    Five bucks says this involves one or more Israeli tech companies. Not that we don’t have plenty of our own domestically.

    Now this is the proper dystopian use of AI I was promised.

    What a waste of resources. They just proved sweeps don’t change crime rates.

    This could be used for good to help speed up outreach efforts, but I think we all know how this is going to be used.

    Ah yes! The most perfectly San Jose move San Jose could pull. Really compliments their police union boss running a fentanyl smuggling ring for years.

    Putting the opinions about homeless and sweeps aside for a sec…I feel like this still doesn’t make sense from the cop perspective. It sounds like this would be mounted to a car that a person is driving. Why not just have the person mark the location, it’s not like they’re hard to recognize.
