If cops can use this shit with their own discretion, it’s insufficient to punish the cops that get caught abusing their discretion
This shit shouldn’t even exist in the first place, though.
It sounds like they need a little more oversight but if you read the article the cop was working around the safeguards and using real case #s and whatnot.
The audit caught him though which is a good thing. The not so great thing is that this was an audit to figure out their usage for re,doing licenses, and not a routine audit to check for…behavior like this.
The biggest issue I have with all of this is that he resigned before the merit board could make a determination…so what? That’s that? I’d imagine they can still make a determination.
So he will be hired in the next county over.
No joke, years ago a deputy got busted handcuffing a mentally disabled woman and dragging her by her ankles down a set of stairs on his body cam.
They fucking let him resign after the scandal and he went to the very next county over (my county) and got a job as a deputy on our sheriff’s department where he’s been ever since despite dozens of complaints.
This should not be possible. It should not be possible to use the software at all without a warrant.
Amen.
These tools should be secured so that only a properly Appointed, Licensed and Barred Judge may use the facial recognition software. It’s clear that Officers shouldn’t be allowed…they misuse the tools too often.
Jfc. Can these assholes just stop already???
And as always, ACAB.
The cop played 1-D chess against the software, which was playing 1-D checkers.
