The police don’t need a computer to suspect you. They already suspect you.

They need a computer to blame the mistake on.

They used to blame the Drug Dog but this is better.

    Exactly what AI is really here for--a supposedly all-knowing machine to lay the blame upon for every mistake or misstep or even unlawful/illegal action taken by authorities. It's an infinite-plausible-deniability machine.

    "Whoops! Looks like our computer mistook you for a criminal! No worries, we'll eventually let you go after having thoroughly terrorized you and threatened your life. Just be more careful next time..."

    Constitutional rights be damned to a state that will kill to maintain its ability to violate them

    Hmmm what about making suspicious facial expressions in view of the mandatory driver-facing camera?

    $5 says it eventually turns out the AI, trained on historical police behaviour, flags cars as suspicious more often if the driver's black.

    You don't have to tell it anything about the driver, it'll guess based on the car's location, make, model, colour and age. AI is really great at spotting patterns, even when you try to stop it.

    Never ask any questions a cop asks. They will be used to justify further suspicions and fishing. Specifically cite and use your right to remain silent. License and registration, that's all they have a right to.

    Cops are not your friends. They are not their to help you. They are there to arrest you.

    So probably cause is now "cause 'AI' said so"? That should not stand up in court at all. wtf?

    I don’t have a link on me but that already happened. A guy got flagged by a casinos AI saying he was banned. The guy showed ID proving he wasn’t the person banned but the cop called the ID a fake and arrested him because an AI face camera said he was someone he wasn’t.

    First they...
    Then they...
    Now they classify me as a terrorist and there's nobody left to defend me or whatever

    Cops are always getting that shot wrong. Being able to articulate a suspicion does not mean simply articulating the WORD suspicion.
