ABSTRACT

This chapter addresses some of the details and consequences of narrowing the range of interactions between armed state agents and citizens who are themselves increasingly armed. It aims to make the normative case for replacing traditional police enforcement with technology. There is a long history of concern that police interact with people differently based on race. That concern is heightened in the era of lawful concealed carry of firearms. Technological interventions have revolutionized the post-arrest phases of law enforcement. The dynamics of the Castile case provoke deeper thinking about episodes where police contact over some trivial regulation ends up with police drawing and pointing guns. Sometimes this escalates into shooting and killing citizens. Existing interventions have focused on police training and incentives. Existing and developing technologies allow enforcement of many of the trivial rules of the regulatory state without the intervention of armed agents.
