I dunno. “Don’t attribute to malice that which can be sufficiently explained by stupidity.” I can totally believe that the average police officer has not thought this through. “5 hours of footage! We don’t have 5 hours to look for one bike.”

Yes and those rules produce fewer emissions per capita than places like the US. Do you not understand what “per capita” means?

Not per capita. The US, Canada, Australia, and Saudi Arabia are by far much much worse. Pretend each Chinese province is its own country if it makes you feel better. The earth doesn’t care about political boundaries.
