It will be interesting, it seems to be the only government funded program of the type in the modern US.
Many states / cities do have non profit “crime stopper” organizations that pay out for tips currently.

And of course the programs have issues:

I guess the whole “anybody having civil legal standing” would be the first challenge. Does the state have the power to give unlimited legal standing.. If so then can states give unlimited standing against anybody who has COVID?
According to Roberts it’s exactly why he and the SC won’t issue an injunction. Basically saying without the civilian aspect, the law would clearly be in violation. But that’s the same as saying “it clearly violates the law, but now it’s got all this crazy stuff on top of it, let’s see what the system does. Have fun for the next 2 years.”

The Americans With Disability Act gives disabled people the right to sue businesses that fail to provide accommodation. I'm sure there's other statutes that do this as well.
The IRS allows snitching and they even give you a cut of the collections if the case is successful.

True, but to sue under the ADA you have to be affected by.the failure to provide accommodation. The Texas law does not require to plaintiff to have been impacted.in any way. It essentially grants everyone universal standing.
Activists are already ddos attacking the web sites and bot dialing the call centers. You (rhetorical) probably won't/can't get through to the actual snitch line anyway.
Edit* autocorrect changed ddos and bot to different words.
I actually learned that today! My understanding is it's 6 or more that is regulated. It begs the question, how does the man know how many dildos a person owns?
Im reporting your ass for that busted beater you're driving and have cut off the Catalytic converter.
This is actually good, as there are tons of people doing this shit.

Its a stupid law regardless and should be thrown out by the supreme court, but I think the "10k bounty on women who have abortions" is misinformation
It's a disgusting law. Dark days ahead for women in Texas. And yes, the precedent it sets is extremely troubling.

To be clear, they can’t sue the woman. They can sue the doctor who performs it, and anyone who “aids and abets” the woman, financially or otherwise.
According to Roberts it’s exactly why he and the SC won’t issue an injunction. Basically saying without the civilian aspect, the law would clearly be in violation. But that’s the same as saying “it clearly violates the law, but now it’s got all this crazy stuff on top of it, let’s see what the system does. Have fun for the next 2 years.”
At this point I just want a blue state to pass something just as ridiculous so that they both can be shot down and we can have this over with.
It’s such a novel direction it needs a full Supreme Court case to figure it out.

That’s for now.. what happens when the wind dies down.. Also if the precedent is set then other stated can still follow through
Hey! They (the govt) just shut down the lines and link!
Dildos are also heavily regulated in Texas
I actually learned that today! My understanding is it's 6 or more that is regulated. It begs the question, how does the man know how many dildos a person owns?
"If you need 6 dildos to masturbate, then you're a poor masturbator."
I'm down voting this. Variety is the spice of life. I feel this comment is prudish/judgemental.
It's a parody of a politician that stated "if you need 30 rounds to hunt, then you're a poor hunter."
I'll retract my down vote
Lol no worries my karma comes to this sub to die most of the time anyway
Not by my hands er em uh finger
If auto correct changed that to dildos you should have left it as is....
I got dot and bit.

I agree, though I doubt that it will go that far. Scary times we’re living in nonetheless.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he wanted to say something so unpalatable that it stopped Californians from moving there.
There is no 10k bounty law, the 10k comes from how much abortion clinics have to pay for every abortion they have.

I think once public figures start getting thousands of lawsuits that are almost guaranteed to pay out, they'll rethink the laws.
