This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
In an ideal world, she'd win every penny and the money would come out of the assets of each and every person involved in her arrest, including their immediate superiors so that lessons would be learned.
She lost her assets through no fault of her own. Seems only fair that they should lose theirs, if not worse, because they actually did something wrong.
Detective Lucas Heck proceeded with charges despite knowing that Lipps lived in Tennessee, had never visited North Dakota, did not match the physical description of the suspect captured on surveillance footage, and had no unexplained funds linking her to the thefts.
Wow, ACAB. How wildly incompetent are they?
Yeah, but they closed a case!!
Doesn't a judge or DA or someone have to approve charges? Was it really all left up to one guy's shot judgement?
The companies that run this facial recognition should be the ones to pay first and foremost. The villains never pay themselves, we are paying victims from the taxes of the victims.
I mean while they should be punished for their involvement, the CV didn't keep her in prison for six months
Even so, they oversold the effectiveness you can be sure.
The way these things work it's up to the City Of Fargo to, after paying $10 million to this lady, go after the supplier they hired for the facial recognition service because it was not up to claimed standards and resulted in such losses for the City Of Fargo.
How was this not like immediatly cleared up, dont people have bond hearings within the week, whos rubber stamping this shit
Everybody should just periodically read random court cases, this stuff has always been extremely common and the sop when the mistakes are uncovered is to double down, just attempt to fully bury the innocent person in the system. This is a daily occurrence in every single state in the US.
Real talk, I just saw a quick video about how the mythbusters proved two dudes didn't start a fire they were tortured into signing a confession for. They got a hearing and it was shown that the sheriff had a history of putting innocent people away. And after they were PROVEN FUCKING INNOCENT, they still spent another 17 years in jail!!!
There was a black dude in detroit that got falsely accused, and despite having an alibi and it clearly not being him they tried to make it stick anyway. That was a few years back.
I sat on a jury for a murder trial a few years ago. It's incredible how sloppy it all felt.
Real life is absolutely not Law & Order where the top cops and prosecutors have a perfect case of evidence and then the killer confesses.
Two things that stuck out, witnesses in the car, all gave basically the same account, but not one gave the same drugs they picked up at the time they stopped for drugs.
The defense couldn't quite decide which direction the car was facing in relation to the other vehicle (it was a drive by)
Also they had a video from a gas station they stopped at. And it was like... I guess that is a person, it's not obvious if it's anyone involved in this case." Because it's a cheap gas station camera on a roof, not some perfect HD zoom zoom enhance image.
Because making the billion dollar contractor look bad is not how you advance from prosecuting attorney to politician or whatever.
We have all the wrong people in charge, especially in the legal profession.
10 Million seems low to me. Cars and homes can be replaced: pets and neighbors and community cannot be replaced, they are priceless.
Every person that did the shoddy police and prosecution work should have to lose their house and spend 6 months in jail to keep their jobs.
And their dog.
well, the "good news" is they can literally fuck their dog, be found guilty and then get a job with the FBI
I've heard about these things happening before.
The cops have surveillance video of a suspect, and they feed it into a face recognition AI. The AI then searches for people who look like the suspect.
It's not finding the suspect. It's finding pictures of people who look like the suspect. The cops are supposed to use that to determine if anyone the AI identified possibly could be the suspect.
However, any stupid, lazy cop will pretend that is sufficient and away they go.
From what I've read, the face matching applications even state clearly that the match doesn't constitute any kind of proof that the person identified is actually guilty of anything. Anyone with any brains would understand that you need to have independent verification before even considering arresting someone. Unfortunately, the government doesn't want people with brains working as cops.
They dont hire cops for their brains.... im not entirely sure what the credentials for cops are, but brains is probably a disqualification.
This is also on whatever hillbilly prosecutor they have in ND that didn't immediately dismiss the charge when it came across their desk.
Hope she gets every single dime and that cops loses every fucking thing he owns. Ruin her life knowing goddamn well she was not guilty.
It's "funny" how they never call it "AI" in these kinds of fail tales.
And the state? They jailed her with insufficient proof.
they jailed her with pretty much no proof, pretty much a call from north dakota sayin "go arrest this grandma"
Buried in the article, it came out that the face they used as "proof" was the picture on the FAKE ID that the actual suspect used. They did exactly 0 investigative work. The computer spat out a picture with a name and they just went in guns drawn.
In front of kids.
The only "good" part I guess is that they didn't shoot her or the kids.
Yes.
The lawsuit should include whoever wrote that train wreck of a headline, too
Welcome to the future, you don't have to be afraid if you didn't do anything wrong.
The big talk lately is about making ai your public defender.
So imagine getting fasley accused of a crime and your Ai lawyer throws the case in everyway possible.
At that point we might as well make ai the judge jury and executioner.
Thanks palantir.
There's a new Chris Pratt movie about that, which paints it in a positive light for some reason.
Shit like this sucks because it's the taxpayers that get stuck with the bill. I'm so sick of these huge companies using taxpayers to pay for everything because they dont want to spend their vast fortunes. We see the same thing with huge tax write offs for building things with the promise of more trickle down benefits.
really need to tie these judgement payout to the police pensions, see how quickly they acrually start policing their own
Damn, that's the type of shit that makes one want to rob a bank just hearing about it
Rob a bank? Go to jail.
Don't rob a bank? Beleive it or not, straight to jail
Why are headlines these days written backwards all the time? Is this an AI generation issue, or stupid "journalism standard"?
Without punctuation, this headline implies that Grandma's negligence with facial recognition resulting in being arrested and sued for $10 million.
I had to fix this….
Grandmother launches $10 million lawsuit after being jailed for six months due to faulty AI facial recognition.
One of these cops is going to fuck with the wrong person, and instead of getting sued, they'll get shot.
And all I will say to that is: if that happens, you want me on your jury.
There's probably a reason why the copAI seems to lean towards women and grandmothers.
Uhhhh better run that again....
OK, let's take her down.
They are cowards after all. And they're creepy stalker/abusers too.
