What is "hell on earth" to you?

Cops have probable cause and search you. Find no evidence. "Oh boy sorry for the mix up sir". Hell on earth!

Ah yes, those american police who are so well known for their thoughtful and calm approach to suspected shoplifters in low income neighborhoods.

You have an alternative for handling law breakers aside from just letting them do it?
Re:Rite Aid banned from using face recognition software afte... by twisteriffic on Wednesday December 20, 2023 @12:10PM (#38710925)
Your insistence on framing people falsely accused of shoplifting as law breakers is telling.

suspected law breakers then? Fucking semantics people. Also telling.

This entire thread has been about false positives. Innocent people being falsely accused of shoplifting. The difference between committing a crime and not committing a crime is not simply semantics.

Police handle both. The "law breaking" aspect isn't proven until later. So the argument is moot anyway really.

And we return to hell on earth, where an innocent person is put through the grinder of the us justice system.

Spotted the person who has never been detained/arrested and then searched in public before.

Trust me man it’s especially degrading not to mention time consuming.

And in the US, just being arrested -- even if the arrest was a mistake and no charges are filed -- has serious adverse consequences for the arrested person.

"Oh boy sorry for the mix up sir"

i've been racially profiled before and never once has a cop apologized "for the mixup" after detaining me (rudely, usually cursing, fishing for a way to bust me).

"hell on earth" is living in a dystopian society where non-white citizens are detained and held for no reason and assumed to be guilty, because of a malfunctioning "AI" system.
