Man Jailed, Raped, and Beaten After False Facial Recognition Match, $10M Lawsuit Alleges::A 61-year-old man alleges that a facial recognition algorithm used a mugshot from the 1980s to ID him in a crime he didn’t commit.
All this for fucking Sunglass Hut… But also, our jail system is ridiculous. Nobody should be unsafe in jail. And the fact that people are put in real danger due to an accusation is beyond broken.
Due to the bail system, jail also serves as punishment for being poor.
I find this sentiment… a bit wishy washy.
When someone bad goes to prison it’s “I hope he gets his ass beat”, when someone innocent goes to prison it’s “how could they let this happen??”
Do you understand "nobody“?
Yeah do you understand how people shit out platitudes about hoping no one gets hurt when it’s someone innocent then turn and say the opposite when it’s someone they hate?
Look at comments when pedos go to jail.
It’s there. Every time.
I don’t want anyone beaten up in gaol.
Ew did you just soft G that?! The fuck
Calm your farm. It’s British/Australian spelling.
Sorry, it just looks like a horrible phaol’d spelling.
Ghoti vibes
Ghoti Hook?
I don’t care if the facial recognition worked exactly as it was supposed to, with 100% accuracy (I know, we are in fantasy land here, but stay with this hypothetical), WTF? Nobody in jail deserves that. Also I’m thinking, does everyone who goes to that jail get beat up and gang raped? It just makes news if it’s the “wrong” guy?
It’s like America wants to create terrorists.
They actually do. It perpetuates profits for the MIC.
About that
I’m not surprised to hear this took place in Texas. Southerners seem to see jail and prison violence as a feature rather than an issue.
10M isn’t enough for this shit…
