Let's expect this gets more common, because that's our trajectory. It's another vector for authorities screwing up, and with our new USA secret police, this vector probably will be used a lot. It's still "police screwed up" and they seem to do that for various reasons, not just this, but it's one more reason.

...??

They had probable cause: two witnesses to the original crime identified him, after the AI identified him. He was rightfully detained, and then proved his innocence, and was released. The system worked as intended. Is the ACLU's goal to never detain someone, ever?

JohnFen•6mo ago
He wasn't just detained, he was arrested. Being arrested all by itself brings a great deal of damage into a person's life even if charges are never actually pressed or the person was found innocent in court.

> The system worked as intended.

If that's the case, then the system is very broken.

What evidence would you need before arresting someone accused of abducting children?
JohnFen•6mo ago
Enough evidence to show that the person is more likely to be guilty than not. In the case at hand, they didn't have that at all.
gus_massa•6mo ago
Witness are very unreliable. Let's say the photo lineup has 6 persons, that appear to be the usual. The police encourage the witness to choose one of them , that appear to be the usual. There is a 16.6% of a coincidence.

This guy has only a 2.7% probability to win the lottery, but if both witness had coincided to selected another person, it would have changed only the name in the post.
