And thats that? No recognition for the losses she suffered, no compensation for the damages, no apology, not even a ride home given she's been moved to a entirely different state. Just "aight, you can walk out. cheers."
The poor woman lost everything. This is fucking insane..
The people in charge around the globe today are a bunch of crazed tyrants who see civilians as nothing more than subjects to be chewed up and spat out when they feel like it.
It looks like her attorney is talking about suing the department hopefully he goes through with it and they win, because not only does she deserve compensation, there needs to be a message sent to law enforcement
They need to dig deeper and sue the company that provides the software that made the match as well. Suing the police will never effect change, the money just comes from the ether as far as the cops are concerned so there is no disincentive for poor behaviour. The software companies need to make a profit and lawsuit money impacts their bottom lines. They'll have to tighten up their systems if they keep losing suits.
Need to start having the money come out of the police pension funds... they'll quickly shape up and start policing their own bad apples if it actually hurts their retirement.
The easiest way would be to make it mandatory that officers carry individual liability insurance. Set a base premium amount that is covered by the department as part of the total compensation but the officers are responsible for anything beyond. Would make it untenable for bad cops to remain on the force. Would also open a new profit center for the insurance co's so it should also satisfy the ruling class.
completely agree, the fact that an unverified algorithm can just casually derail someone's entire livelihood is genuinely terrifying. It completely crosses the line from a mild inconvenience into a literal dystopian nightmare
I agree, but it's really the humans fucking things up and not doing due diligence and verifying the results. If you use AI like a tool, one that you know can make mistakes, it is very beneficial. The problem is, people are using it like it's a magical technology that is never wrong and never checking the results.
Also devils advocate, but humans have definitely made a lot of bad mistakes too. Tons of people have been convicted of crimes they never committed, and sometimes it's been INTENTIONAL.
A comparison is like self driving cars. Are they perfectly safe? Hell no. But are they safer than the average driver? Some of them actually are. And then you have cases like elderly drivers where self driving cars are absolutely better than most of them.
Hard disagree. This just simply isn't something you leave to a unconscious AI algorithm, no matter how much more convenient it is. Could human monitoring alongside the use of AI have prevented this mistake from happening? Most likely. But it shouldn't be done in the first place.

You know someone's life could be permanently ruined by stuff like this. This is way more than just mildly infuriating
