The central pillar of our justice system is due process. You have got to be charged with a crime. Then you can challenge those charges in a court of law with a trial.
All devices should just sip power and be charged like a calculator is, with a small solar cell. No power adaptors. It’s easy to put a solar cell into a device, but it’s not powerful enough to drive today’s cell phones or laptops. They need too much power to run.
