A recovered theft vehicle gets basically the same branded title as a totally wrecked vehicle in the States.
Even if this ended differently, the car would be impounded for at least a few days while the police search for drugs, weapons, other stolen items and conduct their investigation as to where/how it was stolen, where the thief drove it, what they did at those locations, etc. So the owner is still without a vehicle for a week, and when they do get it back it’s worth significantly less with the newly branded title.

Everyone who deals with scientists knows they assume a perfectly spherical, frictionless, giraffe.

They counted the neighbor kid instead of Kevin while getting into the vans. Kevin’s airplane ticket got thrown out the night before, so it didn’t come up at the airport.

I don’t understand how states can ban an otherwise legal vehicle

Sometimes, yes, yes.

It’s more than just what you do in the app though. Check out some of the data any random website can find out about you here: privacy.net/analyzer/
Expand that into an app, given lots of permissions, that is tied to your phone number and email account. Given enough time and logging, it knows where you live and work, when you commute and sleep, every WiFi or mobile network you connect to and where they are located. This metadata is linked to your account and in-app activity. They have this data for you, your friends, colleagues, that weird guy you see on the bus every day… Right now, the app just uses all this to influence “your algorithm” (side note: this is also why people think some apps are actively ‘listening’ to conversations). But imagine a case where the govt owner of the app wants to start pushing a specific narrative, gradually swaying opinions or sowing the seeds of discourse, reinforcing it with the artificial echo chamber that is your new algorithm. /TedTalk

The problem with the “crop it down” suggestions is that many native 4:3 releases were cropped to be re-released as 16:9… Cropping again to 4:3 would sacrifice even more of the original picture.
