A Tennessee grandmother who spent six months in jail after facial recognition tech falsely linked her to a North Dakota bank fraud investigation now wants compensation for what happened. Angela Lipps is suing the City of Fargo and a Fargo Police Department detective for $10 million over the incident, which led to the loss of her home, car, and dog.

In July 2025, a team of US Marshals arrested 50-year-old Lipps in Tennessee at gunpoint while she was babysitting four young children. She was booked into the county jail in Tennessee as a fugitive from justice wanted in North Dakota.

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.

    • Suspect 1 95% John Gunfinger
    • Suspect 2 94% Mrs. Abuelita

    Uhhhh better run that again....

    • Suspect 1 95% Mrs. Abuelita
    • Suspect 2 94% John Gunfinger.

    OK, let's take her down.

    They are cowards after all. And they're creepy stalker/abusers too.
