will be sent directions to their local police station.
f. Local police stations will collect cameras that are brought to them and provide reimbursement for the value of when the model first reached the public market, adjusted for inflation. These cameras will be turned over to the federal government at once.
. Manufacturers of such devices shall immediately cease production of all such devices. They shall be reimbursed for the costs of their stockpile using current market price if they turn their stockpile over to the federal government.
h. Any person or entity found in violation of parts 2c and 2d may be fined an amount not to exceed $5,000, and shall have such device confiscated.
i. Any police department which fails to turn over cameras received will lose 50% of it's federal funding.
Section 2: The federal government of Atlasia supports our police!
I. We the federal government of Atlasia supports and backs our law enforcement
Ia. We thank them for keeping our cities and society safe from the drags of society.
Ib. We the federal government of Atlasia fully supports their mission.
II. Thank you.

Nay on Sev’s amendment.

Jessica’s amendment will be brought up to a vote after this voting period concludes.

By a vote of 1-6-1-1, Sev's amendment fails to pass.

A vote is now open on Jessica's amendment: 72 hours to vote; please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.

Aye - I don't agree with the wording of this bill 100% but I do agree with what it does, the sentiment behind it, and most of the language therein.

Nay. This addendum is half irrelevant to the bill and half an egregious loophole that the surveillance state will be happy to exploit.
