Sounds like a new remit for the NRO. Park a billion dollar satellite over an area to keep an eye out for petty vandalism. Then the sheriffs office can team up with Space Force: papers will be served immediately by LEO MIRV deployment, which may also count as execution depending on visibility and aim on the day.

/s - but it wouldn't surprise me at the rate things are going.

I just have to say: this whole thread is great absurd comedy - I don't think I have laughed at something on HN that much before :).
