pcr and i share the level of contempt we have for the empire's 'criminal justice system'; 

 

In the USA the Criminal Justice System (sic) Commits More Crimes than Criminals

Paul Craig Roberts

Reports I have read have me inclined to believe that there have been far more wrongful arrests from AI facial recognition and flock cameras  than correct arrests.

In a recent wrongful arrest US Marshalls from the Fugitive Task Force showed up in plainclothes outside a Tennessee grandmother’s home demanding that she come out with hands up.  Her grandchildren and visiting neighbors saw a bunch of armed men and had no idea what was occurring.  It was all the fault of a dumbshit cop in Fargo, North Dakota. The Fargo police officer issued an arrest warrant based on no evidence but his deduction from facial identity that the grandmother 1,200 miles away had committed in North Dakota eight bank fraud felonies.

The police officer made no investigation whether the Tennessee grandmother had committed bank fraud in North Dakota. He relied only on AI and on the American system of plea bargaining.

The grandmother, Angela Lipps, spent about 6 months in prison until it became obvious that she had nothing to do with the crimes of which she was wrongly accused by a totally incompetent police officer who issued an arrest warrant without any investigatory evidence to back it.  

Indeed, from the $10 million lawsuit Mrs. Lipps lawyers have filed, we learn that the lazy cop, Luca Heck, “misrepresented the facial recognition results and omitted material exculpatory information and his failure to corroborate Lipps’s connection to the crimes.”..........more...............
