Absolutely not.
There were times where such machines would have caused huge protest waves. This basically allows governments to control and suppress the masses. Do you really think this is a good idea?

Would you rather that the masses caused harm to others? At least this way we're harming the people that deserve it

...And later people who peafully protest.

People starting riots? Wave 'em.

People protesting against the government? Wave 'em.

People peacefully demonstrate for human/animal rights? Wave 'em.

 

I see your good intentions, but don't be naive. Don't you agree that it can't be a good idea to give the governments and the police such power?
